Abstract

PURPOSE:To form thermal transfer lettering with excellent fretting resistance of an ink on an image-receiving sheet by incorporating a thermoplastic acrylic resin in an ink layer of a thermal transfer ribbon, and providing a thermoplastic resin layer on an image-receiving surface of the image-receiving sheet. CONSTITUTION:A thermoplastic acrylic resin is incorporated in an ink layer of a thermal transfer ribbon in an amount of at least 10wt.%, whereas s single or two or more kinds of thermoplastic resin layers having a softening point of 50-165 deg.C is provided on an image receiving sheet, the thickness of the thermoplastic resin layer(s) on the sheet is set to be 0.1-10mum, and the center line average roughness (Ra) in a reference length of 0.08mm according to JIS B 0601 of the surface of the thermoplastic resin layer is controlled to or below 1mum. This construction makes it possible to obtain a printed image with excellent fretting resistance. If the content of the acrylic resin is less than 10wt.%, the fretting resistance of the printed image will be unsatisfactory. If the softening point of the thermoplastic resin is below 50 deg.C, the fretting resistance is poor whereas if the softening point is above 165 deg.C, transferability of a ribbon ink will be poor.

[Prior art] In recent years, with the remarkable development and improvement of character generation technology, dot characters have become extremely similar to printed characters.As a result, thermal transfer printing has been developed as a method for creating lettering, taking advantage of its advantages such as miniaturization, low noise, and maintenance-free printing. The method of creating lettering has become widely used. However, although this ink, which has both thermoplasticity and plasticity due to external stress, has been put into practical use for lettering, it has poor scratch resistance after being transferred onto a receiving sheet, and the printed characters may become smeared or erased. However, it had the disadvantage that it did not work, and it could not be said to be sufficient.

[Means for Achieving the Object] The present invention provides a method for producing thermal transfer lettering in which a thermal transfer ribbon ink layer contains 10% or more of a thermoplastic acrylic resin, and a transfer sheet has a softening point of 50. ℃
A thermoplastic resin layer or two or more types of thermoplastic resin layer at a temperature of 165° C. to 165° C. is provided, and the thickness of the thermoplastic resin layer on the transfer sheet is set to 0.
1 to 10 μm, and furthermore, the J of the surface of the thermoplastic resin layer
By setting the center line average roughness (Ra) at a standard length of 0.08 mm as specified by ISB 0601 to 2 μm or less, the above objective can be achieved and a printed image with excellent scratch resistance can be obtained. If the content of the thermoplastic acrylic resin in the transfer ribbon ink is less than 10% by weight, the scratch resistance of the printed image will be insufficient. Most preferably it is 30-75% by weight. Furthermore, if the softening point of the thermoplastic resin on the transfer sheet is less than 50'C, the abrasion resistance will be weak and if it exceeds 165°C, the ribbon ink transferability will deteriorate. Most preferably the temperature is 80"C to 120C.

Furthermore, with respect to the thickness of the resin layer, if it is less than 0.1 μm, the scratch resistance will be poor, and if it exceeds 10 μm, problems will arise in terms of adhesion to the transfer sheet base material and print clarity. Most preferably it is 1 to 3 μm.
