Abstract
This invention provides a thermal transfer sheet causing little static electricity during transfer onto a material as a transfer image support, and printed matter excellent in antistatic properties. The thermal transfer sheet comprises a protective transfer layer provided in at least part of one surface of a base sheet via a nontransferable release layer so as to be peelable, and has an antistatic agent contained in at least one of the release layer and the protective transfer layer. Printed matter is prepared by transferring the protective transfer layer from the above thermal transfer sheet onto an image formed on a substrate by a sublimation transfer process so as to cover at least part of the image.
