Abstract

A thermal transfer printing receiver sheet comprises a substrate supporting a dye-receiving layer on its surface, characterised in that the main constituent of the dye-receiving layer is a copolyester in which the acid component comprises at least one alicyclic dicarboxylic acid, and the alcohol component comprises at least one alicyclic diol. Such receivers enable a printed sheet with an image of high quality, having a superior balance of properties with respect to optical density, light fastness, storage stability and finger print resistance, to be obtained.
