THERMAL TRANSFER RECORDING MATERIAL

摘要

A thermal transfer image receiving sheet having a substrate sheet and, formed on at least one surface thereof, an image receiving layer, wherein a cellulose ester resin (A) having an acetylation degree of 10 to 30 % and a cellulose ester resin (B) having an acetylation degree of less than 6 % are used in combination in a manner such that the acetylation degree of the total of the cellulose ester resin (A) and (B) is 8 to 14 %, both of the cellulose ester resin (A) and (B) have a hydroxyl group in an amount of 6 wt % or less, and the rest of the hydroxyl group is esterificated with an organic acid except acetic acid. The thermal transfer image receiving sheet, which contains no vinyl chloride, allows an image having high dyeing capacity to be formed even in high speed printing or low energy printing, has excellent releasability from a thermal transfer sheet, is free from the oozing or scumming due to a plasticizer, and can have a protective sheet adhered on the image receiving layer.
