Abstract
The thermal dye transfer method capable of printing beautiful photo-quality images in a simple and quick manner is attracting more and more attention as a digital photo output system because of its dry process, maintenance-free feature and the easiness of downsizing the printer system. We have been working on the various issues such as higher sensitivity, travel stability of the ink ribbon and improvement of photo quality functions, all of which are essential as a media for digital photo printers.Higher sensitivity of the dye transfer ribbon has been accomplished by increasing the dye transfer ratio, not by the increase of the amount of dye. Moreover, further improvement of heat resistant layer of the transfer film and travel stability of the ink ribbon as well as smaller amount of abrasion of the thermal head protection layer have contributed to enhance the system's maintenance free feature. Thus, by our efforts of getting better glossiness of print and also better color reproduction of neutral black, we have succeeded in developing a new thermal dye transfer media having a higher photo quality.
