DYE RIBBON FOR THERMAL DYE TRANSFER

摘要

A known ink ribbon consisting of a carrier layer and an ink layer also contains an exothermically decomposable component which, when heat is supplied, supports ink transfer. …In the new ink ribbon(1, 4) a particularly good release of the ink layer (3, 7) from the carrier layer (2, 5) and a firm attachment of the ink to a record carrier to be printed are attained by providing cellulose nitrate as a component in the ink layer (3) or in the form of a release layer (6) between the carrier layer (5) and the ink layer (7). The decomposition temperature of the cellulose nitrate is adjustable in the region between 100 DEG C and 150 DEG C by the addition of catalysts. ……
