Thermal transfer recording material

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To provide a thermal transfer recording material capable of providing a printed image having excellent fixability, fastness and thermal stability and comprising a coated surface substantially colorless, by using a thermal transfer recording paper wherein an alkyl gallate having a specified melting point is applied to a base together with a wax. CONSTITUTION:An alkyl gallate having a melting point of 80-160 deg.C, preferably, ethyl gallate, propyl gallate, isoamyl gallate, octyl gallate, lauryl gallate or stearly gallate, and a wax, e.g., paraffin wax or carnauba wax, are applied to a base such as a condenser paper to obtain a thermal transfer recording paper. On the other hand, an iron salt (e.g., iron stearate) is applied to a base to obtain an image-receiving paper. The objective recording material is obtained by combining the thermal transfer recording paper with the image-receiving paper.
