- a sublimation transfer dye is used as a recording agent, and a dye is dyed with a sublimation dye from a thermal transfer sheet in which this is carried on a base sheet such as a polyester film.
- a method has been proposed in which a sublimation transfer dye is thermally transferred onto an image-receiving sheet having a receiving layer formed on a transferable transferable material, for example, paper or a plastic film, to form various full-color images.
- the thermal head of the pudding is used as a heating means, and the color dots of which the amount of heating of three or four colors is adjusted by an extremely short heating are transferred to the image receiving sheet.
- the full color original is reproduced by the multicolor dots.

- the amount of dye to the binder that holds the dye on the thermal transfer sheet is increased, or a method of adding a large amount of plasticizer to the receiving layer is used. It is conceivable to take a method.
- the dyeing of the receiving layer becomes softer because the resin of the receiving layer is softened.However, the receiving layer is dyed only by contacting the receiving layer with the dye layer at room temperature. The problem of ⁇ stain on the ground '' that occurs due to the residual heat of the print occurs, and the fusing with the dye binder on the thermal transfer sheet becomes more likely to occur in the medium to high density range, and the peeling noise increases during printing. Or, in some cases, it was completely fused, and a normal print could not be made (abnormal transfer).
- the above-described problems are solved, and a high dyeing ability capable of performing high-speed printing and low-energy printing is provided, and the protective layer can be thermally transferred on the obtained image, Further, it is an object of the present invention to provide a thermal transfer image receiving sheet having a sufficient releasability without heat fusion of the thermal transfer image receiving sheet to a thermal transfer sheet during image formation.
