Claim 10
Dependent Claim
31 words
A heat transfer sheet according to claim 1, wherein said ink comprises a plurality of superposed layers of different colors which have been applied onto the base sheet in laminated state.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
39 words
A heat transfer sheet according to claim 1, wherein an antisticking layer is applied onto the surface of the base sheet on the side where no ink layer has been applied, i.e., the side contacted by the thermal head.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
31 words
A heat transfer sheet according to claim 1, wherein an over printing layer is provided between the base sheet and the ink layer or on the surface of the ink layer.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
16 words
A heat transfer sheet according to claim 10, wherein said antisticking layer contains an antistatic agent.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
16 words
A heat transfer sheet according to claim 1, wherein said ink layer contains an antistatic agent.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
22 words
A heat transfer sheet according to claim 1, wherein a matte layer is interposed between the base sheet and the ink layer.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
23 words
