Abstract

Abstract The dye transfer type thermal printing sheet of the present invention comprises (a) a substrate, and (b) a lamina comprising a dye and either a cured product of a moisture curing type resin or a reaction-cured product of a moisture curing type resin and a reactive silicone oil, on at least one side of the substrate. According to the present invention, a surface release property and surface lubricity can easily be imparted to the color material layer or to the surface layer. Further, since no crosslinking agent is required to cure the resin, curing at low temperature becomes possible. The dye transfer type thermal printing sheet of the present invention can provide a printing sheet useful for high speed recording and/or relative speed recording.
