以下、図1乃至図12を参照して、本開示の第1の実施形態について説明する。はじめに図1を参照して、熱転写システム10の全体構造について説明する。
図1に示す熱転写システム10は、基材層11と基材層11の一方の表面上のインク層12と基材層11の他方の表面上の背面層13とを有するインクリボン14を用いて被転写体15に所望のパターンでインク12aを転写する。熱転写システム10に用いるインクリボン14は、昇華性染料インク12aを有する熱昇華型のインクリボン14である。

図1および図2に示すように、第2加熱体211は、巻取部20の近傍に配置されている。第2加熱体211は、ロール状を有し、モータ等の不図示の駆動源の動力によって図1および図2の矢印R3で示す方向に回転する。
制御部24は、第1加熱体22と第2加熱体211とを制御する。具体的には、制御部24は、第1パターンに応じたインク12aをインク層12の一部として転写するように第1加熱体22を制御する。また、制御部24は、第2パターンに応じたインク12aをインク層12ごと転写するように第2加熱体22を制御する。
一方、第2パターンの転写時には、背面層13に対して、昇華性染料インク12aをインク層12ごと転写する、いわゆる異常転写を積極的に生じさせることで、外側インクリボン14Aから内側インクリボン14Bの背面層13へのインク12aの移行を確実に促すことができる。これにより、背面層13に昇華性染料の受容機能がなくても、外側インクリボン14Aには、第1パターンのインク抜け部分を攪乱する第2パターンのインク抜け部分を確実に形成することができる。同時に、第2パターンの高濃度の染料画像がインク層12ごと背面層13に移行することで、内側インクリボン14Bの第1パターンのインク抜け部分を一部覆い隠し、さらに攪乱効果を高めることができる。
図4Aは、第1の実施形態による熱転写システムのインクリボン14を示す断面図である。図4Bは、図4Aのインクリボンの斜視図である。図4Aに示すように、インクリボン14は、順に、背面層13と、基材層11と、インク層12とが積層されて構成されている。また、図4Aに示すように、基材層11は、背面層13に接する樹脂層111と、樹脂層111とインク層12との間においてインク層12に接するプライマ層112とを有する。
基材層11を構成する樹脂層111としては、熱転写に耐え得る耐熱性と強度を有する種々の樹脂フィルムを用いることができる。樹脂層111は、好ましくは、ポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルムである。樹脂層111は、1,4-ポリシクロヘキシレンジメチレンテレフタレートフィルム、ポリエチレンナフタレートフィルム、ポリフェニレンサルフィドフィルム、ポリスチレンフィルム、ポリプロピレンフィルム、ポリサルホンフィルム、アラミドフィルム、ポリカーボネートフィルム、ポリビニルアルコールフィルム、セロハン、酢酸セルロース等のセルロース誘導体、ポリエチレンフィルム、ポリ塩化ビニルフィルム、ナイロンフィルム、ポリイミドフィルム、アイオノマーフィルム等であってもよい。樹脂層111は、上述の樹脂を2種以上含有してもよい。
プライマ層112は、例えば、基材層11へのインク層12の密着性を高めるために設けられている。プライマ層112は、熱可塑性樹脂と無機微粒子112aとを含有している。プライマ層112の無機微粒子112aは、好ましくは、コロイダルシリカまたはアルミナゾルである。コロイダルシリカまたはアルミナゾルを採用することで、インク層12との密着性を確実に高めることができる。無機微粒子112aは、コロイダルシリカ以外のシリカ、例えば、コロイダルアルミナ、カチオン性アルミニウム酸化物又はその水和物、擬ベーマイト等のアルミナゾル以外のアルミナ水和物、珪酸アルミニウム、珪酸マグネシウム、炭酸マグネシウム、酸化マグネシウム、酸化チタン等であってもよい。プライマ層112には、同種類の無機微粒子112aのみが含有されていてもよく、または、異なる種類の無機微粒子112aが含有されていてもよい。プライマ層112の熱可塑性樹脂は、親水性樹脂すなわち水系樹脂である。樹脂層111およびインク層12との密着性が良好で、かつ、インク層12の染着性が低いため、親水性樹脂の中でもポリビニルピロリドン樹脂またはポリビニルアルコール樹脂を好適に用いることができる。親水性樹脂は、ポリエステル系樹脂、ポリアクリル酸エステル系樹脂、ポリウレタン系樹脂、スチレンアクリレート樹脂、エチルセルロース、ヒドロキシエチルセルロース、エチルヒドロキシセルロース、ヒドロキシプロピルセルロース、メチルセルロース、酢酸セルロース、酪酸セルロース等のセルロース樹脂、ポリビニルアセトアセタールやポリビニルブチラール等のポリビニルアセタール樹脂等であってもよい。プライマ層112は、上記の水系樹脂のうち1種類のみを含有していてもよく、または、2種類以上を含有していてもよい。
インク層12すなわち染料層は、1色の単一層であってもよく、または、図4Bに示すように、色相CMYの異なるインクすなわち染料を含む複数のインク層12を、基材層11の同一面に面順次に繰り返し形成したものであってもよい。インク層12は、熱移行性染料を任意のバインダーによって担持した層である。インク層12のインク12aとしては、熱によって昇華移行する各種の昇華性染料インクを用いることができる。熱溶融性インクが印字に適しているのに対して、熱昇華性インクは、印画に適している。インク層12のインク12aとしては、例えば、ジアリールメタン系、トリアリールメタン系、チアゾール系、メロシアニン、ピラゾロンメチン等のメチン系、インドアニリン、アセトフェノンアゾメチン、ピラゾロアゾメチン、イミダゾルアゾメチン、イミダゾアゾメチン、ピリドンアゾメチンに代表されるアゾメチン系、キサンテン系、オキサジン系、ジシアノスチレン、トリシアノスチレンに代表されるシアノメチレン系、チアジン系、アジン系、アクリジン系、ベンゼンアゾ系、ピリドンアゾ、チオフェンアゾ、イソチアゾールアゾ、ピロールアゾ、ピラールアゾ、イミダゾールアゾ、チアジアゾールアゾ、トリアゾールアゾ、ジズアゾ等のアゾ系、スピロピラン系、インドリノスピロピラン系、フルオラン系、ローダミンラクタム系、ナフトキノン系、アントラキノン系、キノフタロン系等が挙げられる。
背面層13は、例えば、第1加熱体22の熱によるステッキングや印画しわ等の影響を防止するために設けられている。背面層13は、樹脂と添加剤とを含有する。添加剤は、樹脂中に添加される態様および樹脂に上塗りされる態様のいずれであってもよい。インク層12との密着性を高めるため、背面層13の樹脂は、インク層12のバインダーの樹脂と同じであることが好ましい。インク層12のバインダーと同じ樹脂としては、例えば、ポリビニルアセトアセタール樹脂やポリビニルブチラール樹脂等のポリビニルアセタール系樹脂等を挙げることができる。背面層13の樹脂は、ポリエステル樹脂、塩化ビニル-酢酸ビニル共重合体、ポリエーテル樹脂、ポリブタジエン樹脂、スチレン-ブタジエン共重合体、ポリアルコール高分子化合物等のポリオール、アクリルポリオール、ポリウレタンアクリレート、ポリエステルアクリレート、ポリエーテルアクリレート、エポキシアクリレート、ウレタン又はエポキシのプレポリマー、ニトロセルロース樹脂、セルロースナイトレート樹脂、セルロースアセテートプロピオネート樹脂、セルロースアセテートブチレート樹脂、セルロースアセテートヒドロジエンフタレート樹脂、酢酸セルロース樹脂、芳香族ポリアミド樹脂、ポリイミド樹脂、ポリアミドイミド樹脂、ポリカーボネート樹脂、塩素化ポリオレフィン樹脂等であってもよい。

次に、以上のように構成された熱転写システム10の動作例について説明する。先ず、不図示の被転写体15の搬送装置は、第1加熱体22とプラテンロール23との間に被転写体15を搬送する。一方、送出部16は、図1のR1方向に回転して、下流側にインクリボン14を送り出し、巻取部20は、図1のR2方向に回転して、インクリボン14を巻き取る。送出部16から送り出されたインクリボン14は、複数の送出側ガイドロール17を経由して第1加熱体22とプラテンロール23との間に到達する。
図8は、第1の実施形態の第1の変形例による熱転写システム10の巻取装置2を示す拡大図である。
図10は、第1の実施形態の第2の変形例による熱転写システム10を示す図である。図10に示すように、熱転写システム10は、第1加熱体22と巻取部20との間のインク転写済のインクリボン14を押圧する2つの歯車27A、27Bを備えてもよい。
図11は、第1の実施形態の第3の変形例による熱転写システム10の巻取装置2を示す拡大図である。図2の説明では、コア本体に直接インクリボン14を巻き付ける態様の巻取部20を例示した。これに対して、図11に示すように、巻取部20は、巻取部20のコア本体の外周面にクッション層28を有していてもよい。クッション層28は、例えば、発泡樹脂やゴム等の弾性材料を含有してもよい。
図12は、第1の実施形態の第4の変形例による熱転写システム10において、インクリボン14を示す斜視図である。図12に示すように、インクリボン14の開始部分に、クッション部としてのリードフィルム141を設けてもよい。リードフィルム141は、基材層11と同一の樹脂でもよいし、発泡樹脂やゴム等の弾性材料を含有してもよい。リードフィルム141を設けることで、第3の変形例と同様に、第2加熱体211がインクリボン14の開始部分を安定的に押圧できる。これにより、インクリボン14の開始部分のインク層12とクッション層28との密着性を確保できるので、インクリボン14の開始部分のインク層12をクッション層28に確実に転写させることができる。
第1の実施形態では、背面層13に含有されたリン酸エステルによって外側インクリボン14Aから内側インクリボン14Bへのインク層12の転写を促す実施形態について説明した。これに対して、第2実施形態では、背面層13の硬化剤による硬化度を抑制することで外側インクリボン14Aから内側インクリボン14Bへのインク層12の転写を促すように構成されている。以下、具体的に説明する。
