[0015] (Laminate) As shown in FIG. 1, the laminate 10 of the present invention includes a first resin layer 11, a base material 12, and a second resin layer 13 in this order. In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the laminate 10 includes a receiving layer 14 on the first resin layer 11. Also, in one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the laminate 10 includes a porous layer 15 between the first resin layer 11 and the receiving layer 14. In the present invention, "comprising in this order" includes the case where a primer layer is provided between any layers, for example, between the first resin layer and the receiving layer.

[0016] In the laminate of the present invention, the ratio (B / A) of the product (A) of the flexural modulus of the resin composition contained in the first resin layer and the weight of the first resin layer to the product (B) of the flexural modulus of the resin composition contained in the second resin layer and the weight of the second resin layer is preferably 1.5 or less. Thereby, generation of curl generated in the laminate can be prevented during storage. In particular, a laminate having a paper substrate as a substrate is easily affected by the surrounding environment, and particularly, curl is significantly generated when it is left standing in a high-humidity environment. By setting B / A within the above numerical range, generation of this curl can be effectively prevented. B / A is preferably 0.8 or more and 1.4 or less, and more preferably 1.0 or more and 1.3 or less. The measurement of the flexural modulus is performed in accordance with JIS K 7171 (ISO 178).

[0017] In the present invention, the weights of the first resin layer and the second resin layer can be measured, for example, after impregnating the laminate in a sodium hydroxide solution and peeling each layer.

[0018] The stiffness of the laminate of the present invention is preferably 500 mg or more and 2000 mg or less, and more preferably 700 mg or more and 2000 mg or less. Thereby, the strength of the laminate and the conveyance suitability in the printer can be improved. Also, the feel of the thermal transfer image receiving sheet can be further improved. In the present invention, the stiffness of the laminate is measured using a Gurley stiffness tester manufactured by Toyo Seiki Co., Ltd. in an environment of a temperature of 25°C and a humidity of 50% in accordance with the method described in JIS L 1085.

[0019] Hereinafter, each layer included in the laminate according to the present invention will be described.

[0031] (Substrate) The substrate is required to have heat resistance capable of withstanding the thermal energy applied during thermal transfer (for example, heat from a thermal head) and mechanical strength capable of supporting a receiving layer or the like provided on the substrate. As such a substrate, for example, paper substrates such as high-quality paper, art paper, coated paper, resin-coated paper, cast-coated paper, cardboard, synthetic paper, and impregnated paper, and films made of resin materials such as polyester, polyamide, polyolefin, vinyl resin, and (meth)acrylic resin (hereinafter simply referred to as "resin film") can be used.

[0033] The thickness of the base material is preferably 80 μm or more and 200 μm or less, and more preferably 95 μm or more and 150 μm or less. Thereby, the generation of curl in the above laminate can be more effectively prevented.

[0034] (Receiving layer) The receiving layer is a layer that receives sublimable dyes transferred from the dye layer provided on the thermal transfer sheet and maintains the formed image, and contains at least one resin material. Examples of the resin material include polyester, polyamide, polyolefin, vinyl resin, (meth)acrylic resin, imide resin, cellulose resin, styrene resin, polycarbonate, and ionomer resin. Among these, vinyl resin is preferred for reasons such as improving image density and print durability.

[0035] The content of the above resin material in the receiving layer is not particularly limited, and can be, for example, 80% by mass or more and 98% by mass or less.

[0036] In one embodiment, the receiving layer contains one or more release agents. Thereby, the releasability from the thermal transfer sheet after image formation can be improved.

[0041] (porous layer) In one embodiment, the laminate of the present invention includes a porous layer between the base material and the receiving layer, whereby the image density formed on the receiving layer can be improved.

[0044] The thickness of the porous layer is preferably 20 μm or more and 100 μm or less, more preferably 30 μm or more and 80 μm or less. Thereby, the image density formed on the receiving layer can be further improved. Further, the generation of the above curl in the laminate can be more effectively prevented.

[0045] The porous resin film using the above-described resin material or the like can be produced by a known method. For example, it can be produced by forming a film from a mixture in which incompatible organic particles or inorganic particles are kneaded with the above-described resin material. Further, in one embodiment, the porous resin film can be produced by forming a film from a mixture containing a first resin material and a second resin material having a melting point higher than that of the first resin material. In this case, the second resin material functions as a nucleating agent for forming fine voids. The mixing amount of the second resin material is preferably 2 parts by mass or more and 10 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the first resin material. For example, a porous resin film can be produced by forming a film from a mixture containing polypropylene as the first resin material and an acrylic resin as the second resin material. Further, the film may be a uniaxially stretched film or a biaxially stretched film. Also, a commercially available porous film may be used.
