PURPOSE:To provide a method of manufacturing an image receiving sheet for thermal transfer recording with a satisfactory image quality by allowing a thermally foaming resin particle in a coated layer to foam uniformly and efficiently and providing an intermediate layer with superb properties. CONSTITUTION:A method of manufacturing an image receiving sheet for thermal transfer recording is to apply a coating liquid containing a thermally foaming resin particle to the surface of a base, then allow the coat to foam by a near- infrared beam emission device as a heating means to prepare an intermediate layer, and form an image receiving layer on the intermediate layer. Consequently, the intermediate layer thus obtained has a large sheet thickness and an adequately foamed state both on the surface and internally. In addition, the quality of an image obtained by a thermal transfer to the image receiving sheet for thermal transfer recording is satisfactory without roughness in the highlighted portion. Further, the image is visually of high color density. |
