An image-receiving sheet for thermal transfer printing comprising a substrate and an image-receiving layer disposed on said substrate, characterized in that said image-receiving layer contains thermoplastic resin fine particle aggregates. And an image-receiving sheet comprising a substrate, an intermediate layer disposed on said substrate, and an image-receiving layer disposed on said intermediate layer, characterized in that at least said intermediate layer contains thermoplastic resin fine particle aggregates.

Image-receiving sheet for thermal transfer printing with a layer

An image-receiving sheet for thermal dye-transfer recording comprising a substrate and an image-receiving layer disposed on said substrate, said image-receiving layer being capable of receiving an image to be transferred from a coloring material-transferring sheet, characterized in that said image-receiving layer is formed of a coating composition comprising an aqueous solution or a water dispersion of a resin having a dyeing property, a carboxy-modified silicone compound, and a multi-functional aziridine derivative.

Image-receiving sheet for thermal dye-transfer recording

An image-receiving sheet for thermal transfer printing comprising a substrate, an intermediate layer and an image-receiving layer, said intermediate layer and said image-receiving layer being disposed in this order on said substrate, characterized in that said intermediate layer comprises a layer containing (a) fine particles of one or more kinds of resins selected from the group consisting of thermosetting resins and other resins having a softening point of higher than 150.degree. C. and (b) fine particles of a polyolefin resin as the main constituents and the amount of said fine particles (a) contained in the intermediate layer is in the range of from 5 to 90% by weight. The image-receiving sheet excells in the whiteness and opacity and exhibits an excellent recording sensitivity. The image-receiving sheet provides high quality images accompanied with no missing dot when used in a thermal transfer printing system wherein a thermally sublimable dye is utilized.

Image-receiving sheet for thermal transfer printing with an intermediate

An image-receiving sheet for thermal transfer printing comprising on a substrate an intermediate layer made primarily of a resin insoluble in organic solvents, and an image-receiving layer made primarily of a resin soluble in organic solvents and formed on the intermediate layer. This type of sheet is significantly improved in smoothness and blocking properties, enabling one to obtain print images of a very high quality, by thermal transfer printing, which are substantially free from the known problem relating to a missing transfer portion and which are high in the optical density for images as printed.
