Abstract

Abstract Disclosed is a thermal transfer image receiving sheet comprising a substrate sheet, an intermediate layer provided on at least one surface side of the substrate sheet and a dye receptor layer provided on the surface of the intermediate layer, wherein the substrate sheet is a pulp paper, the intermediate layer is formed from an organic solvent solution of a resin, and the dye receptor layer is formed from an aqueous resin liquid. By virtue of this structure, the thermal transfer image receiving sheet can be prevented from occurrence of curling caused by temperature change. Also disclosed is a thermal transfer image receiving sheet comprising a substrate sheet, an intermediate layer provided on at least one surface side of the substrate sheet and a dye receptor layer provided on the surface of the intermediate layer, wherein the intermediate layer is formed from either an acrylic resin or a resin at least a part of which is crosslinked. By virtue of this structure, the thermal transfer image receiving sheet can be excellent in smoothness, strength, cushioning properties and writing properties, and further can give an image of high density and high resolution.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 143 words
A thermal transfer image receiving sheet comprising a substrate sheet, an intermediate layer provided on at least one surface side of the substrate sheet and a dye receptor layer provided on the surface of the intermediate layer; said thermal transfer image receiving sheet being produced by the process comprising the steps of: bonding a receptor layer transfer film, which comprises a substrate film other than said substrate sheet, the dye receptor layer provided on said substrate film and the intermediate layer of a resin having a glass transition temperature in the range of -80° to 20° C. provided on said dye receptor layer, to the substrate sheet formed of a pulp paper without carrying out a heating process while facing the intermediate layer toward the substrate sheet; and peeling off the substrate film of the receptor layer transfer film from the substrate sheet.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 143 words
A thermal transfer image receiving sheet comprising a substrate sheet, an intermediate layer provided on at least one surface side of the substrate sheet and a dye receptor layer provided on the surface of the intermediate layer; said thermal transfer image receiving sheet being produced by the process comprising the steps of: bonding a receptor layer transfer film, which comprises a substrate film other than said substrate sheet, the dye receptor layer provided on said substrate film and the intermediate layer of a resin having a glass transition temperature in the range of -80° to 20° C. provided on said dye receptor layer, to the substrate sheet formed of a pulp paper without carrying out a heating process while facing the intermediate layer toward the substrate sheet; and peeling off the substrate film of the receptor layer transfer film from the substrate sheet.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 29 words
The thermal transfer image receiving sheet as claimed in claim 1, wherein the intermediate layer contains at least one of a white pigment, a filler and a fluorescent brightener.
