ことがしばしばである。[Background of the Invention] In recent years, in information recording materials such as various 10 cards, development has been carried out to provide color image information as well as character information or signal information such as a bar code to the same recording material. This recording material, on which character information or signal information is recorded, is optically processed using light with a wavelength longer than 750 nm, such as a semiconductor laser or light emitting diode, in order to speed up information judgment, prevent misidentification, and downsize reading devices. It is often read as such.

Among them, thermal transfer is easy to operate and maintain, has a compact device, and is low in cost. It has excellent features such as being able to perform the following tasks and having low running costs.

記録には有利である。Thermal transfer methods include a method in which a transfer sheet having a meltable ink layer on a support is heated by a thermal head to melt and transfer the ink onto a transfer sheet, and a method in which a support contains a sublimable dye. There is a sublimation transfer method in which a transfer sheet with an ink layer is heated by a thermal head to transfer the sublimable dye, but the sublimation transfer method changes the thermal energy of the thermal head to change the amount of dye transferred. This makes it possible to control the gradation of the image, which is advantageous for full-color recording.

Color images, character information, etc. are formed by sequentially transferring three color pigments of magenta and cyan, but the pigment used in these conventional transfer methods is 725 nm.
Since dyes do not have sufficient absorption as described above, it has not been possible to optically read formed character information and the like using light with a wavelength longer than 750 ns.
