Abstract
Abstract An image-receiving sheet including a substrate sheet, an image-receiving layer and, as a detection mark, an opaque porous resin layer that becomes transparent upon heating, the opaque porous resin layer being formed by coating a resin varnish including a resin, a good solvent having a relatively low boiling point and a poor solvent having a relatively high boiling point on the image-receiving sheet and drying the resultant coating. Also disclosed is an image-receiving sheet including a substrate sheet and an image-receiving layer, the image-receiving layer being composed mainly of a polyester resin including an acid moiety and a diol moiety of a modified bisphenol A represented by the following general formula (I): <IMAGE> (I) wherein R represents an ethylene or propylene group and x and y are each an integer of 1 to 5, provided that the average of each of x and y is 1 to 3.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
123 words
An image-receiving sheet comprising: a substrate sheet having an upper surface and a lower surface; an image-receiving layer formed above said upper surface of said substrate sheet; and a detection mark formed above said image-receiving layer or below said lower surface of said substrate sheet, said detection mark comprising an opaque porous resin layer that becomes transparent upon heating, said opaque porous resin layer being formed by coating a resin varnish on said image-receiving sheet and drying the resultant coating, said resin varnish comprising a resin, a first solvent and a second solvent, wherein said first solvent has a lower boiling point than that of said second solvent and said resin is more soluble in said first solvent than in said second solvent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
123 words
An image-receiving sheet comprising: a substrate sheet having an upper surface and a lower surface; an image-receiving layer formed above said upper surface of said substrate sheet; and a detection mark formed above said image-receiving layer or below said lower surface of said substrate sheet, said detection mark comprising an opaque porous resin layer that becomes transparent upon heating, said opaque porous resin layer being formed by coating a resin varnish on said image-receiving sheet and drying the resultant coating, said resin varnish comprising a resin, a first solvent and a second solvent, wherein said first solvent has a lower boiling point than that of said second solvent and said resin is more soluble in said first solvent than in said second solvent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
The image-receiving sheet of claim 1, wherein said resin is selected from the group consisting of acrylic resin, polyester resin, vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate copolymer resin, and mixtures thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The image-receiving sheet of claim 1, wherein said second solvent is present in an amount of 10 to 70 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of said resin.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
The image-receiving sheet of claim 1, wherein said resin varnish further comprises a particulate lubricant.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
The image-receiving sheet of claim 1, wherein said opaque porous resin layer has an average pore diameter ranging from 0.05 to 2 μm.
