Abstract

Four layer resistive ribbon transfer tapes for use in electrothermic printing devices are fabricated. The tapes are comprised of a substrate having a heat transferable ink on one of its surfaces, and on its opposing surface there is disposed a metal layer. Bonded to the metal layer is a resistive layer. This resistive layer is caused to be bonded to the metal layer by a layer of an alkoxysilane compound therebetween.
