Abstract:
1. An image forming method in which an image is formed by using a thermal transfer sheet and a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet in combination, wherein the thermal transfer sheet comprises a substrate, a dye layer formed on one surface of the substrate and a back face layer formed on another surface of the substrate, wherein the thermal transfer image-receiving sheet comprises another substrate and a dye-receiving layer formed on one surface of the other substrate, which is characterized in that the dye layer of the thermal transfer sheet comprises a sublimation type dye, a binder resin, and (A) a polyether modified silicone having a viscosity of not less than 1000 mm 2 /s at 25° C.; and the dye-receiving layer of the thermal transfer image-receiving sheet comprises an aqueous dye-receiving layer.
