Abstract
A transfer material is provided that can be more firmly attached to an image substrate without deteriorating printing characteristics concerning image bleeding, printing resolution, and the like. An ink receiving layer is of a gap-absorbing type. An adhesive layer includes discretely disposed adhesive pieces provided on a surface of the ink receiving layer so as to leave exposed portions on the surface of the ink receiving layer.
Claims10
A transfer material comprising:
- (a) a substrate;
- (b) an ink receiving layer provided on the substrate;
- and
- (c) a plurality of adhesive portions provided on a surface of the ink receiving layer,
- wherein the ink receiving layer is of a gap-absorbing type and comprises inorganic particulates,
- wherein the adhesive portions include a plurality of adhesive particles that are aggregated and stacked, the adhesive portions being discretely provided on the surface of the ink receiving layer,
- wherein an average particle size of the adhesive particles is in the range of 0.21 μm to 3 μm,
- wherein a thickness of the adhesive portions is in the range of 0.42 μm to 6 μm,
- wherein surfaces of the adhesive portions are exposed,
- wherein the surface of the ink receiving layer has (i) portions that contact the adhesive portions and (ii) exposed portions that do not contact the adhesive portions, and
- wherein the surfaces of the adhesive portions and the exposed portions are capable of receiving an ink from a thickness direction of the adhesive portions, when an image is printed on the surface of the ink receiving layer.
