Abstract:
1. A protective layer transfer sheet comprising a transferable image protective layer unit on a support for forming a protective layer by thermally transferring on an image which is formed by method comprising the steps of; overlaying a thermal transfer image receiving sheet having a thermal diffusible dye receiving layer on an support and a thermal transfer recording ink sheet having an ink layer containing a thermal diffusible dye capable of forming a chelate complex with a compound containing a metal ion, and heating the thermal transfer image receiving sheet and the thermal transfer recording ink sheet according to signals to be recorded to form an image in the diffusible dye receiving layer, wherein the transferable image protective layer unit comprises plural transferable resin layers, in which at least one of the resin layers contains the metal ion-containing compound, a resin layer other than the resin layer containing the metal ion-containing compound contains a UV absorbent, and a barrier resin layer is provided between the resin layer containing the metal ion-containing compound and the resin layer containing the UV absorbent.
