Thermotransfer printer film comprises an upper low friction layer and a lower elastomer layer, with pores that pass through both layers.

摘要

A film for a thermotransfer printer, which has numerous pores and which is located between the print carrier and the ink, comprises an integral pair of layers. The upper layer (21) consists of a low friction material whose elasticity can be changed by heating. The lower layer (22) consists of an elastomer material. Pores (25) pass through both layers. The pores can be selectively widened to let the ink pass to the carrier.
