The invention belongs to the technical field of
thermal printing, and particularly relates to a photosensitive tape, a photosensitive
thermal transfer ribbon and application thereof. By adding the photosensitive resin, the photosensitive resin can react with the
photosensitizer after
exposure to form a cross-linking
system, so that the transferred photosensitive layer has good stability and
solvent resistance, and the service life of silk screen plate making in a
solvent type ink
system is ensured to the greatest extent; by combining a cross-linking
system and an auxiliary material (
wax or non-photosensitive resin),
transfer printing of a photosensitive layer in a
thermal printing mode is realized. The method is applied to silk screen plate making, the plate making process is optimized, the
overall efficiency is improved, the defects that a traditional photo-sensitive
resist plate making process is complex, consumed time is long, and the environment is polluted are overcome, and silk screen plate making high in adaptability to a
solvent type ink system and high in stability is obtained while the efficiency is improved. According to the photosensitive
thermal transfer ribbon provided by the invention, efficient
transfer printing of the photosensitive layer is realized, and a pattern obtained after
ultraviolet exposure has excellent solvent friction resistance and solarization resistance.
