Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a releasing member-integrated transfer sheet capable of improving both the conveyability on forming an image on a transfer layer and the transferability on transferring the transfer layer onto a transfer receiving article. A releasing member-integrated transfer sheet includes a releasing member including a first support and an adhesive layer provided on the first support, and a transfer sheet including a second support and a transfer layer provided on the second support, the transfer sheet being integrated with the releasing member such that the adhesive layer is opposed to the second support. The transfer layer is peelable from the second support, and the adhesive force between the second support and the adhesive layer is smaller than the adhesive force between the first support and the adhesive layer to thereby make the releasing member separable from the transfer sheet.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A releasing member-integrated transfer sheet comprising: a releasing member comprising a first support and a melt-extruded resin layer provided on the first support; and a transfer sheet comprising a second support and a transfer layer provided on the second support, the transfer sheet being integrated with the releasing member such that the melt-extruded resin layer is opposed to the second support, wherein the transfer layer is peelable from the second support, wherein an adhesive force between the second support and the melt-extruded resin layer is smaller than an adhesive force between the first support and the melt-extruded resin layer to thereby make the transfer sheet separable from the releasing member, and wherein one or both of a stiffness of the releasing member-integrated transfer sheet in a machine direction (MD) and that in a traverse direction (TD) are in a range of 5 mN or more to 25 nM or less, as measured by the Gurley method in accordance with JIS-L-1085 (1998). 2. A releasing member-integrated transfer sheet comprising: a releasing member comprising a first support and a melt-extruded resin layer provided on the first support; and a transfer sheet comprising a second support and a transfer layer provided on the second support, the transfer sheet being integrated with the releasing member such that the melt-extruded resin layer is opposed to the second support, wherein the transfer layer is peelable from the second support, wherein an adhesive force between the second support and the melt-extruded resin layer is smaller than an adhesive force between the first support and the melt-extruded resin layer to thereby make the transfer sheet separable from the releasing member, and wherein the melt-extruded resin layer has a thickness of 2.5 μm or more and 50 μm or less. 3. A releasing member-integrated transfer sheet comprising: a releasing member comprising a first support and an adhesive layer provided on the first support; and a transfer sheet comprising a second support and a transfer layer provided on the second support, the transfer sheet being integrated with the releasing member such that the adhesive layer is opposed to the second support, wherein the transfer layer is peelable from the second support, wherein an adhesive force between the second support and the adhesive layer is smaller than an adhesive force between the first support and the adhesive layer to thereby make the transfer sheet separable from the releasing member, and wherein one or both of a stiffness of the releasing member-integrated transfer sheet in a machine direction (MD) and that in a traverse direction (TD) are in a range of 5 mN or more to 25 mN or less, as measured by the Gurley method in accordance with JIS-L-1085 (1998).
