Abstract

An image transfer sheet has a support, a transfer layer formed on one side of the support, and a backing layer formed on the other side of the support, opposite to the transfer layer with respect to the support, the backing layer containing a silicone material which is in a solid state at room temperature. An image is formed on the transfer layer of the above-mentioned image transfer sheet by various image forming methods, and the image-bearing transfer layer of the image transfer sheet is transferred to an image-receiving member by the application of heat and/or pressure thereto.
