Patent ID: 7790346

Claim:
A heat-sensitive transfer image-receiving sheet, comprising; a support; at least one receptor layer on a support, said at least one receptor layer containing at least one of a vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate latex copolymer and a vinyl chloride/acrylate latex copolymer; at least one heat insulation layer containing hollow latex polymer particles having an average diameter of from 0.3 to 1.5 μm, said at least one heat insulation layer being provided between the support and the at least one receptor layer; and wherein the hollow polymer particles have a particle diameter distribution that a sum of the number of particles having diameters of 90% or less of an average diameter of the hollow polymer particles and the number of particles having diameters of 110% or more of the average diameter is at least 40% of the total number of the hollow polymer particles present in the heat insulation layer.
