Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the formation of a hole in a substrate or the cutting thereof even when a color material solution of a solvent system is applied on the substrate being poor in solvent resistance and thereby to enable the application of the color material solution without any problem by having a construction wherein a thermosetting resin layer is laminated on the substrate and then a color material layer is laminated on said layer. CONSTITUTION:A thermosetting resin layer is provided on a substrate and then a color material layer is provided on said layer. In the case when a hot-melt color material layer is formed by solvent coating on a substrate formed of a polymer being poor in solvent resistance, neither wrinkle nor cutting takes place on or in the substrate in the process of coating even when any ordinary solvent is used, and the coating can be performed without any problem. In a thermal transfer recording medium having the color material layer on one surface of the substrate, a thermal transfer recording medium of the present inventing has a construction wherein thermosetting resin is laminated on the substrate and then the color material layer is laminated on said resin. For the substrate, a well known film or paper can be used. As for the thermosetting resin, the resin obtained by making a self-crosslinking water resin emulsion or a water resin emulsion having a hydroxyl or carboxyl group react with a hydroxylic resin crosslinking agent is used.

In the thermal transfer recording method, an image receptor is superimposed on the coloring layer surface of a thermal transfer recording medium in which a coloring material layer containing a coloring material is formed on a base material, and the coloring material layer is applied to the back side of the thermal transfer recording medium through a thermal head or an electric head. Recording is performed by heating the recording medium to transfer the coloring material in the thermal transfer recording medium to the image receptor. From the point of view of coloring materials, these methods include a melt-type transfer recording method using a heat-melting coloring material layer, and a coloring material layer containing a sublimable dye (
There is a sublimation transfer recording method using a heat-transferable coloring material layer.
In terms of heating means, a thermal head method and an energization method are known.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the above-mentioned thermal transfer recording medium, the heat-melting coloring material liquid is usually applied by the following three methods.

One is hot-melt coating, in which the colorant liquid is melted with heat to lower its viscosity and applied at high temperatures, and the other is solvent coating, in which the colorant liquid is applied by dissolving the colorant components in an appropriate organic solvent. The remaining seven are water-emulsion coach inflatables in which coloring components are dispersed in water and applied.

Hot-melt coating is the cheapest coating method as it does not require drying of the solvent and the manufacturing cost of the coating equipment is low. However, if the melt viscosity of the colorant liquid is high, it is necessary to control the coating thickness thinly. is difficult.

Water-emulsion Φ coatings do not present any particular problems during application, but in order to achieve stable dispersion, a surfactant must be used, and these surfactants often have a negative effect on the performance of the colorant. Can be seen. Another drawback is that water as a dispersion medium must be dried, resulting in high energy costs.

Solvent coating does not require any particular surfactant to dissolve and disperse the binder colorant, nor does water require any energy costs to dry the solvent. However, aromatic solvents such as toluene, ketone solvents such as methyl ethyl ketone and methyl imbutyl ketone, and ester solvents such as ethyl acetate and butyl acetate, which are commonly used in solvent coatings, do not have good solvent resistance as base materials. Polymers When using resin films such as polycarbonate, polyacrylate, polysulfone, polyethersulfone, etc., they attack the substrate, cause wrinkles, and eventually cause the substrate to break. Therefore, when using substrates made of the above-mentioned superior materials, coating is not possible.

In addition, in the case of the current-carrying method, a metal thin film layer may be provided between the heat-fusible colorant layers on the base material, but in that case, the color material liquid is applied directly onto the base material. However, during coating, the solvent may penetrate through defects in the metal thin film layer, amplifying scratches on the base material surface, creating holes in the base material, or in severe cases. for,
The base material may be cut. Further, even after coating, a part of the base material is eroded by the solvent that has penetrated into the thin metal layer, and a part of the thin metal film layer is peeled off and transferred during printing.

c) Means for Solving the Problems) As a result of intensive studies by the present inventors to solve the above problems, it was found that by providing a thermosetting resin layer and then a coloring material layer on the base material, solvent resistance can be improved. When coating a hot-melt coloring material layer on a substrate such as a polymer with poor quality, no matter what kind of solvent is used, the substrate may wrinkle or cut during coating. We have discovered that coating can be performed without any problems and have arrived at the present invention.

Modified products such as (for example, glycidyl etherification) are used.

The composition ratio of the resin emulsion to the crosslinking agent is preferably 2// to //3 in terms of the ratio of reactive groups.

The dry coating thickness of the thermosetting resin is 0.02 to 70
μm Preferably 0.7 to g μm, more preferably 0
.. A range of 2 to 48 m is good. If the coating thickness is less than 0.0.2 μm, when a solvent-based coloring material is applied later, the solvent may pass through the film and attack the base material, causing holes or cutting of the base material. However, if it is thicker than 70 μm, heat transfer from the thermal print head during printing or from the resistive layer when energizing is slow, resulting in poor thermal efficiency, resulting in blurred printed images and an inability to increase printing speed. The negative effects of this can be seen.

The significance of providing a thermosetting resin layer on a base material and then a coloring material layer is that, in addition to preventing wrinkles and cutting of the base material when applying the coloring material, It also has the effect of increasing the adhesive strength between the layer and the base material and making it difficult for the colorant layer to peel off. In addition, in the case of an energization method in which a metal thin film layer is provided, there is also an effect of preventing a phenomenon in which a part of the metal thin film layer is peeled off and transferred together with the coloring material during printing.

Composition of heat sublimable coloring material layer This coloring material liquid was applied onto the previous thermosetting resin layer using a gravure coater at a coating speed of 10 m/min to a dry thickness of 0. There was no amplification of scratches, holes, or cuts, and the coating could be applied without any problems. Further, this recording medium was slit onto a ribbon, and the image receiving paper having a color developing layer containing polyester resin and fine silica on the surface was printed using a Sharp electric printer WD-
When printing using 02HP, the coloring material layer did not peel off,
It was possible to print clear characters without background smudges.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, even when a solvent-based coloring liquid is applied onto a substrate with poor solvent resistance, there is no problem in that the substrate is not punctured or cut. It is possible to provide an excellent heat-sensitive transfer recording medium on which a coloring material liquid can be applied and the coloring material layer has good peeling resistance. Therefore, the present invention is extremely useful industrially.
