Patent ID: 8129311

Claim:
A heat-sensitive transfer image-receiving sheet, comprising a support and an interlayer, an insulation layer and a receptor layer formed on the support in that order, wherein the receptor layer contains at least one kind of latex polymer and a compound represented by the following Formula (I) or an inorganic salt selected from the group consisting of halides, sulfate compounds and nitrate compounds of alkali metals, and the contact angle between the receptor layer surface and water 2 seconds after placement of water droplet, as determined by the static droplet method specified in JIS R-3257, is 68° or less or the contact angle 60 seconds after placement of water droplet is 28° or less, R—(OCH 2 CH 2 ) n —OH Formula (I) wherein, R represents an alkyl or alkenyl group having 4 to 30 carbon atoms, and n is an integer of 10 to 30, and wherein the latex polymer is one or at least two kinds of latex polymer selected from the group consisting of vinyl chloride/acrylic compound latex copolymers, vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate latex copolymers, and vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate/acrylic compound latex copolymers.
