A recording sheet for thermal dye-transfer type recording method, having a coating layer which is placed on a substrate, is contacted with a coloring material layer containing sublimable dye and on which the dye is transferred by heating. The coating layer includes as a pigment precipitated calcium carbonate of at least 25,000 cm.sup.2 /g specific-surface-area and as a binder saturated polyester or a mixture of saturated polyester with polyvinyl pyrrolidone. The sheet provides a clear record with superior color density.

Thermal dye-transfer type recording sheet

A recording sheet for thermal dye-transfer type recording having a coating layer which is placed on a substrate, which is contacted with a coloring material layer containing sublimable dye and on which the sublimable dye is transferred by heating, wherein the coating layer includes an aminoalkyd resin, whereby the recording sheet provides a record with superior color density and causes no heat-adhesion between the recording sheet and a thermal transfer substrate.
