Multicolor image forming material and method of multicolor image formation

摘要

A multicolor image forming material comprising: an image receiving sheet comprising a substrate and an image receiving layer; and at least four heat transfer sheets each comprising a substrate and an image forming layer, each of the heat transfer sheets being adapted to be superposed on the image receiving sheet with the image forming layer facing the image receiving layer and irradiated with laser light to transfer the irradiated area of the image forming layer to the image receiving layer to form an image on the image receiving sheet, wherein the at least four heat transfer sheets comprise a heat transfer sheet (X) of which the image forming layer has a hue selected from the group defined herein and an absolute difference DeltaD between an optical density of the image forming layer of each of the at least four heat transfer sheets and a corresponding target optical density is equal to or smaller than 0.2.
