Abstract

A transfer material, a printed material, and a manufacturing apparatus and a manufacturing method for the printed material are provided in which water resistance of the printed material can be enhanced. A protective sheet allows moisture in a color material receiving layer to be discharged to the outside through passages through which the moisture can be discharged.

Claims (26)

1 . A transfer material in which a substrate sheet, a protective sheet, and a color material receiving layer are laminated,

wherein the protective sheet includes passages through which moisture in the color material receiving layer is enabled to be discharged to an outside.

2 . The transfer material according to claim 1 , wherein the passages are formed of pores resulting from piercing.

3 . The transfer material according to claim 1 , wherein the pores have an average diameter of 0.001 to 0.8000 μm.

4 . The transfer material according to claim 1 , wherein the protective sheet contains a component forming a plurality of gaps, and

the passages are formed by continuation of the plurality of gaps with one another.

5 . The transfer material according to claim 1 , wherein the passages are formed of swelling resin contained in the protective sheet.

6 . The transfer material according to claim 5 , wherein a content of the swelling resin is 0.05wt % or more and 2.0wt % or less.

7 . The transfer material according to claim 5 , wherein the swelling resin is polyvinyl alcohol.

8 . The transfer material according to claim 1 , wherein the protective sheet has a humidity permeability of 5 g/m 2 ·h or more.

9 . The transfer material according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio (A/B) of a thickness of the protective sheet A to a thickness of the color material receiving layer B falls within a range indicated by:

0.07≦( A/B )≦3.00

10 . The transfer material according to claim 1 , wherein the protective sheet is formed to contain an acrylic-based resin and/or a urethane-based resin as a main component.

11 . The transfer material according to claim 1 , wherein the color material receiving layer contains water-soluble resin.

12 . A printed material in which an image substrate, a color material receiving layer with an image printed thereon, and a protective sheet are laminated,

wherein the protective sheet includes passages through which moisture in the color material receiving layer is enabled to be discharged to an outside.

13 . The printed material according to claim 12 , wherein the color material receiving layer and the protective sheet have been transferred from the transfer material according to claim 1 to the printed material.

14 . A manufacturing method for a printed material in which an image substrate, a color material receiving layer with an image printed thereon, and a protective sheet are laminated, the manufacturing method comprising:

a step 1 of printing an image in the color material receiving layer of the transfer material according to claim 1 by ink jet printing;

a step 2 of thermocompression-bonding the color material receiving layer of the transfer material to the image substrate; and

a step 3 of peeling the substrate sheet off from the transfer material.

15 . A manufacturing method for a printed material in which an image substrate, a color material receiving layer with an image printed thereon, and a protective sheet are laminated, the manufacturing method comprising:

a step 1 of printing, by ink jet printing, an image in the color material receiving layer of the transfer material in which the substrate sheet, the protective sheet, and the color material receiving layer are laminated;

a step 2 of thermocompression-bonding the color material receiving layer of the transfer material to the image substrate;

a step 3 of peeling the substrate sheet off from the transfer material; and

a step 4 of, before or after one of the steps 1 to 3, piercing pores in the protective sheet to form passages through which moisture in the color material receiving layer is enabled to be discharged to an outside.
