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 polymerization degree 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 with a polymerization degree of 50-450 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 a vinyl acetate resin obtained by controlling its polymerization degree becoming essential so as to have a necessary saponification degree. |
