To provide a coating liquid for release layer with which a release layer having a small variation in the performance difference can be stably formed, to provide a method for producing a thermal transfer sheet using this coating liquid for release layer, and to provide a thermal transfer sheet having stable releasability. A thermal transfer sheet having a substrate, a release layerprovided on the substrate, and a transfer layerprovided on the release layer, wherein the transfer layeris provided peelably from the release layer, and the release layercontains a silsesquioxane.

There is provided a thermal transfer sheet having satisfactory peelability when a transfer layer is peeled off without being affected by a peeling environment when the transfer layer is peeled off. A thermal transfer sheetincludes a substrateand a transfer layerprovided on one surface of the substrate, in which the peeling force in a stable period is in the range of 4.6 g/cm or more and 23 g/cm or less when the transfer layeris peeled off at a peeling temperature in the range of 30&#xb0; C. or more and 70&#xb0; C. or less and at a peeling angle of 90&#xb0; while the surface of the transfer layeron the side opposite to the substrateis made to serve as a peeling interface.

Thermal transfer sheet

An object is to provide a transfer film that can impart sufficient durability such as abrasion resistance and solvent resistance to a transfer object surface and has high transfer property without causing any transfer failures such as tailing and burr. The transfer film according to the present invention comprises a substrate and a protective layer peelably provided on the substrate, wherein the protective layer comprises an active ray-cured resin and a filler; wherein the active ray-cured resin contains polyfunctional urethane (meth)acrylate as a polymerization component; and wherein the filler has a volume average particle size of 40 nm or less.

Transfer film

The present invention provides a transfer film that allows a transfer layer to have satisfactory transferability and can provide a print with high durability. The present invention solves the above problem by a transfer filmin which an adhesion layer, a release layer, and a transfer layerare provided in this order on a substrate, wherein the transfer layerhas a layered structure in which a protective layerand an adhesive layerare layered in this order from the side of the substrate, the protective layeris allowed to contain an active ray-cured resin formed by curing an active ray-curable resin by an active ray, and the adhesion layeris allowed to contain a cured binder resin which is a cured product of a binder resin and a curing agent.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a thermal transfer sheet which can prevent a kick and a scumming, and can form a photographic tone color image of high quality with a continuous tone image by sublimation transfer, while expanding the range of choices for colorants to be included in a colorant layer; a coating liquid for colorant layer to be used for forming the colorant layer of this thermal transfer sheet; a method for manufacturing this thermal transfer sheet; and image forming method employing this thermal transfer sheet. The problem is solved by a thermal transfer sheet () in which at least a colorant layer () is layered on a substrate sheet (), wherein the colorant layer () contains a predetermined solvent, a colorant () dispersible in the predetermined solvent, a dispersant, and a binder resin, and the dispersant being one or more selected from the group consisting of polyether-based dispersants, graft type polymer dispersants, acryl-based block type polymer dispersants, urethane-based polymer dispersants and azo-based dispersants.
