Image-receiving sheet

Abstract

An image-receiving sheet for receiving a particle image electrostatically formed on a photoconductive surface and for fixing thereon a dye-image obtained by developing a sublimable dye former contained in the image particles. The sheet comprises a support member, color developing layer disposed on the support member and a dielectric layer disposed on the color developing layer. The color forming layer contains a developer material for developing the sublimable dye former. The dielectric layer exhibits in a low humidity range, a surface resistivity high enough to electrostatically retain the particle on the surface thereof and also exhibits adhesion high enough to adhesively retain the particles in high humidity range where the surface resistivity is below the required value for retaining the particles.
