PURPOSE:To ensure the color density is uniform, image quality free of color defects or voids in dots can be obtained, little electrostatic charge is generated at the time of printing and curling does not occur after printing, by providing a highly elastic intermediate layer between a photographic printing paper and a dyeable resin layer. CONSTITUTION:The image-receiving paper for thermal transfer comprises the printing paper 1, the intermediate layer 2 and the dyeable resin layer 3. The intermediate layer is formed of a material rich in elasticity and capable of easily achieving uniform close contact of the layers 3, 4 under a pressure exerted by a thermal head, and is generally provided by using a substance having rubber elasticity. Particularly, a substance having a Young's modulus of 10<5>-10<9>dyn/ cm<2>, preferably, 5X10<6>-5X10<8>dyn/cm<2> is suitable. A covalent bond crosslinked type elastomer generally called vulcanized rubber, a thermoplastic elastomer which is plasticized at high temperature so that it can be molded or formed by plastic-processing machines, and a thermoplastic having a low modulus of elasticity can be used as a substance for forming the intermediate layer. |
