| abstract |
The present invention relates to a thermal transfer article comprising a carrier, optionally a release layer, a color layer releasably bonded thereon, and optionally an adhesive layer on the bottom surface of the color layer. The invention also relates to a thermal transfer method using the article and to a label produced by such a method. The transfer article of the present invention 1) exhibits thermoplastic and low cohesive properties in the process of being transferred, so that excellent phase resolution and transfer can be obtained, and 2) thermally crosslinked to form a durable phase. |
