Abstract
A receiving paper for thermal transfer recording, having a paper substrate; an ink receiving layer located overlying one side of the paper substrate and configured to receive a heat-melted or heat-softened ink; and a tackifying layer located overlying another side of the substrate, wherein the ink receiving layer is formed by coating an ink receiving layer forming liquid including a resin emulsion overlying the paper substrate; and heating the coating of ink layer forming liquid to a temperature not less than a minimum filming temperature of the resin emulsion.
Claims14
A receiving paper for thermal transfer recording, comprising:
- a paper substrate having opposed surfaces;
- an ink receiving layer located overlying one surface of the paper substrate and configured to receive a heat-melted or heat-softened ink;
- and
- a tackifying layer located overlying the other surface of the paper substrate,
- wherein the ink receiving layer is formed by a method comprising:
- providing a coating of an ink receiving layer forming liquid comprising a resin emulsion overlying the paper substrate, the emulsion having a minimum filming temperature;
- and
- heating the coating of ink layer forming liquid to a temperature not less than the minimum filming temperature of the resin emulsion.
