。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] This invention relates to a thermal transfer recording medium. More specifically, the present invention relates to a thermal transfer recording medium for recording an image on a transfer target such as paper using a thermal head.

あるため、広く利用されている。Conventionally, as methods for recording color images, in addition to printing methods such as offset printing, inkjet recording methods, electrostatic toner recording methods, thermal transfer recording methods, and the like have been used. Among these, the thermal transfer recording method is widely used because the device used can be miniaturized and maintenance is simple.

に特に適しているものである。Among the thermal transfer recording methods, the method in which sublimation dyes or heat-melting migration dyes are used in the thermal transfer recording medium as an ink layer (hereinafter referred to as the sublimation transfer method) produces images with excellent gradation. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for recording in full color.

れている。In such a sublimation transfer method, a material in which a dyeable resin layer is laminated on a base material such as paper or a plastic film is used as the transfer target. Then, a transfer image is formed by pressing the thermal transfer recording medium and the object to be transferred, and applying heat thereto from a thermal head in accordance with an image signal. At this time, due to the heating, the binder resin of the thermal transfer recording medium and the dyeable resin of the transfer object may be softened and thermally fused together. For this reason, in order to prevent the heat-sensitive transfer recording medium and the transferred object from being thermally fused and melted, heat-adhesion prevention treatment is performed by adding a release agent such as silicone oil to the dyeable resin layer of the transferred object.

されるようになってきている。このような被転写体の中
には、その表面に指紋や埃の付着を避けねばならないも
のがある。However, with the recent expansion of uses for the sublimation transfer method, inconveniences have arisen due to the addition of release agents such as silicone oil. In other words, recently, as a transfer object, there are films made of dyeable resin itself such as vinyl chloride resin, objects made of dyeable resin as a base material such as OHP transparent films, and objects such as ID cards and prepaid cards. Products that are either the raw material itself or molded products made of dyeable resin have come to be used. Some of these transfer objects must be protected from fingerprints and dust on their surfaces.

紋や埃の付着が避けれないという問題があった。If a release agent such as silicone oil is not added to such a transfer target, the thermal transfer recording medium and the transfer target will be thermally fused during thermal transfer, but if a release agent is added, fingerprints will be removed. There was a problem that adhesion of dirt and dust could not be avoided.

った。On the other hand, when a release agent such as dimethyl silicone, methylphenyl silicone, or silicone oil is added to the thermal transfer ink layer of a thermal transfer recording medium, the dye retention ability of the binder in the ink layer decreases, and the ink layer There were problems in that the dye inside would loom out over time, deteriorating the storage stability of the thermal transfer recording medium and making it impossible to obtain clear transferred images.

定性にも優れた感熱転写記録媒体を提供することを目的
とする。This invention is an attempt to solve the above-mentioned problems in the conventional technology, and it is possible to apply a sublimation transfer method to a transfer material without adding a release agent such as silicone oil to prevent heat fusion. In contrast, it is an object of the present invention to provide a heat-sensitive transfer recording medium that can form a clear image without causing thermal fusion during transfer and also has excellent storage stability.
上記の目的は以下のこの発明により達成された。 The above objects have been achieved by this invention as follows.

転写性記録媒体を提供する。That is, the present invention provides a heat-sensitive transferable recording medium comprising a base film and an ink layer laminated thereon containing a heat-transferable dye and a binder, in which the ink layer contains a silicone-modified polymer of 0.1 to 10.0%. A heat-sensitive transferable recording medium containing % by weight is provided.
以下、この発明の感熱転写記録媒体を図面に基づいて詳
細に説明する。Hereinafter, the thermal transfer recording medium of the present invention will be explained in detail based on the drawings.

の画像を鮮明に得ることを可能とする。The silicone-modified polymer has a peeling effect similar to that exhibited by silicone, and is compatible with the binder of the ink layer 1. Therefore, it is possible to prevent thermal fusion between the thermal transfer recording medium and the transfer target during transfer, and furthermore, the thermal transferable dye can be stably retained in the ink layer 1 over time, and it is possible to It is possible to clearly obtain a desired image even on a transferred object that has not been subjected to heat fusion prevention treatment with a release agent.

基含有シリコーン等を使用できる。As the silicone-modified polymer used in this invention, silicone-modified acrylic resin, silicone-modified epoxy resin, silicone-modified ester resin, etc. can be used. In particular, a silicone-modified acrylic resin can be preferably used because it does not impair the permeability of the thermal transfer dye to the ink layer 1 and provides excellent storage stability for the thermal transfer recording medium. Further, as the silicone for modification, fatty acid-modified silicone, methoxy group-containing silicone, hydroxyl group-containing silicone, etc. can be used.

が低下する。The weight ratio of the silicone for modification to the polymer before modification with silicone is preferably in the range of 5 to 50% by weight when the polymer is, for example, an acrylic resin. If the amount is less than 5% by weight, a sufficient effect of preventing heat fusion may not be obtained;
If it exceeds 0% by weight, the storage stability of the thermal transfer recording medium will deteriorate, as in the case where silicone oil is blended into the ink layer.

体に移行してしまい、所謂地汚れという現象が生じる。The amount of such silicone-modified polymer added to the ink layer 1 is 0.1 to 10% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 5% by weight, and more preferably 1 to 3% by weight. If less than 0.1% by weight is added, a sufficient effect of preventing heat fusion cannot be obtained;
If more than 10% by weight is added, the compatibility between the thermal transferable dye and the binder decreases, resulting in a decrease in the binder's ability to retain the dye, so the pressure of the thermal head transfers the dye to the transferred object without applying heat during transfer. Otherwise, even at a heating temperature lower than the normal heating temperature, the dye may migrate to the transfer object, resulting in a phenomenon called background staining.
また、シリコーン変性ポリマーとして、更に含フッ素脂
肪酸又はフッ素変性シリコーンで変性したものを使用し

含有比率の低下に伴なう転写濃度への影響を軽減するこ
とができる。Furthermore, when a silicone-modified polymer further modified with a fluorine-containing fatty acid or a fluorine-modified silicone is used, the effect of preventing heat fusion can be further enhanced. Therefore, it becomes possible to reduce the amount of silicone-modified polymer used. This makes it possible to reduce the influence on the transfer density caused by the reduction in the content ratio of the heat-sensitive transferable dye due to the addition of the silicone-modified polymer into the ink layer 1.
また、シリコーン変性ポリマーに付加する含フッ素脂肪
酸又はフッ素変性シリコーンの量は、０．１〜５．０重
量％の範囲が好ましい。Further, the amount of fluorine-containing fatty acid or fluorine-modified silicone added to the silicone-modified polymer is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 5.0% by weight.

。The silicone-modified polymer contained in the ink layer of the thermal transfer recording medium of the present invention has a peeling effect similar to that exhibited by silicone, thereby preventing thermal fusion between the thermal transfer recording medium and the transfer target during thermal transfer. . In addition, since it is compatible with the binder of the ink layer, it can stably retain the heat transferable dye in the ink layer over time, and it can also be used to transfer dyes that have not been treated with a release agent such as silicone oil to prevent thermal adhesion. It is also possible to clearly obtain a desired image of the body.
以下、この発明を実施例により具体的に説明する。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to Examples.
