Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0955183A2] Thermal transfer tape with a resin-bonded release layer containing a wax-soluble polymer and a wax-bonded layer of thermal transfer ink containing a narrow-cut wax with melting and solidification points close together plus less than 8 wt.% wax-soluble polymer. Thermal transfer tape with a conventional base, a wax-bonded layer (B) of thermal transfer ink on one side of the base and a resin-bonded release layer (A) between layer (B) and the base. Layer (A) (at least) contains a wax-soluble polymer, while layer (B) contains less than 8 (preferably 0-5) wt.% wax-soluble polymer together with a narrow-cut wax in which the melting and solidification points (Tm and Ts) are close together.
