Abstract
The heat transfer sheet (10) of the present invention has an image-receiving layer (3) comprising a dye dyeable resin together with a dye layer (2) peelably formed on the surface of a substrate sheet (1), and therefore can form an image of high quality by the heat transfer system without restriction as to the kind of non-transfer material or the surface state.
Claims19
A method for heat transfer recording which performs printing by a heat transfer means on a laminate of a heat transfer sheet and a material to be recorded, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing a heat transfer sheet comprising a substrate sheet, an image-receiving layer peelably formed on a surface of said substrate sheet, said image-receiving layer comprising a dyeable resin and first having a cushion layer and then an adhesive layer formed in this order on the surface thereof, and a heat migratable dye layer formed on a plane on which said image-receiving layer is formed;
- bringing the heat-transfer sheet into contact with a material to be recorded;
- transferring said image-receiving layer together with said cushion layer and said adhesive layer onto a surface of the material to be recorded so that said image-receiving layer is formed on the surface of the material to be recorded through said cushion and adhesive layers;
- and
- carrying out printing on the thus transferred image-receiving layer.
