Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of heat transfer printing consumables, in particular to a heat transfer printing sheet for a high-resolution color pattern with friction resistance and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Heat transfer printing refers to a printing method in which a ribbon with a transferable ink layer is heated by a thermal print head of a heat transfer printer, and the ink layer is transferred to a substrate. Resin ribbons have better printing quality and weather resistance than wax-based ribbons and mixed base ribbons.

[0003] The images formed by the heat melting transfer method have high concentration and high definition, so this method is suitable for printing of images such as text and barcodes. Currently, resin-based carbon ribbons on the market are mainly used for single-color printing or special-color printing of label printing, such as PP, PET, and copper plate paper stickers. However, color printing for outdoor advertising and packaging sleeves requires both high resolution and friction resistance. In view of this, the present application provides a heat transfer printing sheet for a high-resolution color pattern with friction resistance and a preparation method thereof. SUMMARY

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a heat transfer printing sheet for a high-resolution color pattern with friction resistance and a preparation method thereof. The purpose is to use yellow, magenta, and cyan three-color superposition printing to more conveniently realize color-rich pattern printing, and to use a resin with good friction resistance in the ink layer to give the pattern strong friction resistance. Therefore, the heat transfer printing sheet can further fill the technical gap of color pattern printing by color printing of heat transfer resin ribbons.

[0005] The present application solves the above technical problems. The first aspect is to provide a heat transfer printing sheet for a high-resolution color pattern with friction resistance, which comprises a back coating layer, a substrate, and an ink layer sequentially attached from top to bottom. The ink layer is composed of a yellow ink layer, a magenta ink layer, and a cyan ink layer sequentially superimposed from top to bottom.

[0006] The ink layer is formed by coating an ink liquid. The ink liquid mainly consists of the following components: solvent, acrylic resin, polyurethane resin, pigment, filler, and dispersant. The average molecular weight of the acrylic resin is 10000-50000, and the glass transition temperature is 65-150℃.

[0007] The back coating layer is formed by coating a back coating liquid.

[0008] The principle of the present application is: in order to improve the completeness and clarity of image transfer, the acrylic resin with an average molecular weight of 10000-50000, preferably 20000-35000 is adopted, and too low or too high molecular weight may cause uneven distribution of the ink liquid coated on the surface of the substrate, and the above-mentioned molecular weight interval can take into account the transfer effect while reducing the problem of poor transfer caused by too high molecular weight of thermoplastic acrylic; in order to avoid the problem of tailing after the melting of the resin in the ink layer when the print head is heated, the acrylic resin with a glass transition temperature (TG) value of 65℃-150℃, preferably 80℃-110℃ is adopted, and a higher TG value can realize higher precision dot transfer; in order to improve the adhesion effect of the ink layer on the surface of the substrate after transfer, and improve the film forming property and flow property of the acrylic resin, the use of polyurethane resin can further improve the clarity of the image of the transferred body and reduce color deviation and pattern loss caused by transfer defects such as block and tailing; in order to help the ink layer separate from the substrate, the inorganic filler is added to the ink layer to facilitate the separation of the ink layer from the substrate.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the present application are: the thermal transfer sheet of the present application can not only realize high-precision dot superposition of color patterns through three color bands, but also use acrylic resin with an average molecular weight of 10000-50000 and polyurethane resin with a glass transition temperature of 65℃-150℃, so that the transferred pattern has strong rubbing resistance; the inorganic filler is added to the ink layer to facilitate the separation of the ink layer from the substrate.

[0010] On the basis of the above technical scheme, the present application can also be improved as follows.

[0011] Further, the polyurethane resin is a thermoplastic polyurethane resin, and the average molecular weight of the thermoplastic polyurethane resin is 8000-15000, and the glass transition temperature is-30℃-0℃.

[0034] The ink liquid prepared in step S1 is coated on the surface away from the back coating layer of the base body, and then dried to form an ink layer, thereby obtaining a thermal transfer sheet for a high-resolution color pattern resistant to friction.

[0088] Test Example:

[0089] Performance testing of the printed samples of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3.

[0090] Using a color marking printer (manufactured by Matan, model Sprinter 3), the heat transfer sheet prepared in the present examples and comparative examples was transferred onto copper plate paper to form an image (default print test pattern) as shown; the printing speed was set to 0.5 m / min, and the printing density of yellow, magenta and cyan was 23. Figure 2

[0091] The image formed was visually confirmed, and then evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria after 100 rubs with a 1000 g weight on a cloth cover:

[0092] A: No significant loss was observed in the image after rubbing;

[0093] B: Slight loss was observed in the image;

[0094] NG: A large amount of loss was observed in the image.

[0095] The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2. In Example 1, the coating thickness was slightly thin, resulting in color band adhesion during transfer, but the transferred pattern was not lost. In Example 5, the coating thickness was too high, resulting in reverse adhesion of the superimposed part in the superimposed dark color area, resulting in poor interlayer closeness, and a large amount of pattern loss during rubbing.

[0100] ​In summary, the above printing test results, by comparing examples 1-5 with comparative examples 1-2, adding acrylic resin in ink layer 3, and selecting acrylic resin with molecular weight of 20000-35000, too low or too high molecular weight may cause uneven distribution of coating liquid on the surface of the substrate, selecting acrylic resin with this molecular weight range can take into account the transfer effect, while reducing the problem of poor transfer and poor adhesion of the substrate surface caused by too high molecular weight; the TG value of the acrylic resin is 35-130°C, preferably 85-115°C, a higher TG value can avoid the problem of tailing after the resin is melted when the print head is heated, and can further improve the clarity of the image on the transferred body, reduce color deviation and pattern defects caused by transfer defects such as block and tailing; adding polyurethane resin with molecular weight of 8000-15000 in ink layer 3 can reduce the problem of tailing during thermal transfer, while improving the adhesion of the transferred pattern on the substrate surface. By comparing the results of examples 1-5 with comparative example 3, it is shown that ink layer 3 can improve the integrity of the transferred pattern.
