(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] To provide a thermal transfer ink having excellent solubility in solvent, drying property, ink stability, coating property, and printability. In a thermal transfer ink comprising a colorant and a heat-fusible vehicle containing a wax component, a linear aliphatic primary monoalcohol having 10 to 22 carbon atoms and an aliphatic polyhydric alcohol An alcohol mixture containing 50 mol% and tolylene diisocyanate were mixed with NC The wax-like substance obtained by the reaction at an O / OH ratio (molar ratio) of 0.8 to 1.0 is 15% by weight of the wax component. A thermal transfer ink containing the above. |
