Patent ID: 7776413

Claim:
A melt thermal transfer recording paper comprising: a stretched resin film stretched in at least one direction, wherein the stretched resin film contains from 30 to 75% by weight of at least one of an inorganic fine powder and an organic filler and from 25 to 70% by weight in total of a thermoplastic resin having a Vicat softening point, as measured according to JIS-K-7206-1999, of not higher than 140° C., and a polyolefin-based resin having a Vicat softening point, as measured according to JIS-K-7206-1999, of higher than 140° C.; the stretched resin film contains from 326 parts by weight to 532 parts by weight of the thermoplastic resin relative to 100 parts by weight of the polyolefin-based resin; when a barcode is printed on the surface of the stretched resin film with a meltable wax ink ribbon, by the use of a melt thermal transfer recording device at a temperature of 110° C. and at a printing speed of 3 inches/sec, and when the surface of the printed barcode is rubbed 50 times with a white cotton cloth absorbing ethanol, according to JIS-L-0849-1996, then the condition of the thus-rubbed barcode is on a level of A to C in ANSI GRADE.
