IMAGE TRANSFER MATERIAL FOR THERMAL RECORDING

摘要

An image transfer material for thermal recording capable of providing a highly precise printing quality suitable for multiple printing operations comprises a base film having, on one of its surfaces a layer of a colouring material. The base film is made of an aromatic polyamide and has a Young's modulus EMD in the longitudinal direction, measured at 20.degree.C and at a relative humidity of 60%, of at least 6.86 GPa. The base film is in a substantially flat condition and is capable of maintaining a flat condition after having been heat-treated at 200.degree.C for 10 minutes in the absence of an applied tension.
