Abstract
A light-transmitting recording material for electrophotography has a light-transmitting base material, a conductive undercoat layer formed on the light-transmitting base material, and a light-transmitting toner acceptable layer formed on the conductive undercoat layer. The surface resistivity of the conductive undercoat layer ranges from 1.times.10.sup.7 .OMEGA. to 1.times.10.sup.10 .OMEGA. at 20.degree. C. and 60% relative humidity. The conductive undercoat layer contains a metallic conductive or semiconductive material, and the light-transmitting toner acceptable layer includes a wax as a releasing agent and a thermoplastic resin. Also, a heat fixing method is provided in which a toner image is formed and heat-fixed on the above-mentioned light-transmitting recording material.
