BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Among thermal transfer recording methods, a sublimation transfer method using a sublimation dye is known to provide excellent halftone recording.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with conventionally used image receptors, the quality has deteriorated due to changes in the base material of the transfer body (color sheet) from capacitor paper to polymer film, and improvements in ink composition. As the image quality has improved, the problem has become more prominent that some or all of the dots recorded on the image receptor drop out at their ends, reducing the reproducibility of recording. The reason for this is that plain paper, high-quality paper, art paper, etc. inherently have non-uniform density due to the non-uniform thickness of the vegetable fibers used as raw materials and the manufacturing method. As a result, the heat flow from the transfer member is disturbed at the image receiver, resulting in non-uniform thermal transfer.

In addition, synthetic paper, which is made by using a polymer film as a base material and coating it with a coating liquid containing a white pigment, has the purpose of making the surface paper-like or giving it writability. Therefore, pigment particles with a particle size of 1 to 5 μm are mainly used, but large particles of 5 to 10 μm or more are also included in an amount of about 3% by weight or more. When synthetic paper containing such large particles is used as an image receptor, there is a problem in that the colorant layer or dye is transferred unevenly from the transfer body to the image receptor.

Effect The present inventors have discovered that density uniformity and surface uniformity are important not only for the transfer member but also for the image receiver in order to obtain faithful dot reproducibility. That is,
By using a polymer film with excellent density uniformity as the base material, uneven heat conduction due to non-uniform density of the base material is eliminated, and the 5μm By limiting the content of particles smaller than the diameter to the above range, heat conduction between the transfer member and the image receiver is made uniform, and excellent dot reproducibility is provided. Alternatively, a clear image can be obtained by providing a hiding layer of specific fine particles with excellent whiteness or light opacity on a transparent polymer film.

Effects of the Invention The present invention solves the problem of reduced dot reproducibility by providing a polymer film with uniform density and a hiding layer with a limited content of particles with a diameter of 5 μm or less. This is a transparent polymer film that uses specific fine particles to retain an excellent hiding layer, and as a result, an image receptor that provides a uniform and clear image can be obtained.
