Heat-sensitive transfer image-receiving sheet

Abstract
A heat-sensitive transfer image-receiving sheet comprising at least one heat insulating layer containing a hollow polymer and at least one receiving layer containing a polymer latex on a support in this order wherein the support comprises raw paper and a polyolefin resin layer provided on the receiving layer side of the raw paper or on the both sides thereof.
Description
Claims
  • 1. A heat-sensitive transfer image-receiving sheet comprising at least one heat insulating layer containing a hollow polymer and at least one receiving layer containing a polymer latex on a support in this order wherein the support comprises raw paper and a polyolefin resin layer provided on the receiving layer side of the raw paper or on the both sides thereof.
  • 2. The heat-sensitive transfer image-receiving sheet according to claim 1, wherein the support exhibits a Beck smoothness of 10,000 seconds or more and a central line average roughness (Ra) of 0.5 μm or less on the receiving layer side thereof.
  • 3. The heat-sensitive transfer image-receiving sheet according to claim 1, wherein the support is a coated paper.
  • 4. The heat-sensitive transfer image-receiving sheet according to claim 1, wherein the raw paper has a basis weight of from 50 to 250 g/m2.
  • 5. The heat-sensitive transfer image-receiving sheet according to claim 1, wherein the polyolefin resin layer comprises a homopolymer of an α-olefin.
  • 6. The heat-sensitive transfer image-receiving sheet according to claim 1, wherein the polyolefin resin layer comprises polyethylene or polypropylene.
  • 7. The heat-sensitive transfer image-receiving sheet according to claim 1, wherein the polyolefin resin layer comprises a high density polyethylene and a low density polyethylene.
  • 8. The heat-sensitive transfer image-receiving sheet according to claim 7, wherein each of the high density polyethylene and the low density polyethylene has a melt index of from 1.0 to 40 g/10 minutes.
  • 9. The heat-sensitive transfer image-receiving sheet according to claim 1, wherein the support has a thickness of from 25 μm to 300 μm.
  • 10. The heat-sensitive transfer image-receiving sheet according to claim 1, wherein the receiving layer and the heat insulating layer are formed by a simultaneous multi-layer coating method.
