PURPOSE:To markedly improve recording image quality and recording sensitivity, in the title image receiving sheet receiving a transfer image from a color transfer sheet, by providing an intermediate layer containing polyvinyl alcohol resin having a specific mol% of a hydrophobic group between the image receiving layer and the support. CONSTITUTION:An image receiving sheet for thermal transfer recording useful for a recording system thermally-transferring a colorant, especially, a heat- sublimable dye is obtained by providing an image receiving layer receiving a transfer image from a color transfer sheet on a support. In this image receiving sheet, an intermediate layer containing a polyvinyl alcohol resin having 10-80mol% of a hydrophobic group in an entire monomer compsn. is provided between the image receiving layer and the support. By this constitution, a recording image of high image quality excellent in recording sensitivity and extremely excellent in resolving power, sharpness, color density and missing dot resistance is obtained. The polyvinyl alcohol resin is obtained by hydrolyzing an aliphatic vinyl ester resin so as to have a necessary saponification degree and utilizes the residual aliphatic vinyl ether unit as a hydrophobic group. |
