Abstract

PURPOSE:To ensure smooth transfer of a dye and ensure reproduction of a highlight part with rich gradation under a low applied voltage, by providing a transfer-accelerating layer comprising a polyethyleneimine octadecylcarbamate or the like on a thermal transfer layer comprising a dye having specified properties. CONSTITUTION:A thermal transfer recording material 10 comprises a thermal transfer layer 2 and a transfer-accelerating layer 3 provided on a base sheet 1. The base sheet 1 may be a film of a plastic such as polyethylene terephthalate. The transfer layer 2 is a layer comprising a dye capable of being transferred through sublimation, evaporation or melting by heating, and comprises as a main constituent a composition comprising the dye and the like dispersed in a binder such as a cellulose resin. The transfer-accelerating layer 3 provided on the transfer layer 2 is a layer so provided that the dye in the layer 2 is efficiently transferred to a transfer recording material 5 at the time of printing by heating, and comprises the single substance or the mixture of a layer comprising polyethyleneimine octadecylcarbamate or the polyvinyl octadecylcarbamate.

At this time, the reproduction of shading is performed by varying the voltage applied by the thermal head. Printing of shadow areas is done with a high applied voltage, and printing of no illumination areas is done with a low applied voltage.However, in order to obtain delicate image quality, reproducibility of no illumination areas is particularly important, and it is The development of a thermal transfer recording material that can accurately reproduce one image is awaited. This is an attempt to solve the problem by considering the lack of this as a problem.
