Coloring agent carrying medium used in two-phase thermal recording system

摘要

A coloring agent carrying medium comprises a heat-resistant flexible substrate (1) having a front surface, a plurality of transfer ink films (3a/3b/3c) formed on the front surface of the heat-resistant substrate at spacings and containing a pigment transferred to a recording medium upon application of heat, and a plurality of sublimation ink films (2a/2b) formed on the front surface of the heat-resistant substrate between the transfer ink films and containing dyestuffs and at least one binder mainly composed of a crosslinked product of polyvinyl alcohol, and the binder allows the dyestuffs to penetrate into the recording medium without leaving from the heat-resistant flexible substrate.
