Abstract
A thermal dye-transfer recording, image-receiving sheet, comprising a support having thereon an image-receiving layer containing a butyral resin for receiving a transferred image from a coloring material-transferring sheet, is disclosed. In this image-receiving sheet, sharp recorded images can be obtained, and the images exhibit excellent storage stability and abrasion resistance.
Claims20
A recording system comprising:
- a. a coloring material-transferring sheet containing a heat-sublimable dye;
- and
- b. a thermal dye-transfer recording, a heat-sublimable dye-receiving sheet comprising a support having thereon a heat-sublimable dye-receiving layer containing a butyral resin for receiving heat-sublimable dye from the coloring material-transferring sheet.
A method for obtaining a thermal dye-transferred recorded image comprising the steps of:
- a. superimposing (1) a coloring material-transferring sheet, comprising a substrate having coated thereon a coloring material, over (2) a thermal dye-transfer recording, heat-sublimable dye-receiving sheet, comprising a support having thereon a heat-sublimable dye-receiving layer containing a butyral resin, in such a manner that the coloring material coated on the substrate comes into contact with the heat-sublimable dye-receiving layer;
- and
- b. heating the substrate of the coloring material transferring sheet to selectively transfer at least a portion of the coloring material to the heat-sublimable dye-receiving layer.
