ている。Further, in consideration of use in an unmanned station, an image receiving layer for receiving the effective period of the recording medium, and the like,
The pattern layer for identifying transportation such as railways that uses the recording medium is that there is no trouble in the transport system of the automatic ticket gate system (gate resistance) rather than tampering of the recording medium,
It is also required to improve the stain resistance and abrasion resistance of the recording medium.

が形成されていた。It is desirable that the visual information such as the effective period printed on the image receiving layer of the recording medium can be recognized during the usable (effective) period of the recording medium without blurring or disappearing by use. For the purpose of preventing falsification of visual information such as the printed effective period, a pattern layer made of a tint block or the like was formed on the image receiving layer.

脂材料で構成されていた。In the conventional recording medium,
When a desired character, number, symbol or the like (hereinafter referred to as “characters”) is printed on the image receiving layer of the recording medium using the resin-melting type ink ribbon, the image receiving layer has the ink transferability of the resin-melting type ink ribbon. Therefore, the pattern layer is made to have low adhesion to the image receiving layer to prevent falsification of visual information such as the effective period using an eraser etc. In addition, it was composed of a resin material different from that of the image receiving layer.

いると鮮明な印字ができないという欠点があった。Therefore, although the resin material used for the image receiving layer and the resin-melting type ink ribbon is mainly composed of a thermoplastic resin, the printability on the image receiving layer is excellent,
It has low abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, stain resistance, etc., and low gate resistance against automatic ticket gate systems. Addition of additives to improve these properties, or UV curable or electronic materials for the resin that constitutes the image receiving layer By using wire-curable resin as the main component, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, stain resistance, etc. and gate resistance to the automatic ticket gate system were improved, but those resins in a completely cured state should be used. When used as an image receiving layer, there was a drawback that clear printing could not be performed.

困難であった。Further, it has been proposed to use a thermosetting resin as a resin constituting the image receiving layer, but if the reaction of the thermosetting resin is not sufficient at the time of forming the coating film of the image receiving layer, the unreacted curing agent is used for recording. The reaction progresses when the medium is stored or when the recording medium is used, and the printing becomes unclear when the recording medium is issued. When the recording medium is used, the abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, stain resistance, etc. of the image receiving layer and the automatic ticket gate system It was difficult to obtain a recording medium of stable quality because the gate resistance against the change.

When the characters erased on the image-receiving layer of the recording medium with a plastic eraser were erased and tampered with, the pattern layer was easily erased before the characters were printed. , The gate resistance to the automatic ticket gate system was low.

Therefore, if the number of lines is less than 70, there are restrictions on the characters and figures that can be designed on the pattern layer 5. Or, there is a step between the pattern layer 5 and the image receiving layer 2 and the printing quality is poor, and if it is larger than 200 lines, the image area for forming characters or figures designed on the pattern layer 5 is cut off. It is not preferable because the reproducibility is poor.

文字の改ざんも防止することができる。As described above, the thermal transfer recording medium of the present invention is a thermal transfer recording medium in which an image receiving layer is provided on one surface of a substrate and a pattern layer is provided on the image receiving layer. Has a dot area ratio of 60% or more and a number of lines of 70 to 200, and is formed so as to cover the image receiving layer, and the pattern layer has two or more epoxy groups, oxirane groups or ethoxyphosphorus groups, The main component is a resin having an epoxy equivalent of 1200 to 2700, and 0.5 to 10% by weight of a polyester resin having a glass transition point (Tg) of 50 to 80 ° C. is included in order to improve the adhesion between the image receiving layer and the pattern layer. Because it is characterized by
A thermal transfer recording medium with good adhesion to the base material, excellent abrasion resistance, chemical resistance and stain resistance of the pattern layer, easy manufacturing, low cost, excellent design and suitable for automatic ticket gates. Can be provided. Furthermore, when an attempt is made to erase a printed character in the pattern layer using ethanol or the like, the pattern layer is erased at the same time as the character, so that the printed character can be prevented from being tampered with.
