Thermal transfer image-receiving sheet

Abstract

It is an object of the present invention to provide a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet which solves the defects of the prior art, that is, exhibits a good slipping property between the thermal transfer image-receiving sheets in forming images and can completely prevent feeding troubles such as multi feeding particularly in a thermal transfer printer in a low temperature environment. The present invention pertains to a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet in which a receiving layer is formed on at least one side of a substrate sheet, wherein the receiving layer is formed by applying and drying a coating solution comprising a binder resin, a release agent, and a lubricant in an amount of 0.05 to 5 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the binder resin and said lubricant is a main-chain single-end or a main-chain dual-end modified silicone oil having a viscosity of 50 to 500 mm2/s at 25° C.
