Description

The present invention relates to a novel process for transferring azo dyes having a diaminopyridine-based coupling component from a substrate to a plastic-coated paper with the aid of a thermal printing head.
In thermotransfer printing processes, a transfer sheet which contains a thermally transferable dye in one or more binders with or without suitable assistants on a substrate is heated from the back with a thermal printing head in short heat pulses (duration: fractions of a second), as a result of which the dye migrates out of the transfer sheet and diffuses into the surface coating of a receiving medium. The essential advantage of this process is that control of the amount of dye to be transferred (and hence of the color gradation) is easily possible by adjusting the energy to be supplied to the thermal printing head.
In general, color recording is carried out using the three subtractive primaries yellow, magenta and cyan (and in certain cases black). To facilitate optimal color recording, the dyes must have the following properties:
(i) ready thermal transferability,
(ii) low migration tendency within or on the surface coating of the receiving medium at room temperature,
(iii) high thermal and photochemical stability and resistance to moisture and chemical substances,
(iv) suitable hues for subtractive color mixing,
(v) a high molar adsorption coefficient,
(vi) resistance to crystallization in the course of storage of the transfer sheet and
(vii) ready industrial accessibility.
These requirements are from experience very difficult to meet at one and the same time.
For this reason most of the known cyan dyes used for thermal transfer printing do not meet the required range of properties.
There is prior art concerning dyes used in thermotransfer printing processes. For instance, EP-A-216,483 and EP-A-258,856 describe azo dyes from thiophene-based diazo components and aniline-based coupling components.
Furthermore, EP-A-218,397 describes thiophene- and aniline-based disazo dyes for this purpose.
JP-A-30,392/1985 teaches the use of azo dyes which have a diazo component based on 5-aminothia-2,4-diazole and a coupling component based on aniline.
Finally, JP-A-227,092/1986 discloses the used of azo dyes whose diazo and coupling components come from the aniline series.





It is an object of the present invention to provide a process for the transfer of dyes where the dyes should ideally meet all the abovementioned requirements (i) to (vii).
We have found that this object is achieved in an advantageous manner by transferring azo dyes from a substrate to a plastic-coated paper by diffusion with the aid of a thermal printing head on using a substrate on which there are one or more azo dyes of the formula I ##STR2## where
R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are identical or different and each is independently of the others alkyl, alkoxyalkyl, alkanoyloxyalkyl, alkoxycarbonyloxyalkyl or alkoxycarbonylalkyl, which each may have up to 20 carbon atoms and be substituted by phenyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkylphenyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxyphenyl, halophenyl, benzyloxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkylbenzyloxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxybenzyloxy, halobenzyloxy, halogen, hydroxyl or cyano, or are each hydrogen, unsubstituted or C.sub.1 -C.sub.15 -alkyl-, C.sub.1 -C.sub.15 -alkoxy-, halogen- or benzyloxy-substituted phenyl, unsubstituted or C.sub.1 -C.sub.15 -alkyl-, C.sub.1 -C.sub.15 -alkoxy, halo- gen- or benzyloxy-substituted cyclohexyl or a radical of the formula II

Particularly favorable results are further obtained on using a substrate on which there are one or more azo dyes of the formula I where the radical D is derived from a diazo component conforming to the formula V ##STR7## where R.sup.7 is as defined above.
The dyes of the formula I are known per se or can be obtained by methods known per se.
Compared with the dyes used in existing processes, the dyes transferred in the process according to the invention are notable in general for improved migration properties in the receiving medium at room temperature, more ready thermal transferability, higher photochemical stability, easier industrial accessibility, better resistance to moisture and chemical substances, higher color strength, better solubility, higher purity of hue and in particular by substantially higher light fastness.
It is further surprising that the dyes of the formula I are readily transferable despite their relatively high molecular weight.
To prepare the dye substrate required for the novel process, the dyes are incorporated in a suitable organic solvent, for example chlorobenzene, isobutanol, methyl ethyl ketone, methylene chloride, toluene, tetrahydrofuran or a mixture thereof, with one or more binders with or without assistants to give a printing ink. This ink preferably contains the dye in a molecularly dispersed, ie. dissolved, form. The printing ink is applied to the inert substrate by knife coating and dried in air. Suitable binders are all resins or polymer materials which are soluble in organic solvents and are capable of holding the dye on the inert substrate in an abrasion-resistant bond. Preference is given to binders which, after the printing ink has dried in air, hold the dye in a clear, transparent film without visible crystallization of the dye.
Examples of such binders are cellulose derivatives, for example methylcellulose, ethylcellulose, ethylhydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, cellulose acetate or cellulose acetobutyrate, starch, alginates, alkyd resins, vinyl resins, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl butyrate or polyvinylpyrrolidones. Other possibilities as binders are polymers and copolymers of acrylates or derivatives thereof, such as polyacrylic acid, polymethyl methacrylate or styrene/acrylate copolymers, polyester resins, polyamide resins, polyurethane resins or natural CH resins, such as gum arabic. Further suitable binders are described in DE-A-3,524,519.
Preferred binders are ethylcellulose and ethylhydroxyethylcellulose.
The ratio of binder to dye preferably varies from 5:1 to 1:1.
Possible assistants are release agents as described in EP-A-227,092, EP-A-192,435 and the patent applications cited therein and also particularly organic additives which stop the transfer dye from crystallizing in the course of storage or heating of the inked ribbon, for example cholesterol or vanillin.
Inert substrates are for example tissue, blotting or parchment paper or plastics films of high heat stability, for example uncoated or metal-coated polyester, polyamide or polyimide. The inert substrate may additionally be coated on the side facing the thermal printing head with a lubricant, or slipping, layer in order to prevent adhesion of the thermal printing head to the substrate material. Suitable lubricants are described for example in EP-A-216,483 and EP-A-277,095. The thickness of the dye substrate is in general from 3 to 30 .mu.m, preferably from 5 to 10 .mu.m.
Suitable dye receiver layers are basically all temperature stable plastics layers having an affinity for the dyes to be transferred whose glass transition temperature should- preferably be in the temperature range 50.degree. C. <Tg <100.degree. C. Examples are modified polycarbonates or polyesters. Suitable recipes for the receiver layer composition are described in detail for example in EP-A-227,094, EP-A-133,012, EP-A-133,011, EP-A-111,004, JP-A-199,997/1986, JP-A-283,595/1986, JP-A-237,694/1986 and JP-A-127,392/1986.
Transfer is effected by means of a thermal printing head which must be heatable to a temperature .gtoreq.300.degree. C. for the dye transfer to take place within the time interval t: 0 <t <15 msec. On heating, the dye migrates out of the transfer sheet and diffuses into the surface coating of the receiving medium.
Details of the preparation may be found in the Examples, where percentages are by weight, unless otherwise stated.
Transfer of dyes
To be able to test the transfer characteristics of the dyes in a quantitative and simple manner, the thermotransfer was carried out with large hotplates instead of a thermal printing head, with the transfer temperature being varied within the range 70.degree. C. <T <120.degree. C. and the transfer time being set at 2 minutes.
(A) General recipe for coating the substrate with dye:
X g of binder are dissolved at from 40.degree. to 50.degree. C. in 8 ml of 8:2 v/v toluene/ethanol. A solution of 0.25 g of dye (and any cholesterol as assistant) in 5 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added by stirring. The print paste thus obtained was smoothed down with an 80 .mu.m knife on a sheet of polyester film (thickness: 6-10 .mu.m) and dried with a hair dryer. (The weight ratio of dye:binder:assistant, from which the absolute amount of binder and assistant can be derived, is given for each case in the tables.)
(B) Testing of thermal transferability
The dyes used were tested in the following manner:
The polyester sheet donor containing the dye under test on the coated front was placed face down on commercial Hitachi Color Video Print Paper (receiver) and pressed down. Donor/receiver were then wrapped in aluminum foil and heated between two hotplates at different temperatures T (within the temperature range 70.degree. C. <T <120.degree. C.). The amount of dye diffusing into the bright plastics layer of the receiver is proportional to the optical density (=absorbance A). The latter was determined photometrically. If the logarithm of the absorbance A of the colored receiver papers measured within the temperature range from 80.degree.to 110.degree. C. is plotted against the corresponding reciprocal absolute-temperature, the result is a straight line whose slope gives the activation energy .DELTA.E.sub.T for the transfer experiment: ##EQU1##
To complete the characterization, the plots additionally reveal the temperature T*[.degree. C.] at which the absorbance A of the dyed receiver papers attains the value 2.
The dyes mentioned in the Tables below were processed according to (A), and the resulting dye-coated substrates were tested in respect of their transfer characteristics by (B). The Tables list in each case the thermotransfer parameters T* and .DELTA.E.sub.T, the absorption maximum of the dyes .lambda..sub.max (measured in methylene chloride), the binders used and the weight ratio of dye: binder:assistant.
The abbreviations have the following meanings: B =binder (EC=ethylcellulose, EHEC=ethylhydroxyethylcellulose, ethylcellulose, AC =cellulose acetobutyrate, MIX mixture of polyvinyl butyrate and ethylcellulose in a weight ratio of 2:1)
D =dye
