Abstract
Abstract The dye receiving sheet for preparation of a transparency according to the present invention is a sheet to be used in combination with a heat transfer sheet having a dye layer formed thereon and includes (2) a transparent substrate, (3) a transparent receiving layer provided on the transparent substrate for receiving the dye migrating from the heat transfer sheet corresponding to the energy applied from a thermal head and (5) an optically detectable layer provided on at least a part of the heat transferable sheet. By the provision of the optically detectable layer (5), improvement of running performance, operability within a heat-sensitive device as well as image density and sensitivity during printing can be attained, and also a detection mark can be freely added, whereby operability of the dye receiving sheet can be further improved.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
114 words
A dye receiving sheet for preparation of a transparency, said sheet being used in combination with a heat transfer sheet having a dye layer formed thereon, said dye receiving sheet comprising: a transparent substrate having opposed surfaces; a transparent receiving layer provided on a first opposed surface of said transparent substrate for receiving dye migrating from said heat transfer sheet corresponding to energy applied thereto from a thermal head; an optically detectable support layer formed on an entire second opposed surface of said transparent substrate; and a tackifier layer interposed between said optically detectable support layer and said transparent substrate, such that said optically detectable support layer is freely peelable from said transparent substrate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
114 words
A dye receiving sheet for preparation of a transparency, said sheet being used in combination with a heat transfer sheet having a dye layer formed thereon, said dye receiving sheet comprising: a transparent substrate having opposed surfaces; a transparent receiving layer provided on a first opposed surface of said transparent substrate for receiving dye migrating from said heat transfer sheet corresponding to energy applied thereto from a thermal head; an optically detectable support layer formed on an entire second opposed surface of said transparent substrate; and a tackifier layer interposed between said optically detectable support layer and said transparent substrate, such that said optically detectable support layer is freely peelable from said transparent substrate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
