PURPOSE:To enhance color density and obtain uniform images, by incorporating a higher fatty acide amide into a receiving layer comprising a saturated polyester. CONSTITUTION:The amount of a higher fatty acid amide is 50-300wt% based on the amount of a saturated polyester. A typical example of the saturated polyester is polyethylene terephtalate. In preparation of the image-receiving paper for thermal transfer, a solution of dispersed liquid of the saturated polyester resin and the higher fatty acid amide are used, and a high melting point thermoplastic high molecular weight adhesive can be used as a binder for adhesion to a base, if required. The coating material comprising these components is applied to the base by a coating machine having an ordinary coating head, followed by drying to obtain the image-receiving paper. With the higher fatty acide amide incorporated in the receiving layer of the image-receiving paper, heat transfer from a coloring material sheet heated by a thermal head or the like is improved, and affinity of a dye and the saturated polyester for each other is enhanced. |
