PURPOSE:To smooth the feed of a sheet in a transfer apparatus and to form a sharp transfer image having high density and free from missing dots by forming a base material into a foam structure and specifying the smoothness of the image receiving layer forming surface of the base material. CONSTITUTION:This sheet consists of a base material 1 and a receiving layer 2 and, if necessary, an intermediate layer 3 is provided between the base material 1 and the receiving layer and, if necessary, a support 4 is provided to the receiving layer forming surface of the base material 1 and, if further necessary, a support 5 is provided thereon. The base material 1 has a foam structure as a whole. The foam structure contains numberless fine voids in the surface and internal parts thereof. Further, at least the receiving layer forming layer of the base material 1 is finished so as to have smoothness of 1000sec or more. By this method, since the close adhesiveness of the base material 1 with a thermal head is enhanced by the cushioning properties and smoothness of the base material 1, a sharp transfer image having high printing density and free from missing dots can be obtained. |
