Abstract
The present invention relates to an image-receiving sheet used in combination with a heat transfer sheet having a dye layer containing a dye which is melted or sublimated by heating and passed onto said image-receiving sheet, characterized in that a sheet-like substrate (11) includes on its surface a dye-receiving layer (12) for receiving a dye coming from said heat transfer sheet, said dye-receiving layer (12) comprising a copolymer obtained by the copolymerization of (i) vinyl chloride, (ii) an acrylic acid type monomer and (iii) a linear polymer having a vinyl group at an end. The present sheet of such a structure as mentioned above is improved in terms of dyeability and weather-resistance-after-printing, and excels particularly in the storability of printed images.
