Abstract
An image-receiving sheet comprising a base sheet and a receiving layer, provided on one surface of said base sheet, for receiving a dye or a pigment migrating from a heat transfer sheet, said base sheet comprising one or two or more layers, at least one layer of said base sheet having a porous structure or a foamed structure.
Claims29
An image-receiving sheet for use in thermal transfer recording, comprising:
- a base sheet having a foamed film formed on at least one surface thereof and a non-foamed film formed on said foamed film, said foamed film being obtained by stretching a thermoplastic resin film containing at least one of inorganic and organic fine particles;
- and
- a dye-receiving layer formed on said non-foamed film.
A process for forming an image, comprising:
- providing an image-receiving sheet comprising:
- a base sheet having a foamed film formed on at least one surface thereof and a non-foamed film formed on said foamed film, said foamed film being obtainable by stretching a thermoplastic resin film containing at least one of inorganic and organic fine particles;
- and a dye-receiving layer formed on said non-foamed film;
- thermally transfer recording an image on the dye-receiving layer of the image-receiving sheet;
- superposing the dye-receiving layer and a material to be transferred;
- pressing the thus superposed body to adhere the dye-receiving layer onto the material to be transferred;
- and
- peeling off the foamed film from the superposed body to obtain the material having a thermally transferred image.
