A releasing member-integrated transfer sheet includes a releasing member including a first support and an adhesive layer provided on the first support, and a transfer sheet including a second support and a transfer layer provided on the second support, the transfer sheet being integrated with the releasing member such that the adhesive layer is opposed to the second support. The transfer layer is peelable from the second support, and the adhesive force between the second support and the adhesive layer is smaller than the adhesive force between the first support and the adhesive layer to thereby make the releasing member separable from the transfer sheet. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A releasing member-integrated transfer sheet comprising: a releasing member comprising a first support, and a peeling layer, comprising a resin layer, provided on the first support via a primer layer; and a transfer sheet comprising a second support, and a transfer layer, comprising a receiving layer, provided on the second support via a protective layer, wherein the transfer sheet is integrated with respect to the releasing member so that the peeling layer is opposed to the second support, wherein the transfer layer is peelable from the second support, and wherein an adhesive force between the second support and peeling layer is smaller than an adhesive force between the first support and the peeling layer so that the transfer sheet is separable from the releasing member. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The releasing member-integrated transfer sheet according to claim 1, wherein one or both of a stiffness of the releasing member-integrated transfer sheet in a machine direction (MD) and that in a traverse direction (TD) are in a range of 5 mN or more to 25 mN or less, as measured by the Gurley method in accordance with JIS-L-1085 (1998). ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The releasing member-integrated transfer sheet according to claim 1, wherein the resin layer has a thickness in a range of 2.5 μm or more and 50 μm. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The releasing member-integrated transfer sheet according to claim 1, wherein the receiving layer of the transfer layer comprises an image forming layer. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The releasing member-integrated transfer sheet according to claim 1, wherein the resin layer defining the peeling layer comprises at least one polyolefin resin. ### Claim 6 A releasing member-integrated transfer sheet comprising: a releasing member comprising a first support; and a transfer sheet comprising a transfer layer comprising an image forming layer provided on a second support, wherein the transfer layer comprises an image forming layer, wherein the transfer layer is peelable from the second support, wherein the first support is separated from the second support via at least one resin layer, and wherein an adhesive force between the second support and the resin layer is smaller than an adhesive force between the first support and the resin layer so that the transfer sheet is separable from the releasing member.
