Abstract
A thermal-transfer laminate film includes a base film and an image protection layer. The image protection layer is provided an the base film and contains a thermoplastic resin and a pearl pigment, a content ratio of the pearl pigment with respect to 100 parts by mass of the thermoplastic resin being 0.5 parts by mass or more and 10 parts by mass or less.
Claims16
A thermal-transfer laminate film, comprising:
- a base film;
- and
- a transferable image protection layer that is provided on the base film and contains a thermoplastic resin and a pearl pigment, a content ratio of the pearl pigment with respect to 100 parts by mass of the thermoplastic resin being 0.5 parts by mass or more and 10 parts by mass or less.
A thermal-transfer sheet, comprising:
- a base film;
- a transferable image protection layer that is provided on the base film and contains a thermoplastic resin and a pearl pigment, a content ratio of the pearl pigment with respect to 100 parts by mass of the thermoplastic resin being 0.5 parts by mass or more and 10 parts by mass or less;
- and
- an ink layer provided on the base film.

An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a conveyor mechanism configured to convey a to-be-recorded medium in a predetermined direction;
- a thermal-transfer sheet including:
- a transferable image protection layer that is thermally transferred to protect an image and contains a thermoplastic resin and a pearl pigment, a content ratio of the pearl pigment with respect to 100 parts by mass of the thermoplastic resin being 0.5 parts by mass or more and 10 parts by mass or less;
- and
- an ink layer that forms an image by being thermally transferred onto a surface of the to-be-recorded medium;
- a travel mechanism configured to cause the thermal-transfer sheet to travel;
- and
- a thermal-transfer head configured to cause one of the ink layer and the image protection layer of the thermal-transfer sheet to be thermally transferred onto the surface of the to-be-recorded medium.
