Method of thermal transfer recording on marking film
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A thermal transfer recording method, comprising the steps of:
- forming a marking film selected from the group consisting of a plastic film comprising a heat adhesive resin and a plastic film having a heat-sensitive image-receiving layer thereon, the heat-sensitive image-receiving layer comprising a heat adhesive resin;
forming a thermal transfer ribbon by forming a heat-melting ink layer on one surface of a substrate by laminating a separable layer containing a wax and a coloring ink layer on the substrate, the coloring ink layer consisting essentially of a resin and a coloring material and containing substantially no wax; and
forming a pattern on the marking film with the thermal transfer ribbon;
wherein at least one of the heat adhesive resin of the marking film and the resin of the color ink layer comprises sucrose benzoate.

Abstract
A thermal transfer recording method forms a pattern on a marking film, which is a plastic film containing a heat adhesive resin or a plastic film on which a heat-sensitive image-receiving layer, composed mainly of a heat adhesive resin, is formed. A thermal transfer ribbon is prepared by forming a heat-melting ink layer on one surface of a substrate and is used to form the pattern on the marking film. The above method permits the facile formation of a fine or complicated multi-color character or pattern on a marking film in a quick thermal transfer operation at a low cost.
