Abstract
The present invention aims to provide a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet which does not suffer from any cockle problem, during printing, associated with a printer or a dye transfer film used. The thermal transfer image-receiving sheet comprises a substrate sheet and, provided on at least one surface thereof in the following order, an intermediate layer and a receptive layer, the intermediate layer containing either an acrylic polyol or cellulose acetate butyrate. Further, the present invention provides a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet which has a capability of preventing curling and causes no damage to an image-receiving surface even when image-receiving sheets put on top of each other or one another are used. This thermal transfer image-receiving sheet comprises a back surface layer provided on a substrate sheet in its surface where no image is to be formed, the back surface layer containing an acrylic polyol.
