COLOR RIBBON FOR THERMO-SUBLIMATION PRINT, METHOD FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF SAME AND ITS APPLICATION

摘要

Description of a color ribbon for thermo-sublimation print, comprising a carrier and a color layer formed on the carrier, with a sublimeable coloring sub stance disperse in a polymer binding agent, whereby a top coat is located on the color layer which contains a water-soluble cellulose ether. The cellulose ether preferably c ontains C1-C4-alkyl- or C1-C4-alkyl-hydroxyalkyl remnants and is specifically. Methyl-hy droxy-ethyl cellulose. The color ribbon has the advantage that the transferred color s ubstance volume is selectively reduced with low print energies, that inside the ribbon sp ool there is no unwelcome color substance transfer onto the neighboring loops and that dur ing the printing procedure there is no agglutination between the color layer of the color ribbon and the color receiving layer of the receiver foil.
