Abstract: A thermal transfer dye image-receiving sheet capable of receiving thereon dye images thermally transferred from a dye sheet at a high color depth and a high sensitivity without a melt-adhesion thereof to a dye sheet, comprises a image-receiving resinous layer formed on a substrate sheet and comprising a copolymer of 60% by weight or more of vinyl chloride with 40% by weight or less of a comonomeric component including, as an indispensable compound, vinyl propionate, which copolymer optionally further comprises at least one other comonomeric compound having a hydroxyl, carboxyl, amino, reactive methylene or reactive methane group and cross-linked with a polyfunctional compound having two or more isocyanate, epoxy or methylol groups.
