Abstract: [Problem] To provide a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet that makes it possible to produce an image-printed item having high smoothness. [Solution] In a first embodiment of the present invention, a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet is characterized by comprising a receiving layer, a first resin layer, a paper substrate, and a second resin layer in this order, wherein the paper substrate has a thickness of 95 ?m or more and 135 ?m or less, the first resin layer has a weight of 20 g/m2 or more and 60 g/m2 or less, the second resin layer has a weight of 19 g/m2 or more and 35 g/m2 or less.

Abstract: A teaching apparatus that is connected to a control apparatus controlling a welding robot and outputs a command intended for the welding robot to the control apparatus is provided. The teaching apparatus includes a welding-parameter-manipulating portion provided on a front face and accepting an operation of changing a setting that defines a movement, of the welding robot, an enabling switch provided on a back face and accepting an operation of changing a state of electrification of the welding robot, and a robot-manipulating portion provided on the back face and accepting an operation of executing the movement of the welding robot. The welding-parameter-manipulating portion is positioned on a left side, in front view, with respect to the center, and the enabling switch and the robot-manipulating portion are positioned on a right side, in rear view, with respect to the center.

Abstract: A thermal transfer image-receiving sheet which does not cause printing failure while being provided with tear-off lines. The sheet includes a dye-receiving layer on one side of a backing sheet, a tear-off line provided crossing the sheet along a width direction of the sheet and roller contact areas configured to contact a transport roller of a printer provided on opposite sides in the width direction. In each of the roller contact areas on the opposite sides, the tear-off line is not parallel to the width direction of the thermal transfer image-receiving sheet in an area occupying half or more of the roller contact area in the width direction, and when that segment of the tear-off line which is not parallel to the width direction of the thermal transfer image-receiving sheet has one or more bends in the roller contact area, all the bends are bent at obtuse angles.
