Definitions

  • the invention relates to an ink ribbon for dye transfer under the action of heat with a carrier layer, a color layer and an exothermic decomposable component which supports dye transfer when heat is supplied.
  • an ink layer applied to a carrier layer contains an aromatic azido compound which decomposes exothermically when a heat is applied by a thermal print head and has a reaction temperature in the range from 170 ° C. to 200 ° C. provides additional heat to soften the color layer.
  • a heat-sensitive ink ribbon with hydrazone derivatives is known as an exothermically decomposable component in the ink layer or as an intermediate layer between the carrier layer and the ink layer; the decomposition temperature is in the range between 150 ° C and 200 ° C; for the specific energy released in the process, the typical value is 200 J / g.
  • the invention has for its object the decomposition of an ink ribbon with an exothermic decomposable component to reduce the temperature even further and to increase the energy thereby released in order to be able to further reduce the drive energy for printing with this ink ribbon.
  • the component of the ribbon of the type specified at the outset consists of cellulose nitrate, the decomposition temperature of which is set in the range between 100 ° C. and 150 ° C. by catalytic additives.
  • the main advantage of the ink ribbon according to the invention is that the cellulose nitrate decomposes explosively when the ink ribbon is heated locally in the area of the printing zone, thereby supplying additional heat to soften the ink layer, as well as a firm bond due to the gases released explosively when the cellulose nitrate decomposes the color on the recording medium to be printed.
  • the energy released during the local exothermic decomposition of the cellulose nitrate is, depending on the respective degree of nitration of the cellulose nitrate, in the order of magnitude of conventional explosives such as TNT or nitroglycerin, so that the color is pressed deeply into the recording medium by the kinetic energy of the gases released during the decomposition and in particular fills up surface depressions of the record carrier.
  • the decomposition temperature i.e. the temperature threshold at which the decomposition of the cellulose nitrate starts, is on the one hand well above the normal ambient temperature and the operating temperature of a printer, while on the other hand the printing temperature required for printing and thus the control energy required for a thermal print head is relatively low .
  • the cellulose nitrate is contained as a component in the ink layer in a heat-meltable ink layer.
  • the latter in the case of a release layer formed between the ink layer on the carrier layer, the latter consists of the cellulose nitrate.
  • the high specific decomposition energy of the cellulose nitrate advantageously allows the release layer to be made very thin, the cellulose nitrate itself forming the release layer and not requiring any additional polymer as a binder. This results in a particularly sharp print image in thermal transfer printing because, due to the thinness of the release layer, its local decomposition area with respect to the heating area of the printing zone is defined with particularly sharp edges, for example by heating elements of a thermal print head or a heat radiation source.
  • the release layer decomposes completely in the area of its local heating, so that afterwards it is no longer possible for the color transferred to the recording medium to stick to the ink ribbon. It is therefore also not absolutely necessary to detach the ink ribbon immediately behind the printing zone from the recording medium, so that in connection with the ink ribbon according to the invention it is also possible to use thermal printheads which are only designed for use with ink ribbons without a release layer.
  • the release layer consisting of cellulose nitrate can be applied very easily from a solution on the carrier layer in the production of the ink ribbon according to the invention.
  • the cellulose nitrate preferably contains 1 to 20 percent by weight of amidosulfonic acid as a catalytic additive, as a result of which the decomposition temperature of the cellulose nitrate is significantly reduced from approximately 180 ° C. to 190 ° C. to approximately 130 ° C. to 140 ° C. A further reduction in the decomposition temperature to approximately 110 ° C. to 130 ° C. is advantageously achieved in that the cellulose nitrate as a catalytic additive has a weight of 1 to 20 percent toluene-4-sulfonic acid contains.
  • the ink ribbon 1 shown in Figure 1 has a carrier layer 2, which consists for example of polyethylene terephthalate or polycarbonate.
  • a color layer 3 is applied to the carrier layer 2, which contains dyes bound in waxes and / or thermoplastics and cellulose nitrate as an exothermic decomposable component.
  • the decomposition temperature of the cellulose nitrate is due to catalytic additives such.
  • amidosulfonic acid which is also known under the names amino-sulfuric acid or sulfamic acid, or toluene-4-sulfonic acid, also known as para-toluenesulfonic acid, are added to the cellulose nitrate as catalytic additives.
  • the decomposition temperature of the cellulose nitrate is reduced by these catalytic additives to about 130 ° to 140 ° C or 110 ° C to 130 °, the heat energy released as a function of temperature at catalyst concentrations below 10% very sharp and steep, at higher catalyst concentrations wider .
  • the specific amount of heat and gas released during the decomposition of the cellulose nitrate depends on the selected degree of nitration of the cellulose nitrate, which is 10.9% to 12.2%; the specific decomposition energy achieved ranges from 500 J / g to 2000 J / g and is thus far above the values for the hydrazone derivatives given in US Pat. No. 4,525,722.
  • the amount of gas released is up to 70% of the amount of cellulose nitrate.
  • the ink ribbon 1 on its side formed by the carrier layer 2 in a manner not shown here is locally heated to a temperature above the decomposition temperature of the cellulose nitrate with the catalytic additives by heating elements of a thermal print head or a heat radiation source (laser) warmed up.
  • the cellulose nitrate decomposes explosively, releasing additional heat and releasing gases (CO2, CO, N2, H2).
  • the additional heat causes the ink layer 3 to melt, while the released gases bind the melted ink particles with high kinetic energy to the recording medium in contact with the ink layer 3.
  • the ink ribbon 4 shown in Figure 2 has a carrier layer 5, which consists for example of polyethylene terephthalate or polycarbonate.
  • the carrier layer 5 carries a release layer (release layer) 6, which consists of cellulose nitrate and from an organic solution such as. B. butyl acetate, ethyl acetate or acetone is applied.
  • the decomposition temperature of the release layer is, as described above for the embodiment of Figure 1, by catalytic additives such as. B. acids or metal salts in adaptation to the heating capacity of different types of printer in which the ribbon 4 is used, adjustable, the amount of heat and gas released in the decomposition of the release layer 6 is dependent on the selected degree of nitration of the cellulose nitrate.
  • Adhesive layer 6 adheres to an ink layer 7, on which, during thermal transfer printing, a recording medium to be printed is guided past (not shown here) with the ink ribbon 4 interposed on a thermal printhead (also not shown) or a heat radiation source.
  • the color layer 7 contains dyes bound in waxes and / or thermoplastics.
  • the ink ribbon 4 is locally heated on its side formed by the carrier layer 5 in a manner not shown here by heating elements of the thermal print head or the heat radiation source to a temperature above the decomposition temperature of the release layer 6.
  • the release layer 6 decomposes explosively, releasing additional heat and releasing gases (CO2, CO, N2, H2).
  • the additional heat causes the ink layer 7 to melt, while the released gases bind the melted ink particles to the recording medium lying against the ink layer 7 with high kinetic energy. Since the release layer 6 decomposes almost completely in the area of its heating, the ink detached in this area can no longer stick to the ink ribbon 1 after the printing zone has cooled, so that perfect ink transfer to the recording medium is ensured.
