The present invention provides an image supporting material for fixably
supporting a color toner image, the material including a base material, a
light scattering layer provided on the base material and containing a
white pigment and a thermoplastic resin, and a color toner receptive
layer provided on the light scattering layer and containing at least a
thermoplastic resin, wherein the thermoplastic resin in the light
scattering layer is constituted of a polyolefin or a polyolefinic
copolymer having a temperature, at which viscosity becomes
5.times.10.sup.3 Pas, of 100.degree. C. or higher, and the thermoplastic
resin in the color toner receptive layer is constituted of a resin
obtained by melt mixing of a crystalline polyester resin and an amorphous
resin and having a temperature, at which viscosity becomes 10.sup.3 Pas,
equal to or higher than 65.degree. C. but lower than 80.degree. C.
