A dye-transfer-type thermal printing sheet |
(57) A dye-transfer-type thermal printing sheet is disclosed which comprises a substrate
and a colored layer disposed on the substrate, the colored layer comprising wax and
one or more fatty acid amides. The dye-transfer-type thermal printing sheet has a
high recording density when an image is recorded on an image-receiving sheet, and
may readily be peeled off the image-receiving sheet once recording is complete. Its
properties are largely unaffÂected by transport and storage.
