- the inorganic fine powder used for the surface layer (B) is not particularly limited, and the same type of material as the base material layer (A) can be used. However, it is necessary that the surfaces of these inorganic fine powders have been subjected to a hydrophilic treatment.
- the hydrophilization treatment of the inorganic fine powder is carried out, for example, by mixing and dispersing a surfactant such as a metal salt of a fatty acid with a mixer or the like, or dispersing an anionic polymer dispersant or a wet force when the inorganic compound is wet-pulverized in an aqueous medium. It can be carried out by treating with a thione-based polymer dispersant and drying.
- heavy calcium carbonate treated with a cationic polymer dispersant is preferably used.
- Preferred examples of the inorganic fine powder having a surface subjected to hydrophilization treatment include those described in JP-A-7-300568 and JP-A-10-17679. it can.
- inorganic fine powder having an average particle size of 1.5 / m or less is blended and kneaded with a thermoplastic resin, secondary agglomerates are likely to be generated due to poor dispersion, but such inorganic fine powder whose surface has been hydrophilized is used.

- the base material layer (A) 40 to 85% by weight of a thermoplastic resin and 60 to 15% by weight of an inorganic or organic fine powder are blended. If the amount of the fine powder exceeds 60% by weight, it becomes difficult to form a fused thermal transfer recording sheet having a uniform thickness. On the other hand, if the amount is less than 15% by weight, the amount of pores formed by stretching is small, so that the pressure of the heat-sensitive head becomes uneven during thermal transfer printing, making it difficult to obtain a high-definition image.
- the surface layer (B) 30 to 90% by weight of a thermoplastic resin and 70 to 10% by weight of an inorganic fine powder whose surface is hydrophilized.
- the amount of the inorganic fine powder exceeds 70% by weight, it is difficult to stretch uniformly, and the surface of the produced heat transfer recording sheet is liable to be cracked, so that the practicality is lowered. If the amount of the fine powder is less than 10% by weight, the number of fine cracks and holes generated in the surface layer (B) is insufficient, and the ink adhesion of the transfer ink is deteriorated.

- uniaxial roll stretching is preferable because the stretching ratio can be adjusted arbitrarily and the size and number of pores formed can be controlled.
- a footpole-shaped hole ⁇ crack is formed, so that many finer holes can be formed than in biaxial stretching.
- the resin is oriented in the flow direction of the film, it is possible to obtain a fusion heat transfer recording sheet with higher tensile strength and less dimensional change due to tension during printing and processing than unstretched film. .
- the stretching ratio is not particularly limited, and is appropriately determined in consideration of the purpose of use of the melt thermal transfer recording sheet of the present invention, the characteristics of the thermoplastic resin used, and the like.
- a thermoplastic resin When a propylene homopolymer or a copolymer thereof is used, it is uniaxially stretched 1.2 to 10 times, preferably 2 to 7.5 times. If the stretching ratio is less than 1.2 times, fine pores effective as a fusion heat transfer recording sheet cannot be obtained. On the other hand, when the stretching ratio exceeds 10 times, many stretching breaks occur. In addition, the pores of the obtained surface layer (B) are too large, and the transferability of the low gradation part is reduced.
- high-temperature heat treatment is performed by a known method using a heating roll or a hot air oven.
- the stretching speed is preferably from 20 to 350 m / min.
- the melt thermal transfer recording sheet of the present invention has a porous structure having fine pores, and the porosity calculated by the following formula (1) is preferably in the range of 5 to 60%. . If the porosity is less than 5%, the adhesiveness of the ink will be poor, and the pressure of the heat-sensitive head will become uneven during thermal transfer printing, making it difficult to obtain a high-definition image. On the other hand, if the porosity exceeds 60%, the material strength of the film decreases, and the surface tends to be easily destroyed by cellophane tape or the like.
- the surface layer (B) of the melt thermal transfer recording sheet of the present invention has a pore size in the range of 0.5 to 15 ⁇ m and a smoothness of the recording surface in the range of 2000 to 10,000 seconds. preferable.
- the “pore size” refers to an average value of the length of the longest part of a crack or a pore.
- smoothness means the smoothness measured by JISP 8119. If the pore size of the surface layer (B) is larger than 15 zm or the smoothness is less than 2000 seconds, the transferability of the low gradation part (highlight part) becomes poor, and a high-definition image is obtained. Tends to not be obtained.
- the recording paper will block or the running performance in the pudding will deteriorate, resulting in multiple colors. In the case of printing, color misregistration tends to occur, and a high-definition image cannot be obtained.

- Binders for ink ribbons used for melting and thermal transfer printing include box-type, resin-type, and mixed types of wax and resin, but these binders that melt during transfer printing and the surface of the recording paper surface are free. It is necessary that the energies are similar for good transfer. That is, if the surface free energy of the recording sheet is less than 33 dyn / cm, the ink is transferred too much, and the ink is transferred to a portion other than the printing portion, and the ink tends to be stained. Conversely, if the surface free energy exceeds 65 dyn / cm, the adhesion between the recording paper surface and the melted ink will be weak, and the first color ink will peel off the recording paper during multiple colors (color superposition). The transfer density tends to decrease due to the occurrence of flipping.
- the thickness of the recording sheet of the present invention is preferably in the range of 30 to 40 from the viewpoints of the running property of the recording sheet and the gradation of the obtained image when recording in the recording medium. More preferably, it is in the range of 50 to 300 zm.
