Abstract
A heat transfer printing sheet for producing images having metallic luster, obtained by successively providing, at least on one surface of a substrate sheet, a transparent coloring layer comprising a coloring agent and a hot-melt binder, and a metallic ink layer comprising a metallic pigment and a hot-melt binder. This printing sheet can be obtained without using a specific apparatus such as a sputtering apparatus, does not require an adhesive layer, and can produce a highly-bright colored image having metallic luster.
