Abstract
A thermal transfer sheet includes a substrate and a transfer layer, in which the transfer layer after transfer has a reduced peak height (Spk) of 0.6 μm or more. A method for producing a printed material using a thermal transfer sheet including a particle layer disposed on a substrate and an image-receiving sheet including a thermal protrusion-and/or-recess forming layer and a receiving layer stacked in that order on a second substrate, the receiving layer including an image that has been formed, includes the steps of heating the image-receiving sheet to form a protrusion and/or a recess at the image-receiving sheet, and heating the thermal transfer sheet to transfer the particle layer to at least part of the protrusion of the image-receiving sheet.
