Patent ID: 7820272

Claim:
An image transfer sheet for electrophotography comprising: a substrate, an image receiving layer provided on at least one side of the substrate on which a toner image is to be formed, and a release layer provided between the substrate and the image receiving layer; wherein: the substrate is plastic, the image receiving layer includes particles having a volume average particle diameter of from 15 to 30 μm, the thickness of the image receiving layer is 10 to 25 μm, the volume average particle diameter of the particles is from 1.2 times to 1.5 times the thickness of the image receiving layer, an adhesion strength of the release layer to the image receiving layer is 5 g/25 mm or less, both surfaces of the image transfer sheet have surface resistivities at 23° C. 55% r.h. which are within the range of 1.0×10 8 to 1.0×10 13 Ω, and the toner image and the image receiving layer are to be transferred together to an element.
