Abstract: A thermal transfer image receiving sheet, excellent in releasability even after printing based on a thermal transfer process is performed a plurality of times, is provided. The thermal transfer image receiving sheet has: a substrate sheet; and an image receiving layer which is formed on the substrate sheet and having a binder resin, a high molecular weight silicone, and a low molecular weight-modified silicone. A kinematic viscosity of the high molecular weight silicone is 500000 mm2/s or more, and a kinematic viscosity of the low molecular weight-modified silicone ranges from 100 mm2/s to 100000 mm2/s.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a high performance and highly productive thermal transfer image-receiving sheet which solves drawbacks of the prior art, i.e., drawbacks such as the deterioration in sensitivity in using a pulp paper such as a coated paper as a substrate, and the reduction in productivity and the increase in cost in using a laminated and bonded sheet of a void-containing biaxially stretched film and a core material, is inexpensive, and can attain high-density and high-resolution images having no density irregularity and dot missing.

Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a thermal transfer image receiving sheet which can enhance sensitivity by low heat conductivity and can be easily manufactured at a low cost compared with the lamination of a foaming film. In a thermal transfer image receiving sheet 1 wherein a thermal insulation layer 5 and a dye receiving layer 8 are formed on a base material sheet 2, the thermal insulation layer 5 is formed by extrusion-molding a resin containing at least one of a foaming agent and hollow bodies. The resin extruded at the time of forming the thermal insulation layer 5 is inserted between the base material sheet 2 and the base material film 6, and the base material sheet 2 and the base material film 6 are bonded to each other via the thermal insulation layer 5. The dye receiving layer 8 is formed outside of the base material film 6.
