Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an image-receiving sheet free of fading in recorded images even when the recorded images are preserved for a long time, by sequentially providing an elastic material layer, a hiding layer and a sublimable dye receiving layer on a base sheet. CONSTITUTION:An elastic material layer, a hiding layer and a dye-receiving layer are sequentially provided on a base sheet. The elastic material layer generally comprises a rubber layer, the rubber being a butadiene rubber, an isoprene rubber or the like. The hiding layer, in which horizontal diffusion of a sublimable dye is less liable to occur than in the elastic material layer, comprises a resin layer containg a while pigment, the resin being, for example,a vinyl chloride resin or an vinyl acetate resin. The dye-receiving layer comprises a dye-receiving resin containing a release agent, the resin being polyethylene phthalate, polybutylene phthalate or the like. Since the elastic material layer is provided on the base sheet, favorable close contact can be achieved between a dye layer of a dye sheet and the receiving layer of this image-receiving layer, so that it is possible to obviate the problems of ununiformity of density of recorded images, generation of dot-shaped voids in the recorded images or an insufficient image density on the whole.

Thermal transfer image recording is a process in which, for example, an electric signal containing image information is sent to a thermal head in which a dot-shaped electric heating element of 4 to 16 dots per dragon is lined up in a row, and at the same time a sublimable dye layer is applied to one side of a support sheet. "Gui sheet that is coated"
A hard copy is created by moving a superimposed image-receiving sheet and an image-receiving sheet in contact with the head, thereby transferring the dye on the gui-sheet to the image-receiving sheet in dots according to image information.

However, when sublimation transfer recording is performed on the image-receiving sheet according to the image information using the Gui sheet using sublimable dye and the image-receiving sheet of the prior invention, if the recorded image is stored for a long period of time, the image gradually becomes blurred.

As a result of intensive research to solve the above problems, the present inventors found that the cause of image blurring was that the dye transferred to the dye-receiving layer gradually migrated perpendicularly to the underlying elastic layer. It was discovered that the dye now diffuses horizontally within the elastic layer.

The mold release agent is used to prevent the receptor layer from adhering to the dye layer on the Gui sheet during recording, and is selected from, for example, silicon compounds, fluorine compounds, higher fatty acids and their metal salts, surfactants, etc. , those having good compatibility with the dye-receiving resin described above are preferred. This is because if the compatibility is poor, the receiving layer becomes non-uniform, the surface loses its luster and uneven dye transfer occurs, and as a result, it becomes impossible to obtain a clear image.

The mold release agent is used in an amount of 0.01 to 0 per 1 part by weight of the dye-receptive resin.
.. An amount of 5 parts by weight is preferred. When it is less than 0.01, it tends to fuse with the dye layer, and when it is more than 0.5, the density of the transferred image decreases.

Next, since a concealing layer is provided between the elastic layer and the dye-receiving layer, the recorded image can be stored under harsh conditions, for example, at 50°C and 80% R.
When stored for a long time under high temperature and high humidity conditions such as H, even if the dye diffuses horizontally into the elastic layer, the concealing layer hides the diffused dye, resulting in blurred images. This solves the problem of
