THERMAL TRANSFER RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

Provided is a thermal transfer recording medium which can be transferred well even onto a medium to be transferred such as a durable plastic film. The printed matters can obtain all together sufficiently high mechanical abrasion resistance, solvent resistance against various solvents and light fastness against rays such as UV rays. The above thermal transfer recording medium comprises at least a support and a thermal transfer ink layer provided on the support, wherein the thermal transfer ink layer contains a colorant and a vinyl chloride base copolymer obtained by copolymerizing three components of 50 to 90 % by weight of vinyl chloride, 5 to 20 % by weight of vinyl acetate and 10 to 30 % by weight of hydroxyacrylate each based on the whole amount of the monomers.
