Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a thermal transfer sheet which can prevent a kick and a scumming, and can form a photographic tone color image of high quality with a continuous tone image by sublimation transfer, while expanding the range of choices for colorants to be included in a colorant layer; a coating liquid for colorant layer to be used for forming the colorant layer of this thermal transfer sheet; a method for manufacturing this thermal transfer sheet; and image forming method employing this thermal transfer sheet. The problem is solved by a thermal transfer sheet (1) in which at least a colorant layer (3) is layered on a substrate sheet (2), wherein the colorant layer (3) contains a predetermined solvent, a colorant (10x) dispersible in the predetermined solvent, a dispersant, and a binder resin, and the dispersant being one or more selected from the group consisting of polyether-based dispersants, graft type polymer dispersants, acryl-based block type polymer dispersants, urethane-based polymer dispersants and azo-based dispersants.
Abstract:
The present invention is to provide a thermal transfer sheet which is able to prevent a heat resistant slipping layer from transferring to a guide roller, etc., and which is able to prevent wrinkles when printing. Disclosed is a thermal transfer sheet including a substrate sheet, a thermal transfer layer disposed on one side of the substrate sheet, and a heat resistant slipping layer disposed on the other side of the substrate sheet via a primer layer, wherein the primer layer contains a cured product of a resin composition containing one or more kinds of resins selected from a urethane resin and a polyester resin and a compound having a functional group selected from an epoxy group, a silanol group and a hydrolyzable silyl group.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a thermal transfer recording sheet that enables images having a wide color gamut, a high chroma, and good lightfastness, in which the degree of catalytic fading is reduced, to be formed. The thermal transfer recording sheet includes a base material and a colorant layer on the base material. The colorant layer includes a yellow dye layer, a magenta dye layer, and a cyan dye layer. The dye layers each include, as a dye, a compound having a specific structure.
Abstract:
A lightfast orange color compound is provided. The compound has a structure including a pyrazolone ring and a thiazole ring that are bound to each other.
Abstract:
This invention provides an azomethine compound that can realize a good coupling reaction and, at the same time, can significantly reduce the production cost of the azomethine compound, the azomethine compound comprising a pyridine ring bonded through a nitrogen atom to a 1H-pyrazolo[1,5-b][1,2,4]triazole ring. The azomethine compound is represented by formula (M-I): wherein R1 represents a phenyl group or a naphthyl group optionally substituted by an alkyl group or a halogen; and R2 and R3 each independently represent a C2-4 (number of carbon atoms) alkyl group.
