Description
【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は感熱転写シートに関する。更に詳しくは昇華性に優れた色素を含むインク層を支持体上に担持させた感熱転写用シートに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
カラー記録技術として電子写真、インクジェット、感熱転写等が提案されている。感熱転写記録方式は装置の保守や操作性が容易であるため有利と考えられる。従来、感熱転写記録に適用されるマゼンタ色素としては分散染料、油溶性染料等の中から選ばれて使用されてきた。
ところで、転写シートに用いられる色素は感熱記録ヘッドの熱量で容易に昇華し且つ熱分解を起こさないこと、分子吸光係数が大きいこと、色再現性がよいこと、耐光性、耐候性、耐熱移行性、耐熱性に優れること、安全衛生上問題ないこと等、様々な品質特性が要求されてきた。以上の観点からみた場合、ある程度満足なものが見いだされているが種々の欠点を有している。とりわけ、カラー記録技術の発展とともに銀塩写真方式に近い高鮮明な画質が要求されてきた。この要求を満たすには従来のものでは不満足であった。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は上記品質特性を満足するマジェンタ色素を含むインク層を支持体上に担持させたことを特徴とする感熱転写用シートを提供することを目的とする。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】

4) Transfer recording The ink coated surface of the transfer sheet was overlapped with the receiving sheet and recorded under the following conditions using a thermal head to obtain a clear magenta color with a color density of 1.35.
Recording conditions Main scanning and sub scanning linear density: 8 dots / mm
Recording power: 0.25 W / dot head heating time: 15 msec
The color density was measured using a densitometer RD-914 (manufactured by Macbeth, USA).
5) Light resistance test The obtained image was irradiated with a carbon arc fade meter (manufactured by Suga Test Instruments Co., Ltd.) at a black panel temperature of 63 ± 2 ° C. for 40 hours, but hardly discolored.
6) Heat resistance transfer test Also, the image obtained in 4) was left in an atmosphere at 70 ° C. for 50 hours, and then the surface was rubbed with white paper, but no color was observed on the white paper.
[0030]
Examples 2-5
An ink was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 using 4.0 parts of the dye shown in Table 2, and then a transfer sheet was prepared.
Using these transfer sheets, transfer recording was performed in the same manner as in Example 1. A record having a high magenta color density shown in Table 2 was obtained. Moreover, all were excellent in light resistance and heat transferability.

【The invention's effect】
When thermal transfer recording is performed using the heat-sensitive transfer sheet of the present invention, a very clear magenta image having excellent gradation and high color density can be obtained. Furthermore, since the color reproducibility is good and the light resistance, weather resistance, heat resistance, and heat transfer resistance are excellent, image recording with high storage stability can be performed.
