PRINTING SHEET, INK AND PRINTED SHEET

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printed sheet which is highly weatherable and is free from fear that inked information might disappear when exposed outdoors without the necessity to provide a coat layer on the inked information and maintains excellent legibility for a long time, and also a printing sheet and an ink by which it is possible to print the inked information on site using a thermal transfer process by providing the inked information as occasion may demand. SOLUTION: This printing sheet 1 has at least, an ink receptive layer 1 formed of a fluoropolymer coat and can have an ultraviolet light absorption power or an ultraviolet light scattering power according to necessity. The ink is composed of a fluoropolymer and a colorant and the printing sheet has thermally transferable information 2 composed of ink saved in the ink receptive layer 1. Therefore, it is possible to impart the inked information through a commercially available thermal ink transfer printer depending upon occasion and cause the smooth melting and printing under pressure of the ink on the ink receptive layer through the fluoropolymer at the time of thermal ink transfer to form the inked information with superior holding power and weatherability.
