| abstract |
There is provided a method for forming an image-receiving sheet for sublimation thermal transfer recording, in which a photoreceptor is partly or wholly charged as it is rotated, while the powdery coating composition is charged oppositely to the photoreceptor and is then adhered to the surface of the photoreceptor, and thereafter the composition is transferred onto the base sheet, and then heated, melted and fixed, thereby to form a continuous film of the receiving layer on the base sheet. n There is further provided a white, powdery coating composition for use for the production of such an image-receiving sheet as above, which comprises a resin component, a white colorant, and a cured product of reaction-curable silicone oils and is characterized in that the composition comprises, as the resin component, from 70 to 95 % by weight of a resin mixture comprising from 50 to 90 % by weight of a saturated polyester resin having an acid value of from 1.0 to 20 mg KOH/g and a glass transition point of from 50 to 70°C and from 10 to 50 % by weight of a styrene-acrylic copolymer resin, and comprises from 0.5 to 12 % by weight of a cured product of at least two reaction-curable silicone oils having functional groups capable of mutually reacting with each other. |
