Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent inferiority of transfer, breakage of a thermal head, etc., from occurring by a method wherein polyamide resin, nitrocellulose resin, carnauba wax, and metal containing coloring pigment are contained, each a specific amount, and a weight ratio of polyamide resin to nitrocellulose resin is set in a specific range. CONSTITUTION:2 to 10wt.% polyamide resin, 10 to 25wt.% nitrocellulose resin, 1 to 5wt.% carnauba wax, and 5 to 20wt.% metal containing coloring pigment are contained, and a weight ratio of polyamide resin to nitrocellulose resin is taken as 1/2 to 1/4. The metal containing coloring pigment is preferable only if it contains metal capable of being detected with a sensor (for instance, titanium, zinc, aluminium, etc.).

(Prior Art and its Problems) In recent years, thermal transfer films have been widely used in facsimile machines, word processing sensors, computer terminal printers, and the like. A typical thermal transfer film is a plastic film with a thickness of 2 to 15 μm and a thermal transfer ink layer provided thereon, and when applied to a thermal printer, the thermal transfer ink is transferred onto receiving paper, creating a clear transferred image.

In order to detect the end of the thermal transfer film in thermal printers equipped with this thermal transfer film, it has been common practice to attach a transparent film or aluminum vapor-deposited film as an end film and use a sensor to detect the end of the thermal transfer film. Due to poor work efficiency during slitter processing, a method has been devised in which end marks are printed directly on the thermal transfer film.

In this printing method, if the end mark is printed on the thermal transfer ink layer, there will be a problem of poor transfer, so it is generally printed on the back side with a heat-resistant protective layer.

However, when printing on the back side, the end mark printing part is in direct contact with the thermal head, which may cause poor running of the thermal transfer film, or the end mark may fuse to the thermal head, causing transfer defects, or even worse. Problems such as damage to the thermal head occurred.

Polyamide resins that can be incorporated into the ink for end marks of the present invention include polymerized fatty acid polyamide resins, and a more suitable example is Tomide #1310 commercially available from Fuji Kasei Kogyo Co., Ltd. Examples of the nitrocellulose resin include commercially available products, but more suitable examples include SSI/4 nitrified cotton from Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd. and L1/4 nitrified cotton from Asahi Kasei Corporation. The polyamide resin is blended in the end mark ink of the present invention in an amount of 2 to 10% by weight, preferably 3 to 6% by weight. If it is less than 2% by weight, the adhesion to the film is poor and there are drawbacks such as peeling. If it exceeds 10% by weight, a staking phenomenon occurs, leading to problems such as poor running of the thermal transfer film and severe film damage. The nitrocellulose resin is present in the end mark ink in an amount of 10 to 25% by weight, preferably 15 to 23% by weight. If it is less than 10% by weight, printability will be poor and the transfer of the metal-containing color pigment to the film surface will be poor. If it exceeds 25% by weight, the viscosity of the ink increases, resulting in disadvantages such as drying on the printing plate.

The metal-containing colored pigment used in the present invention may be any pigment as long as it contains a metal (eg, titanium, zinc, aluminum, etc.) that can be detected by a sensor. Typical examples of metal-containing colored pigments include titanium oxide, zinc oxide, aluminum powder, and the like. The location of the metal-containing color pigment in the end mark ink composition is determined by the accuracy of the end mark key installed in the printer, but generally 5.
~20% by weight is suitable. If it is less than 5%, the end mark sensor will not function, and if it exceeds 20%, a residual plate phenomenon will occur during printing, resulting in poor printing suitability, which is not preferable.

Carnauba wax is particularly suitable for the end mark ink composition of the present invention. Other waxes, such as Sasol wax, deteriorate the running properties of the transfer film. The content of carnauba wax as a wax in the end mark ink composition is preferably 1 to 5% by weight. If the content is less than 1%, the end mark ink will fuse to the thermal head, causing poor running and transfer of the thermal transfer film, and conversely, if it exceeds 5%, the printability will be poor during printing, and the ink will not be used as an end mark. This is undesirable as it reduces the functionality of the product.

The ratio of polyamide resin and nitrocellulose resin used as the binder composition in the end mark ink is polyamide resin dinitrocellulose resin -142 to I:
4 is preferable; if the ratio of polyamide resin to nitrocellulose resin exceeds 1:2, it will fuse to the thermal head, causing poor running and transfer of the thermal transfer film, and conversely, if the ratio is smaller than 1.4, This is undesirable because printability deteriorates and the function as an end mark deteriorates.
