Patent ID: 8268415

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 more than 100 parts by weight and at most 700 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.
