Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0316674A2] A thermally-sensitive ink ribbon, in particular a thermally- sensitive carbon ribbon, with a conventional carrier and on one side of the carrier a layer of fusible ink, where between the layer of fusible ink and the carrier there is a second layer consisting of an organic substance which does not melt during the thermal printing operation but which during the thermal printing operation adheres more strongly to the carrier than to the molten fusible ink. This thermally-sensitive ink ribbon results in markedly reduced relative gloss values for the printed symbols or letters so that there is less strain on the eye of the observer. The relative gloss values are measurable by known reflectometers. <IMAGE>
