A thermal transfer dye image-receiving sheet capable of receiving clear, uniform colored images without a formation of curls and wrinkles therein, comprising (A) a substrate sheet composed of (a) core sheet having a Young's modulus E.sub.3, (b) a front coated thermoplastic film layer having a thickness T.sub.1 and a Young's modulus E.sub.1, and (c) a back coated thermoplastic film layer having a thickness T.sub.2 and a Young's modulus E.sub.2, the T.sub.1, T.sub.2, E.sub.1, E.sub.2 and E.sub.3 satisfying the following relationships (1) and (2):

Thermal transfer dye image-receiving sheet

A thermal transfer image-receiving sheet for a thermal transfer type printer comprises a sheet substrate, a front coating layer formed on the front surface of the sheet substrate and comprising a polyolefin resin, a polyolefin resin back coating layer formed on the back surface of the sheet substrate, and optionally, a surface coating layer formed on the front coating layer and comprising a resinous binder and a pigment.

Thermal transfer image-receiving sheet

A support sheet useful for a thermal transfer image receiving sheet having a high resistance to thermal curling and capable of recording clear and uniform images or pictures thereon, comprises a sheet substrate with a thickness of 20 to 300 .mu.m, and multilayer front and back surface coating plastic films each comprising a pigment and a polyolefin resin, each having at least one bi-axially oriented base layer, and bonded to the sheet substrate, and satisfies the following relationships:
