Abstract
A transfer recording medium capable of obtaining a satisfactory transfer image is provided without fusing a base film due to heat even if the medium is used for a printer using a large-output laser beam. The medium is made by forming an adiabatic layer or a heat absorbing layer between the base film and a light-heat conversion layer or an ink layer containing a light-heat conversion agent and sublimating dye formed on one side of the base film or forming the heat absorbing layer on the other side of the base film.
Claims9
A transfer recording medium in which at least one light-heat conversion layer containing a light-heat conversion agent and one ink layer containing a sublimating dye are coated in order on one side of a base film, or at least one ink layer containing both light-heat conversion agent and sublimating dye is coated on one side of a base film, characterized in that at least one layer preventing heat produced by the light-heat conversion agent from being absorbed by the base film is further formed on the base film.
