Abstract: A thermal transfer image-receiving sheet comprising a substrate and, formed on one surface of the substrate sheet, a resin layer comprising at least a dye-receiving layer, wherein said resin layer includes a hollow capsule having a volumetric hollowness of 50 % or more; a process for producing a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet, wherein a resin layer comprising at least a dye-receiving layer and including a hollow capsule having a volumetric hollowness of 50 % or more is provided on a substrate sheet by transferring; and a process for producing a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet, wherein a resin layer comprising at least a dye-receiving layer and a hollow capsule having a volumetric hollowness of 50 % or more is provided on a substrate sheet by coating. 
     A receiving layer transfer sheet comprising a substrate sheet and a transferable resin layer provided on one surface of the substrate sheet, wherein said transferable resin layer comprises a dye-receiving layer and a cell-containing layer and said cell-containing layer contains a cell and/or a foaming agent capable of increasing the thickness of the transferable resin layer by a factor of 1.1 to 4 upon being heated; a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet comprising a substrate sheet and a resin layer provided on one surface of the substrate sheet, wherein said resin layer comprises a dye-receiving layer and a cell-containing layer and said cell-containing layer contains a cell and/or a foaming agent capable of increasing the thickness of the transferable resin layer by a factor of 1.1 to 4 upon being heated; and a process for producing a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet, wherein the transferable resin layer of said receiving layer transfer sheet is transferred to a substrate sheet. 
     A receiving layer transfer sheet comprising a substrate sheet and a transferable resin layer provided on one surface of the substrate sheet, wherein said transferable resin layer comprises a dye-receiving layer and a cell-containing layer and the cell-containing layer contains at least two foaming agents different from each other in the foaming temperature; a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet comprising a substrate sheet and a resin layer provided on one surface of the substrate sheet, wherein said resin layer comprises a dye-receiving layer and a cell-containing layer and said cell-containing layer contains at least two foaming agents different from each other in the foaming temperature; and a process for producing the thermal transfer image-receiving sheet. 
     A receiving layer transfer sheet comprising a substrate sheet and a transferable resin layer provided on one surface of the substrate sheet, wherein said transferable resin layer comprises a dye-receiving layer and a cell-containing layer and said cell-containing layer comprises a cell and/or a foaming agent having an average particle diameter of 20 µm or less; a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet comprising a substrate sheet and a resin layer provided on one surface of the substrate sheet, wherein said resin layer comprises a dye-receiving layer and a cell-containing layer and said cell-containing layer comprises a cell and/or a foaming agent having an average particle diameter of 40 µm or less; and a process for producing a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet, wherein the transferable resin layer of the receiving layer transfer sheet is transferred to a substrate sheet.
