There is provided a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet which has none
of the offset of an antistatic agent, the transfer of the antistatic
agent onto a carrier roll of a thermal printer or the like, a lowering in
whiteness, glossiness, and sensitivity in printing of the thermal
transfer image-receiving sheet, and a remarkable lowering in coating
strength under high-humidity environmental conditions and thus can
realize stable and excellent antistatic properties. The thermal transfer
image-receiving sheet comprises a substrate sheet and a dye-receptive
layer provided on at least one side of the substrate sheet. An
electrically conductive layer is provided as at least one layer between
the substrate sheet and the receptive layer, or as at least one layer on
the substrate sheet in its side remote from the receptive layer. The
electrically conductive layer comprises electrically conductive synthetic
phyllosilicate. By virtue of the incorporation of the electrically
conductive synthetic phyllosilicate in the electrically conductive layer,
the electrically conductive layer has good adhesion to the substrate
sheet and other layers and has high glossiness, and the thermal transfer
image-receiving sheet is free from a change in physical properties such
as coating strength upon a change in environmental conditions and has
excellent antistatic properties.
