Patent number: 6703088Abstract: The present invention provides a thermal transfer sheet, which comprises a substrate film and a metallic layer disposed on one side of the substrate film, the metallic layer being comprising leaf-shaped aluminum powder. The preferable leaf-shaped aluminum powder is obtainable via a process in which an aluminum film is formed by a vapor deposition on a peelability facilitating surface of a carrier sheet, the aluminum film is peeled off the carrier sheet and finely divided. Using the thermal transfer sheet, it is possible to produce a printed product having a high metallic luster and hiding property and excellent in qualities including design, appearance or decoration. Furthermore, it is not expensive to produce the thermal transfer sheet of the present invention.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2001Date of Patent: March 9, 2004Assignee: Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masafumi Hayashi, Nobuho Ikeuchi, Daigo Morizumi

Patent number: 6534154Abstract: Disclosed is an image-receiving sheet having better toner-fixing ability, an excellent image quality and high carriage quality in electrophotographic copying machines and printers. In an image-receiving sheet in which a layer containing a binder and a filler is formed on one surface of a substrate 1, the Beck smoothness of the containment layer is 2000 seconds or less and the haze of the image-receiving sheet is 5 to 15% to stabilize the carriage quality and to obtain a high quality image from OHP projectors. The containment layer is either one of a receptor layer 2 for recording an image or a backface layer 3 and in the image-receiving sheet, a layer having a Beck smoothness of 20000 seconds or less is formed on the surface opposite to the surface of the substrate 1 on which the containment layer is formed, thereby further bettering the carriage quality.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1999Date of Patent: March 18, 2003Assignee: Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masafumi Hayashi, Nobuho Ikeuchi
