THERMOSENSITIVE TRANSFER RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

PURPOSE:To enhance low temperature reproducibility and to improve gradations by providing a thermal fusible ink layer which contains ink component containing thermal fusible substance solid at ambient temperature in a porous tissue having specific mean particle size on a support. CONSTITUTION:A thermal fusible ink layer which contains ink component including thermal fusible substance solid at ambient temperature in porous tissue having 2-10mum of mean particle size of pores made of cellulose acetate butylate resin is laminated on a support to form a thermosensitive transfer recording medium. It is preferable to hold ink containing thermal fusible substance, colorant and approx. 20-50wt.% of oil having approx. 300cps of less of viscosity at 25 deg.C in a mesh-like structure made of the porous tissue. Heating energy amount is controlled to control oozing ink amount, thereby obtaining a recording image having gradations.
