Patent ID: 8445173

Claim:
A method of producing a heat-sensitive transfer image-receiving sheet, comprising the steps of: conveying a transparent support by web handling; providing at least one receptor layer on the transparent support; and drying the heat-sensitive transfer image-receiving sheet, wherein said at least one receptor layer contains a latex polymer having a weighted average glass transition temperature of 30° C. or more, wherein the heat-sensitive transfer image-receiving sheet is dried at a temperature that is higher than the weighted average glass transition temperature by 30° C. or more, wherein the heat-sensitive transfer image-receiving sheet has a lenticular lens on the side of the transparent support opposite to the side on which the receptor layer is provided; wherein the heat-sensitive transfer image-receiving sheet is dried at a temperature within a range from the weighted average glass transfer temperature of the latex polymer to a temperature less than 30° C. lower than the weighted average glass transfer temperature of the latex polymer, and then dried at a temperature of at least 30° C. higher than the weighted average glass transfer temperature of the latex polymer.
