Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a slip capable of thermal copying by thermal recording with a thermal printer.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, a slip used for home delivery or the like uses a pressure sensitive copying delivery copy slip in which three or more copies are made into one, and handwritten necessary information with a ballpoint pen or the like.
In response to such a situation, there has already been proposed a form in which the number of copy slips is reduced and information is recorded by a thermal copying method instead of a pressure sensitive copying method (Japanese Patent Application No. 11-371029). This method consists of two thermal transfer papers on the top and bottom, and it is only necessary to write information such as the destination and sender directly from the computer. The information required by the delivery company at the relay point etc. is the barcode information printed on the slip. Process by. This delivery thermal copy voucher is very effective when a so-called large sender who directly sends a large amount of goods takes in information directly from a computer terminal.
[0003]
By the way, in general, a copy copy for delivery is color-coded according to the payment method of home delivery charges such as “cash on delivery”, “former payment”, and “cash on delivery”, and the delivery person confirms whether or not charges are collected by that color can do. For example, a copy slip for “cash on delivery” is printed in red in the portion where necessary information is recorded, a copy slip for “prepayment” is printed in green, a slip for “cash on delivery” is printed in orange, etc. Has been.
However, the copy voucher printed by color coding in this way is convenient, but it must always keep all types of delivery vouchers, and the manufacturing cost tends to be complicated and high. Further, as described above, when information is recorded on a copy copy for delivery by a computer, a copy slip in the form of a continuous form is generally supplied to a printer. Since printing had to be stopped and replaced with a copy slip having a color information entry column corresponding to the information, the advantage of continuous processing by using a computer was halved.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is a thermal copying voucher that can be used as a multipurpose voucher in one type of copy voucher without the need to color-print a portion for recording necessary information, for example, when used for delivery It is to provide a thermal copy slip that can perform functions such as “cash on delivery”, “prepayment” or “cash on delivery”.

【Example】
The following examples illustrate the invention in more detail.
Example 1
First, a two-sheet thermal copy slip according to the first aspect of the present invention will be described.
1 to 4 show thermal copying slips 100a to 100c of the present invention formed according to the following procedure. Here, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line OP of the thermal copying slip 100b of the present invention shown in FIG.
1 to 4 includes (1) a thermal member 110 and (2) an image receiving member 120. The thermal member 110 includes a base sheet (A) 111, and the image receiving member. 120 includes a base sheet (B) 121.
[0012]
Each of the base sheet (A) and (B) 111 and 121 may be a material arbitrarily selected from, for example, a polyester film, a polycarbonate film, and a paper sheet.
In the present invention, particularly preferably, the base sheet (A) 111 contained in the heat-sensitive member 110 has a thickness of 25 to 60 g / m.²Use a range of materials. When the thickness of the base sheet (A) 111 is thinner than the above range, workability is extremely deteriorated in the coating process for forming each layer on the front surface and / or back surface of the base paper, or the thickness exceeds the above range. If it is too high, the thermal transfer of the thermal head of the thermal printer will be poor, and it will be difficult to achieve a sufficient transfer color density on the image receiving member 120.
[0013]
Each of the base sheet (A) and (B) surface is a portion for recording necessary information printed in a single color (if desired, with one or more colors) using commonly used inks and devices (hereinafter, It is called an information entry field.) 160.
[0014]
Process ( i ) Preparation of heat sensitive material
After the thermosensitive coloring layer 112 is formed on the surface including the information entry field 160 of the base sheet (A) 111, the thermal transfer layer 113 is formed on the opposite surface.

Specifically, the heat-sensitive color developing layer 112 is prepared by mixing a color developer with a water-soluble binder, and pulverizing and finely pulverizing the mixture in a ball mill or a sand grinder for 8 hours, a developer and a water-soluble binder. A composition for forming a heat-sensitive color developing layer, which can be prepared by mixing with liquid B, which has been pulverized and finely pulverized in water, is applied on the surface of the base sheet (A) 111 containing the information entry column 160 in an amount of 2 8g / m²It is formed by applying and drying.
[0016]
The resulting thermosensitive coloring layer 112 develops color by heating to a temperature range of 80 to 110 ° C. with a printer head of a thermal printer, but the hue changes depending on the type of color former used.
Suitable color formers are leuco dyes, specifically, triphenylmethane compounds, triphenylmethanephthalide compounds, fluoran compounds, phenothiazine compounds, indolylphthalide compounds commonly used in thermal paper. Leuco compounds such as crystal violet lactone, malachite green lactone, 3,3-bis (p-dimethylaminophenyl) -6-dimethyl, leucooramine compounds, rhodamine lactam compounds, triazene compounds and spiropyran compounds Aminophthalide, 2- (N- (3'-trifluoromethylphenyl) -amino) -6-diethylaminofluorane, 3-diethylamino-7-methylfluorane, 3-diethylamino-6-methyl-7-chlorofluor Oran, 3-diethylamino-7-dibenzylaminofluorane, 3-diethylamino-7-anilinofluorane, 3- (N-methylanilino) -7-anilinofluorane, 3- (N-methylanilino) -7-anilinofluorane, 3-diethylamino-7- (m-trifluoromethylanilino) fluorane, 3-diethylamino -6-methyl-7-anilinofluorane, 3- (N-methylcyclohexylamino) -6-methyl-7-anilinofluorane, 3-pyrrolidino-6-methyl-7-anilinofluorane, 3- Piperidino-6-methyl-7-anilinofluorane, 3- (N-methyl-p-toluidino) -6-methyl-7-anilinofluorane, benzo-β-naphthospiropyran, etc.), blue, Examples thereof include those capable of developing colors in various hues such as red and black, and mixtures thereof. The color former may be used as it is in a solid form. Particularly preferably, as the color former, 3,3-bis (p-dimethylaminophenyl) -6-dimethylaminophthalide or 2- (N- (3′-trifluoromethylphenyl) -amino) -6-diethylaminofluoride is used. Use Oran.
[0017]
The developer used for the thermosensitive coloring layer 112 may be one commonly used for thermal paper, for example, montmorillonite, attapulgite, bentonite, activated clay, kaolin and other clay minerals, 4-t-butylphenol, 4-phenylphenol, 2,2-bis (p-hydroxyphenyl) propane [ie, bisphenol A], 4-hydroxy-4'-isopropoxyphenyl sulfone, 2,2-bis (p-hydroxyphenyl) butane, 4 Among the polycondensates of -t-butylphenol and formaldehyde, α-naphthol, β-naphthol, or metal salts of salicylic acid derivatives, zinc salt of 5-phenylsalicylic acid, zinc salt of 5-t-amylsalicylic acid, 5- (4 -Hydroxyphenyl) -salicylic acid zinc salt, 3,5-di-α-methylbenzylsalicylic acid zinc salt, 3-methyl-5-phenyl-salicylic acid zinc salt, salicyl Zinc salts of the condensation products of formaldehyde and the like and. These developers may be used alone or in combination.
[0018]
The water-soluble binder may be one conventionally used for thermal paper, and may be, for example, an aqueous solution of starch, methylcellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, carboxy-modified polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylamide or the like. The composition for forming a thermosensitive coloring layer further includes inorganic pigments (kaolin, clay, calcium carbonate, particulate anhydrous silica, etc.), sensitizers (fatty acid amides, aromatic carboxylic acid esters, fatty acid esters, aromatic ethers). Etc.) and lubricants (paraffin wax, microcrystalline wax, fatty acid amide, fluorinated ethylene, aluminum silicate, etc.) may be contained.
[0019]
The thermosensitive coloring layer 112 may also contain a sensitizer as necessary. Suitable sensitizers include, for example, amides, phenol derivatives, phenyl ether derivatives, biphenyl ether derivatives, naphthylphenyl derivatives and the like, and may be substances having a melting point of 80 to 180 ° C. in particular.
[0020]
The thermal transfer layer 113 formed on the surface of the base sheet (A) 111 opposite to the heat-sensitive coloring layer 112 contains a colorless or light-colored coloring agent and a heat-fusible substance (so-called wax).
The color former used in the thermal transfer layer 113 can be preferably selected from those listed for the thermal color development layer 112 described above. If a desired color thermal recording is obtained, the color development contained in the thermal color development layer 112 is possible. It may be the same as or different from the agent.
The heat-fusible substance that can be mixed with the color former is a wax-like substance having a melting point of 30 to 110 ° C. Such waxes include, for example, carnauba wax, montan wax, auricule wax, candelilla wax, sugar cane wax, coconut wax, paraffin wax, microcritalin wax, Hoechst wax (OP, O, etc.), Paris. Examples include co-wax (WB wax, etc.), NPS wax, rice wax, low molecular weight polyethylene wax, stearic acid, palmitic acid, myristic acid, fatty acid amide (stearic acid amide, etc.), and ketone wax (stealon etc.). It is not limited.
Here, the term “wax-like substance” means a substance that becomes a low-viscosity liquid when heated and melted and solidifies again when cooled below the melting point, and is generally known in the art. It does not represent only esters of higher fatty acids and higher alcohols.
[0021]
The coating solution for the thermal transfer layer is a mixture of the heat-fusible substance (that is, wax) and the leuco dye fine powder as a color former, and if necessary, further adding a plasticizer and heating and melting them uniformly. Prepared by dispersing. The melting point and the viscosity of the coating solution for forming a thermal transfer layer to be used can usually be adjusted by the kind of waxes which are one of the components and the amount of use. A desirable blending ratio of the color former and the wax in the coating solution may be, for example, 3 to 15 parts by weight of the color former with respect to 100 parts by weight of the wax, but the present invention is limited to this range. It is not a thing.
[0022]
For the thermal transfer layer 113, the coating amount for the thermal transfer layer is applied to the back surface of the base sheet (A) 111 by using a flexographic printing or flexographic coating machine.²It can be formed by coating with.
Here, the coating amount and surface state of the thermal transfer layer 113 are determined by the gravure or flexographic printing plate mesh, but in the present invention, in particular, 100 to 300 lines / inch, most preferably 120 to 200 lines / inch. And a flexo or gravure printing plate having a mesh with a depth of 10 to 60 μm, preferably a depth of 30 to 50 μm, is preferably applied.
[0023]
In the present invention, the thermal transfer layer 113 may be provided with mineral oil, tetraundecyl silicate, tetradidecyl silicate, tetratrisilicate silicate as necessary in order to impart a function such as copyability by a low energy thermal printer. It is also possible to further add a plasticizer such as decyl or chloroparaffin.
[0024]
In the heat-sensitive copying slip 100 of the present invention, more preferably, a UV curable ink is formed on the heat-sensitive coloring layer 112 and the thermal transfer layer 113 in order to prevent unnecessary coloring contamination of the print recording portion that occurs during transportation and / or handling. First and second overcoat protective layers 115 and 116 are formed. In particular, the second overcoat protective layer 116 is formed so as to cover the entire surface of the thermal transfer layer 113, and the first overcoat protective layer 115 is designated to receive a receipt stamp in the information entry field 160 on the thermosensitive coloring layer 112. It is formed so as to cover the entire surface other than the location and the pasting designated location such as the revenue stamp (portion indicated by the arrow in FIG. 2).
[0025]
The UV curable ink suitably used for forming the first and second overcoat protective layers 115 and 116 may be a conventionally used UV curable ink that is dried and cured by light energy. An overcoat ink containing a resin may be used, and examples thereof include those described in JP-A-11-123870. Specifically, an ultraviolet curable resin; a photopolymerization initiator; a sensitizer; and If necessary, extender pigments may be contained. These UV curable inks can be used as they are, or auxiliary agents such as petrolatum, matting agents, slip agents or antifoaming agents used in conventionally known printing inks; and chain transfer of acrylic monomers, prepolymers, etc. It may be used after further adding various auxiliary agents effective for the ultraviolet curing reaction mechanism such as an agent.
In the present invention, the UV curable ink for forming the first overcoat protective layer 115 may further contain a silicon-based lubricant such as acrylate ester group-containing polysiloxane and mercapto group-containing polysiloxane.
[0026]
The ultraviolet curable overcoat ink has a partial polymerization reaction so that the entire system does not become hot due to partial large shear stress applied during the kneading of the above components in the production process. Care must be taken not to happen, but otherwise it can be produced in a manner similar to printing inks commonly used in the art. In any of the above inks, for example, each component is kneaded using a three roll mill, a sand mill, a KD mill, a ball mill or the like, and dispersed to obtain an ink.
The first overcoat protective layer 115 is applied in a coating amount of 0.1 to 2.5 g / m according to a planographic printing, relief printing, screen, gravure and flexographic printing methods.²After being applied on the thermal transfer layer 14 in the above range, it may be formed by irradiating with ultraviolet rays and curing.
Here, the coating amount is 0.1 g / m²If it is less than 2, unnecessary color contamination of the print recording part during storage or transportation cannot be sufficiently prevented, or 2.5 g / m.²If the value exceeds 1, copying by the applied energy of the printer becomes insufficient, and neither is preferable.
[0027]
Here, most preferably, both the thermal transfer layer 113 of the thermal member 110 and the second overcoat protective layer 116 covering the same are opposed to the first thermal coloring ink layer 150 described in detail later. It is formed except the part to be. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the first thermosensitive coloring ink layer 150 from being mixed and colored.
[0028]
Process ( ii ) Preparation of image receiving member
The image receiving member 120 includes a base sheet (B) 121 having a thermosensitive coloring layer or developer layer 122 on the surface having the information entry field 160. Here, the thermosensitive coloring layer 122 may have the same composition as that of the thermosensitive coloring layer 112 formed on the thermosensitive member 110, or the color former may be different as desired.
[0029]
When the developer layer 122 is formed on the base sheet (B) 121, the composition of the developer layer 122 is such that the leuco dye transferred from the thermal transfer layer 113 is colored by applying heat to form a print record. It may be anything, and preferably contains a developer and latex or binder.
Examples of the developer include those similar to those incorporated in the thermosensitive coloring layer 112 formed on the thermosensitive member 110, and more preferably, two or more developers that are particularly excellent in thermosensitivity. Mix and use the agent. Most preferred developers for use in the present invention are phenolic materials such as 2,2-bis (p-hydroxyphenyl) propane [ie bisphenol A] or 4-hydroxy-4'-isopropoxyphenyl sulfone. It is a mixture with a zinc salt of a salicylic acid derivative (in particular, a zinc salt of 3,5-di-α-methylbenzyl-salicylic acid).
Specific examples of the latex contained in the developer layer 122 include SBR latex, NBR latex, PSBR latex, and the like, and specific examples of the binder include aqueous solutions of starch, polyvinyl alcohol, and the like.
The developer layer 122 is, for example, information on the base sheet (B) 121 obtained by finely dispersing a developer in an aqueous solution of the latex and / or water-soluble binder using a ball mill, a sand grinder, or the like. Dry coating weight of 2.0 to 7.0 g / m on surface with entry field 160²It can be formed by applying in the range of and drying.
[0030]
Process ( iii ) Formation of thermal coloring ink layer
Next, in the present invention, the portion selected from the layer and the surface excluding the portion where information is recorded by the thermal action (that is, the information entry field) can be colored by the thermal action applied for the upper recording. A heat-sensitive color ink layer is provided.
For example, in the heat-sensitive copying slip 100a shown in FIG. 1, a heat-sensitive color ink layer 150 which develops a pink color when heated in a strip shape across the heat-sensitive printing direction on the heat-sensitive color developing layer or developer layer 122 of the image receiving member 120. Is formed.
[0031]
Process ( iv ) ~ ( v ) Adhesion of each component
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, first, the second overcoat protective layer 116 and the thermosensitive coloring layer or developer layer 122 are arranged to face each other, and the first overcoat on the thermosensitive coloring layer or developer layer 122 is arranged. A first sheet layer 117 is formed in a region where the heat-sensitive color ink layer 150 does not exist, and the heat-sensitive member 110 and the image-receiving member 120 are adhered to each other, whereby the two-sheet heat-sensitive copying slip according to the first aspect of the present invention. 100a to 100c are obtained.
[0032]
Process ( vi )cut off
In the present invention, for example, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the thermal copying slips 100b and 100c may have the thermal members 110 at both ends in the thermal printing direction cut off 190. By this cut-off process, the surface of the base sheet (B) 121 or the left end portion 190 of the heat-sensitive color developing layer or developer layer 122 is exposed.
In the thermal copying slips 100b and 100c of another embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, a thermal coloring ink layer is also formed on the exposed portion 190.
The thermal copying slip 100b shown in FIG. 2 includes a first thermal coloring ink layer 150 that develops a pink color when heated in a strip shape across the thermal printing direction on the thermal coloring layer or developer layer 122 of the image receiving member 120. A portion of the base sheet (B) 121 that does not have the heat-sensitive color developing layer or the developer layer 122 (left end portion 190 in the figure) is also stripped across the heat-sensitive printing direction and turned green by heating. A second heat-sensitive color ink layer 155 that develops color is formed. As another embodiment, the thermal copying slip 100c shown in FIG. 4 is a first color that develops in a strip shape across the thermal printing direction on the thermal coloring layer or developer layer 122 of the image receiving member 120, and pink when heated. A heat-sensitive color forming ink layer 150 is formed, and on the heat-sensitive color developing layer or the developer layer 122, a portion where the surface is exposed (the left end portion 190 in the drawing) is strip-shaped across the heat-sensitive printing direction. In addition, a second thermosensitive coloring ink layer 155 that is colored green by heating is formed.
[0033]
In the present invention, the formed first and second thermosensitive color ink layers 150 and 155 are preferably characterized in that they develop colors with a hue different from the hue representing the information recorded by thermal action.
[0034]
More preferably, the first and second thermal coloring ink layers 150 and 155 may have different coloring hues, that is, different coloring agents may be used. These thermal coloring ink layers express a predetermined combination of colored hues by changing the portion to which the thermal action is applied according to the purpose of use of the thermal copying slip. It can be easily determined visually by determining whether the payment method is “cash on delivery”, “prepayment” or “cash on delivery”. (For example, when only the first thermal coloring ink layer 150 is heated and colored pink, it is a “pay-on” delivery slip, and only the second thermal coloring ink layer 155 is heated and colored green. (If it is a “prepayment” delivery slip, or if both are heated and colored, it is a “cash on delivery” delivery slip, etc.)
[0035]
In the first aspect of the present invention, the position, area and form of each heat-sensitive color ink layer, and the color hue thereof are not limited to those illustrated in FIGS. It may be changed appropriately according to. That is, the thermal coloring ink layer can be formed in any form other than the above on the surface of any layer or member other than the above as long as it does not have an information entry column. It may be formed in a U-shape or the like excluding the entire peripheral edge or a part of the peripheral edge.
[0036]
Further, in the present invention, a UV curable ink similar to that described above is applied on the exposed thermosensitive color ink layer (for example, the second thermosensitive color ink layer 155 in FIGS. 2 and 4) to provide an overcoat protective layer. As a result, it is possible to prevent unnecessary color contamination of the print recording portion that occurs during the conveyance and / or handling of the thermal copying slip 100.
[0037]
Here, the first adhesive layer 117 may be formed using an adhesive or an adhesive that is usually used in the art, such as a vinyl acetate emulsion, an ethylene vinyl acetate emulsion, an acrylic resin emulsion, or a urethane resin emulsion. Synthetic rubber latices and mixtures of these adhesives with wax emulsions such as polyethylene wax can be used.
[0038]
Process ( vii ) Die cut
A further feature of the present invention is that the thermal member 110 and the image receiving member 120 are die-cut 180 together at a desired position on the thermal copying slip, particularly near the center in the thermal printing direction. With this die cut 180, the heat sensitive member 110 and the image receiving member 120 can be separated into two or more sections, most preferably two sections (see FIGS. 1-4).
In the thermal copy slips 100a to 100c thus separated, the thermal cut member 110 and the image receiving member 120 are bonded to each other on the left side from the die cut 180 by the first adhesive layer 117, so that one recording sheet is formed and the die cut 180 is formed. On the right side, there are two recording sheets comprising a heat sensitive member 110 and an image receiving member 120.
Further, the heat-sensitive member 110 and the image receiving member 120 can be separated into two or more sections by applying a microsewing machine having a cutting portion of 0.35 mm or more and a non-cutting portion of 0.20 mm or less instead of the die cut 180.
[0039]
The thermal copying slips 100a to 100c of Example 1 are all copied through the protective layer 116 by the thermal action imparted to the thermal coloring layer 112 by the thermal transfer layer 113 provided on the back surface of the base sheet (A) 111. The information is recorded on the base material (B) 121 according to the thermal action. At the same time, the heat-sensitive color ink layers 150 and 155 provided separately can be colored as required.
[0040]
Example 2
As a second aspect of the present invention, a three-sheet copy slip 100d is shown in FIG. The copy slip 100d is manufactured in the same manner as the copy slips 100a to 100c of the first embodiment except that the copy slip 100d further includes a separately prepared tack sheet.
[0041]
Process ( viii ) Preparation of tack sheet
As shown in FIG. 5, the tack sheet 130 is formed by applying an arbitrary pressure sensitive adhesive such as a chloroprene rubber system, a nitrile rubber system, or a styrene-butadiene rubber system to one surface of the base sheet (C) 131. Is provided by forming the pressure sensitive adhesive layer 135 by further coating with a release paper 140. The base material sheet (C) used may be arbitrarily selected from those described for the base material sheets (A) and (B).
The release paper 140 is used to avoid contamination of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 135 and adhesion to other articles during storage and transportation before use of the thermal copying slip 100, and has been used in the related art. Any of those processed (for example, silicone-processed paper, wax-processed paper, etc.) can be applied.
[0042]
Process ( ix ) Formation of thermal coloring ink layer
The thermal copying slip 100d according to the second aspect of the present invention forms a thermal coloring ink layer in an arrangement as shown in FIG. 5, for example.
For example, a heat-sensitive color ink layer 150 that develops a pink color by heating is formed on the heat-sensitive color developing layer or developer layer 122 of the image receiving member 120 in a strip shape across the heat-sensitive printing direction, and the base sheet (C). Also on the surface having no pressure sensitive adhesive layer 127 of 131, a second heat-sensitive color ink layer 155 that develops a green color by heating can be formed in a strip shape across the heat-sensitive printing direction. Here, the second heat-sensitive coloring ink layer 155 is a surface that does not have the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 127 of the base sheet (C) 131 by cutting off both ends of the heat-sensitive member 110 and the image-receiving member 120 in advance if desired. It is also possible to form it on the exposed part (for example, the left end 190 in FIG. 5).
[0043]
In this copy slip 100d, the first heat-sensitive color developing ink layer 150 may be in a state protected from the outside by the base sheet (A) 111, such as 121 on the base sheet (B) or the developer layer 122 or the base. It is disposed on the sheet (C) 131. Considering the amount of heat, it is desirable that the first thermosensitive coloring ink layer 150 can be in direct contact with the base sheet (A) 111 or the protective layer 116. That is, the first thermosensitive coloring ink layer 150 can be colored by a thermal action via the base sheet (A) 111, and is disposed at a position where the base sheet (A) 111 serves as a protective layer. Specifically, the periphery of the heat-sensitive member 110 and the image-receiving member 120 around the first heat-sensitive coloring ink layer 150 is partially bonded to the base sheet (C) 131, and the heat-sensitive member 110 is peeled off by a peelable pressure sensitive adhesive. (C) Fixed to 131. The position of the first thermosensitive coloring layer 150 is provided on the image receiving member 120 below the position where the overcoat protective layer 115 or 116 provided on the base sheet (A) 111 is present. With this configuration, the first thermosensitive coloring layer 150 is improved in weather resistance by the base sheet (A) 111 and the overcoat protective layer 115 or 116.
Further, it is preferable to provide a protective layer also on the second thermosensitive coloring ink layer 155. For example, it can be formed simultaneously with the formation of the overcoat protective layer 115.
[0044]
In Example 2, two different colors of the thermal coloring ink layers 150 or 155 are provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the hue, number (1 or more), and arrangement can be arbitrarily determined depending on the application.
