<p>A dye-transfer-type thermal printing sheet is disclosed which comprises a substrate and a colored layer disposed on the substrate, the colored layer comprising wax and one or more fatty acid amides. The dye-transfer-type thermal printing sheet has a high recording density when an image is recorded on an image-receiving sheet, and may readily be peeled off the image-receiving sheet once recording is complete. Its properties are largely unaffected by transport and storage.</p>
