<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermal transfer ribbon which gives good sharpness to an image and makes the formed image excellent in solvent resistance and mar resistance on the occasion when the image is thermally transferred to an image receiving body by using the thermal transfer ribbon by a thermal transfer method. <P>SOLUTION: The thermal transfer ribbon is formed by stacking at least a protective layer and a colored ink layer on a base, and the protective layer contains as a main constituent an acrylic-silica hybrid resin being curable by exposure to an ionizing radiation. It is preferable that the silica constituent of the acrylic-silica hybrid resin is 15-60 wt.% and that the resin has no tack before curing at normal temperatures. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
