摘要:
A thermal transfer sheet is provided that can yield thermally transferred images, which possess excellent various fastness or resistance properties even under severe service conditions, and comprises a transferable protective layer having good transferability. In a thermal transfer sheet comprising a substrate sheet and a thermally transferable protective layer on the substrate sheet, the thermally transferable protective layer comprises a scratch-resistant layer which is repeatedly provided one by one for each picture plane unit in the thermal transfer sheet. An area of the scratch-resistant layer for each picture plane unit is smaller than an area of an object in its transfer surface. By virtue of this construction, at the time of the transfer of a protective layer onto an object, layer cutting does not occur within the scratch-resistant layer but within other layer (such as peel layer or adhesive layer), and, consequently, the protective layer can be transferred with good transferability.

There is provided a holding component for housing or holding a consumption article, which, in use, is detachably mounted in a printing apparatus, can be produced by a relatively simple method, can solve problems of tag separation and deteriorated positional accuracy, and can realize information communication in a stable and highly accurate manner. The in-mold molded component includes a holding component for housing or holding a consumption article, which, in use, is detachably mounted in a printing apparatus. Noncontact information storage means has been in-mold molded onto a part of the holding component so that the noncontact information storage means is bonded integrally to a substrate constituting the holding component.

A holding mechanism 10 for holding an ink ribbon 20 includes a transparent shell 11 and a board 12. The transparent shell 11 of the ink ribbon 20 is provided with wind slack preventive portions 11a to 11d which prevent rotations of a feed bobbin 21 and reel bobbin 22, and wind meandering preventive portions 11e, 11f which bears down an axial end 23a of a film 23. The ink ribbon 20 can be stably held by the holding mechanism 10 during a transportation and a loading thereof. The transparent shell 11 is provided with support portions 11g, 11f which improve a stability when loading.

The present invention provides a method for image formation, that can yield thermally transferred images which are excellent in various fastness properties even under severe service conditions, and an intermediate transfer recording medium for use in the method for image formation. The method for image formation comprises the steps of: providing an intermediate transfer recording medium comprising a substrate film and a transfer portion provided separably on the substrate film; forming an image on the intermediate transfer recording medium in its transfer portion; transferring the transfer portion onto an object; and, thereafter, again transferring the intermediate transfer recording medium in its next transfer portion once or more onto the object with the image formed thereon. In this case, in the intermediate transfer recording medium, a hologram image is set every at least second image plane, and an image can be formed on the transfer portion having the hologram image. This can offer an advantage that the transfer portion, with a thermally transferable image formed thereon, can be transferred onto an object followed by the superimposition of a transfer portion, to be served as the outermost surface in the final form onto the transferred portion once or more to provide a strong film for protecting the thermally transferred image. Thus, the problems of the prior art could have been solved.

A roll-shaped image receiving sheet usable in a thermal transfer printing process. The image-receiving sheet includes a plurality of indeterminatley spaced thermal transfer image-receiving areas, and a detection mark formed on the sheet corresponding to each image receiving area, the mark being adapted for detecting a starting-position for formation of a thermal transfer printing image on each of the image receiving areas.

Disclosed is a printing method which can form an image having a rainbow color and a metallic luster at a low cost. The printing method comprises the steps of: providing a substrate; forming, on a surface of the substrate, a first image using a pigment- or dye-containing first colorant; and then forming a second image using a pearl pigment-containing second colorant.

An intermediate transfer recording medium is such one wherein a transferable layer is peelably provided on a substrate, an image is formed on a receptor layer partially constituting the transferable layer by thermal transfer, and then the transferable layer is retransferred onto a transfer-receiving material. In the intermediate transfer recording medium of a first aspect, the peeling strength “a” of the image formed region and the peeling strength “b” of the image non-formed region, the regions being included in the transferable portion after the image is thermally transferred on the receptor layer, satisfies the following inequality (1): |a−b|≦b/2. In the intermediate transfer recording medium of a second aspect, the peeling strength of the transferable portion at the time of peeling it from the substrate is from 19.30442 to 96.52215 mN/cm (5 to 25 gf/inch), and the thickness of the transferable portion is 3 μm or less.

摘要:
Packaging for reliably fixing an irregularly shaped ink ribbon unit includes few components, including a printing paper roll wound with printing paper, an ink ribbon unit having both a sending roll that is wound with an ink ribbon and a winding roll disposed in parallel to the sending roll, a container for holding the printing paper roll and ink ribbon unit, and a partition member that partitions the container into first and second storage regions, into which the printing paper roll and ink ribbon unit are respectively stored. The ink ribbon unit is arranged in such a manner that the direction of the shafts of the sending and winding rolls is parallel to the bottom surface of the second storage region, and the partition member extends with an inclination relative to a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the second storage region.
