Abstract
Disclosed is an image-receiving sheet having better toner-fixing ability, an excellent image quality and high carriage quality in electrophotographic copying machines and printers. In an image-receiving sheet in which a layer containing a binder and a filler is formed on one surface of a substrate , the Beck smoothness of the containment layer is 2000 seconds or less and the haze of the image-receiving sheet is 5 to 15% to stabilize the carriage quality and to obtain a high quality image from OHP projectors. The containment layer is either one of a receptor layer for recording an image or a backface layer and in the image-receiving sheet, a layer having a Beck smoothness of 20000 seconds or less is formed on the surface opposite to the surface of the substrate on which the containment layer is formed, thereby further bettering the carriage quality. Moreover, resistance control layers are formed on an image-receiving surface and/or the outermost layer of the backface, or between the receptor layer and the substrate or between the backface and the substrate , thereby maintaining better antistatic ability and toner-fixing ability.
