この発明は熱転写記録用インクシートに係り、特にその
色材層(インク層)を形成するインク組成物に係る。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to an ink sheet for thermal transfer recording, and particularly to an ink composition forming a coloring material layer (ink layer) thereof.

着色剤として顔料、色素を含む熱溶融性物質から成る。Thermal transfer recording ink sheets are made by coating at least one coloring material layer on a support such as paper or plastic film, and perform recording by thermally melting solid ink and transferring the ink onto the recording paper. . As for the heating method, heating may be performed using a heating element from the side opposite to the coated surface or from the coated surface side via the recording paper, or heating may be performed by energization by providing a resistive layer on one layer constituting the ink sheet. The coloring material layer is made of a heat-fusible substance containing a pigment or dye as a coloring agent.

が一般に用いられている。As the heat-melting substance, heat-melting materials such as carnauba wax and paraffin wax are used. As the support, polyethylene terephthalate film, polycarbonate film, etc., which have excellent surface smoothness and dimensional stability, are generally used.

劣化防止、ラインプリンターについては電源小型化等が
可能になる為である。When recording a transferred image on plain paper or the like using such a thermal transfer recording ink sheet, for example, a thermal transfer printer equipped with a thermal head is generally used, but it is desirable to keep the thermal energy required for printing as low as possible. It will be done. By suppressing the thermal energy required for printing to a lower level than before, this technology shortens the head heating and cooling cycle time, enabling faster printing, as well as preventing thermal deterioration of the head and reducing power supply for line printers. This is because miniaturization becomes possible.
又、ベースフィルムの耐熱性不足も補うことができる。It can also compensate for the lack of heat resistance of the base film.

生するため実現は容易ではない。However, if the melting point of the ink composition is designed to be low in order to increase the transfer sensitivity of the thermal transfer ink sheet, when printing on plain paper, background stains will occur due to the low melting point components of the wax, and the fixation and fastness of the print will deteriorate. In addition to the decrease in temperature, a so-called blocking phenomenon also occurs when the environmental temperature rises during storage, so it is not easy to realize this.

。Example 1 Polydecamethylene adipate (number average molecular weight 1600,
Melting point 73°C) 80 parts Ester Gum 11S (Arayo Kagaku) 5 Carbon Black 15 The above composition was kneaded with 200 parts of toluene in a ball mill for 12 hours to obtain a uniform coating solution. This coating liquid was applied with a wire bar onto a 6μ thick polyethylene terephthalate film (Toshi, Lumirror), and after drying, a color material layer with a thickness of 3.5μ was provided to create a thermal transfer ink sheet. did. In this way, the created thermal transfer recording ink sheet was printed on a line-type thermal transfer printer (NIP 5234°9.4 dots/m
m, Nihon Denki type) plain paper (BEKK160 seconds)
The density of the transferred image was measured. In order to investigate the relationship between printing energy and transferred image density, operate the density adjustment lever to adjust the pulse width of the applied voltage from 0.65 to 0.85.
Macbeth Densitometer (RD514)
(type). As a result, the pulse width of the applied voltage necessary to obtain a transferred image with a density of 1.2 was 0.66 seconds.
