Abstract

A thermal transfer sheet including: a substrate, a thermal transfer layer provided on one side of the substrate, and a heat-resistant slip layer, containing particles, provided on the other side of the substrate, the shot-type abrasion loss of the particles contained in the heat-resistant slip layer being 15 to 100 mg. A thermal transfer sheet including: a substrate, a heat-transferable colorant layer provided on one side of the substrate; and a heat-resistant slip layer, containing an inorganic filler, provided on the other side of the substrate, the inorganic filler comprising a main component and an impurity, the hardness of the main component and the hardness of the impurity having the relationship: main component<impurity, the ratio of the highest diffraction line intensity Y of the impurity to the highest diffraction line intensity X of the main component in the X-ray diffraction of the inorganic filler being 0.03.ltoreq.Y/X.ltoreq.0.20.
