More specifically, the present invention relates to a film that has excellent running properties and staking resistance, excellent slitting properties, and good flatness, and is suitable for high-speed printing.

ことも良く知られている。Although various recording methods have been known in the past, thermal transfer using a thermal recording device such as a thermal printer is widely used because of its excellent operability and maintainability. As a base film for this printer transfer material, a polyester film, especially a co-axially oriented film of polyethylene terephthalate, has been used because it is excellent in terms of high melting point, heat resistance, chemical resistance, mechanical strength, etc. It is also well known that inorganic particles such as silicon dioxide or titanium dioxide, which are inert to polyester and have an appropriate particle size, are blended into the film in order to improve its runnability and statesking resistance.
しかしながら近年高速転写化において、走行性を高度に
維持するためベースフィルムの表面粗度を比較的大きく
する傾向にあるが、本発明者の知るところによればこの
場合新たな問題が生じるようになる。However, in recent years, with high-speed transfer, there is a tendency to increase the surface roughness of the base film in order to maintain a high level of running performance, but according to the present inventor's knowledge, new problems arise in this case. .
即ち、かかる表面粗度を発現させるためにはフィルムに
含有させる無機粒子の粒径、竜を増大させる必要がある
が、この結果フィルムのスリット性が劣るようになる。That is, in order to develop such surface roughness, it is necessary to increase the particle size and grain size of the inorganic particles contained in the film, but as a result, the slitting properties of the film become poor.

合されている無機粒子のためスリット刃が損傷し易く、
しばしばフィルム端部が盛り上ってしまう。In other words, heat-sensitive transfer agents are used as strips by applying an ink layer to one side of a polyester film and, if necessary, providing a heat-resistant protective layer to the opposite side. The slitting blade is easily damaged due to the inorganic particles added to the film to improve the quality.
The edges of the film often bulge.
その結果フィルムに塗布したインク層が反対面(走行面

マルヘッドを汚す等の障害を引き起すようになる。As a result, the ink layer applied to the film is easily transferred to the opposite surface (running surface), which causes problems such as staining the guide bins and thermal heads of the running system.

成するに至った。As a result of intensive studies in view of the above-mentioned problems, the present inventor found that a film containing a thermoplastic resin other than polyester is useful as a film for thermal transfer, and has completed the present invention.
即ち本発明の要旨は、ポリエステル以外の熱可塑性樹脂

A polyester obtained using an aromatic dicarboxylic acid such as naphthalene dicarboxylic acid or an ester thereof and ethylene glycol as main starting materials is used, but it is also possible to use a so-called copolymerized polyester. In this case, the dicarboxylic acid component is one or two oxycarboxylic acids such as terephthalic acid, phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, 6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid and its isomers, adipic acid, sebacic acid, and p-oxyethoxybenzoic acid. More than one species can be used. Glycol components include diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butanediol, tI-cyclohexane dimetatool,
One or more types of neopentyl glycol can be used. In any case, the polyester of the present invention refers to a polyester in which gθ mol % or more of repeating structural units have ethylene terephthalate units or ethylene-26-naphthalene units.

)を利用することができる。The polyester film in the present invention refers to a polyester film oriented in the -axial direction, which is made from a mixture of such polyester and other thermoplastic resins as a starting material, and can be produced by any known method. For example, it is usually melt-extruded into a sheet at 270 to 320°C, then cooled and solidified at tto-go°C to form an amorphous sheet, and then biaxially stretched vertically and horizontally, or simultaneously stretched. Then, a method such as heat treatment at /1,0 to 230° C. (for example, the method described in Japanese Patent Publication No. Sho JO-stJq) can be used.

発生し易くなる。In the present invention, the blending amount of different thermoplastic resins with respect to polyester is 0.02% by weight or more and less than 3% by weight. If the blending amount is 0.0.2% by weight without grooves, the surface roughness of the obtained film will be insufficient and the workability such as unwinding, winding and running properties of the film will not be satisfactory, and the transfer ink will Ribbons, which are heat-sensitive transfer materials coated with this material, tend to wrinkle. Furthermore, sticking with the thermal head is likely to occur.

If it is less than 0.02 μm, running performance and anti-stacking properties will be insufficient, and if Ra exceeds 7 μm, printing performance will deteriorate and furthermore, the thermal head will be more likely to wear out.
