Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of thermal transfer paper, in particular to a thermal transfer paper with anti-curling and high smoothness. Background Art

[0002] Thermal transfer paper is to print patterns on printing thermal transfer paper with special thermal transfer paper ink, and then transfer the patterns to products through temperature and pressure. The current production method of thermal transfer paper is as follows: first, select or design the required transfer pattern and separate the colors of the pattern by computer; then, engrave the intaglio or relief plate of the transferred pattern on the plate roller through an electro-engraving machine; apply transfer ink on the plate roller and overprint the separated-color patterns on the printing thermal transfer paper, which is the thermal transfer paper. During transfer, the side of the thermal transfer paper with the pattern is attached to the object to be transferred. After controlling for a certain time, temperature, and pressure, the pattern on the transfer paper is printed on the object, and the transfer paper is removed to complete the transfer of the pattern. Since this kind of thermal transfer paper uses electro-engraving for plate making, the printed pattern is rough and not delicate, with poor layering, and the engraving time is long. It can only transfer some low-grade patterns with low surface requirements. Some thermal transfer papers use inkjet-type transfer papers. If the paper surface of the transfer paper is rough, it will wrinkle severely and rub against the nozzle during printing, causing great harm to the delicate nozzle. Moreover, the existing transfer papers are prone to heat curling during the thermal transfer process. Therefore, a thermal transfer paper with anti-curling and high smoothness is proposed here. Content of the Utility Model

Among them, a release layer and a thermal sublimation layer are provided between the coating layer and the base paper. The upper surface of the coating layer is provided with a smooth layer, and a reinforcement layer is provided below the base paper. The hardness of the reinforcement layer is higher than that of the base paper. By setting the smooth layer, the base paper has better smoothness during inkjet printing, avoiding damage to the high-precision nozzle when rubbing against the raised paper wrinkles during printing. The setting of the coating layer on the thermal sublimation layer greatly reduces the curling phenomenon during high-temperature transfer of the thermal transfer paper. And the setting of the reinforcement layer with a hardness higher than that of the base paper increases the thickness and hardness of the thermal transfer paper, which can also greatly reduce the curling phenomenon, avoid misalignment and deformation of the image, and improve the quality of the thermal transfer paper.

[0007] Preferably, the reinforcing layer is made of a PET base film material, and the reinforcing layer is connected to the base paper through a first adhesive layer.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present utility model provides a technical solution: a heat transfer paper with anti-curling and high smoothness, including a smooth layer 5, a coating layer 2, a thermal sublimation layer 4, a release layer 3, a base paper 1, and a strengthening layer 6 from top to bottom. Among them, a release layer 3 and a thermal sublimation layer 4 are provided between the coating layer 2 and the base paper 1. A smooth layer 5 is arranged on the upper surface of the coating layer 2, and a strengthening layer 6 is arranged below the base paper 1. The hardness of the strengthening layer 6 is higher than that of the base paper. By setting the smooth layer 5, the base paper has better smoothness during inkjet printing, avoiding damage to the high-precision nozzle when printing due to rubbing against raised paper wrinkles. The setting of the coating on the thermal sublimation layer greatly reduces the curling phenomenon during high-temperature transfer of the heat transfer paper, and the setting of the strengthening layer 6 with a hardness higher than that of the base paper increases the thickness and hardness of the heat transfer paper, also greatly reducing the curling phenomenon, avoiding image misalignment and deformation, and improving the quality of the heat transfer paper.

[0024] Please focus on referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the strengthening layer 6 is made of PET base film material, and the strengthening layer 6 is connected to the base paper 1 through a first adhesive layer 7. The base paper 1 is made of glassine paper, CCK or PEK paper. The base paper 1 and the release layer 3 are connected through a second adhesive layer 8. The first adhesive layer 7 and the second adhesive layer 8 can be acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive, the first adhesive layer 7 and the second adhesive layer 8 can also be silicone structural adhesive, or a resin adhesive formed by polyester resin can also be selected.

[0025] The coating layer 2 in the present application is provided with pores that allow ink to penetrate. The coating layer 2 is composed of inorganic pigments. The setting of the pore structure avoids the unevenness of large pores in the coating layer 2, avoids damage to the high-precision nozzle when printing due to rubbing against raised paper wrinkles, and makes the quality of the transfer paper more stable.

[0026] Moreover, the thickness of the smooth layer 5 in the present application is 1% - 5% of the base paper 1, and the thickness of the smooth layer is 0.1 - 10 μm.

[0027] Working principle: The setting of the smoothing layer 5 enables the base paper 1 to have better smoothness during inkjet printing, avoiding damage to the high-precision nozzle when it rubs against the raised paper wrinkles during printing. The setting of the upper coating of the thermal sublimation layer greatly reduces the curling phenomenon during high-temperature transfer of the thermal transfer paper. Moreover, the setting of the reinforcing layer 6 with a higher hardness than that of the base paper increases the thickness and hardness of the thermal transfer paper, which can also greatly reduce the curling phenomenon, avoid image misalignment and deformation, and improve the quality of the thermal transfer paper.
