Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0547233A1] A thermal transfer ink sheet for forming a color image, which can form a clear image even on coarse paper, does not generate reverse transfer during superposition transfer, can make suitable superposition of ink dots and can form a color image with high color reproducibility. To accomplish these objects, the ink sheet of the invention includes: A) a mold release layer (2) consisting of waxes, B) a color ink layer (3) containing a colorant mixed in a vehicle consisting principally of a film-formable thermoplastic resin, and C) a reverse transfer prevention layer (4) consisting of waxes, wherein each of the layers (1 to 3) is disposed on the surface of a subsate (1) in order named. The ink sheet is used suitably for the formation of a color image in indirect thermal transfer. <IMAGE>
