Abstract
A thermal transfer receiver sheet with improved handling properties comprises a sheet-like dielectric substrate supporting a receiver coat of dye-receptive material on one side, characterized in that there are antistatic treatments provided on both sides of the dielectric substrate, such treatments being sufficient on each side to reduce the surface resistivity to less than 1.times.10.sup.13 .OMEGA./square. The side of the substrate remote from the receiver layer suitably has an antistatic backcoat for reducing the surface resistivity on that side, and the use of a textured surface provided by particulate materials either in the antistatic backcoat or in a further backcoat overlying the antistatic backcoat, may further improve the handling properties.
