Abstract
A thermal transfer receiving sheet comprising a sheet-like support having sequentially formed on at least one surface thereof a hollow particle-containing intermediate layer and an image receiving layer, wherein the hollow particles have an average particle diameter of 0.2 to 35 μm and a hollow percentage by volume of 30 to 97% and the printing smoothness (Rp value) on the surface of the thermal transfer receiving sheet, as measured by using a Microtopograph under an applied pressure of 0.1 MPa 10 m-seconds after the initiation of pressure application, is 1.5 μm or less. A production method of the thermal transfer receiving sheet is also provided.
