<p>This improved sheet (1) for receiving a heat-transferred image is used in combination with a heat-transfer sheet (2) having a dye layer. The dye contd. in (2) can be transferred by melting or sublimation on heating' (1) Comprises a base sheet and a receiving layer (3) formed on at least one surface of the base sheet. (3) Can receive a dye transferred from the heat transfer sheet by heat printing. (3) is made of a specific modified polyester resin, namely a phenyl gp.-modified polyester resin and/or a long chain methylene gp. modified polyester resin. An intermediate layer can be formed between the base sheet and the receiving layer and it is made of a specific resin having porosity.</p>
