Thermal transfer sheet for formation of color image.

摘要

A thermal transfer sheet for the formation of a color image is disclosed which has a high heat sensitivity and can provide a full-color image having good color density and light fastness even when the heat energy applied is low and, at the same time, can realize very excellent reproduction in a wide range of colors. The thermal transfer sheet for the formation of a color image comprises a substrate sheet and, formed on one surface of the substrate sheet in a successive manner, dye layers of at least three colors of yellow, magenta and cyan respectively comprising dyes of three colors of yellow, magenta and cyan and resin binders for respective dyes, wherein the yellow dye is a dye represented by the formulae (1) and/or (2), the magenta dye is at least one member selected from the group consisting of dyes represented by the formulae (3) to (5) and the cyan dye is a dye represented by the formulae (6) and/or (7).
