Abstract:
A method of fabricating a flexible magnetic recording medium, comprising the steps of:stacking a magnetic layer on a non-magnetic layer on a substrate to form a stacked body, by coating a first coating solution on said substrate to form said non-magnetic layer, said first coating solution comprising a first lubricant, non-magnetic powder, and a binder, the amount of said first lubricant in said first coating solution being in a range of 1 to 20 wt %, based on the weight of non-magnetic powder, said first lubricant being a liquid at a temperature at which magnetic transfer is performed, and by coating a second coating solution to form said magnetic layer, said second coating solution comprising a second lubricant, magnetic powder, and a binder, the amount of said second lubricant being Â¼ or less the amount of said first lubricant, said second lubricant being a liquid at said temperature; bringing a master carrier, which has a land/groove pattern corresponding to data to be transferred, into intimate contact with said stacked body to transfer said data to said stacked body; and treating said stacked body with heat.
