Abstract
A method of image formation comprising putting a thermal transfer sheet and a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet one upon another wherein the thermal transfer sheet has on a substrate film a subbing layer of a titanium oxide film, the dye layer on a part of the subbing layer and a transferable protective layer laminate on the other part of the subbing layer than the part for the dye layer thereon, and wherein the thermal transfer image-receiving sheet has on a support the receiving layer containing a polymer latex, in which vinyl chloride is polymerized in at least 95 mol % of all the polymerization monomers, and a polyether-modified silicone, and a heat-insulating layer; recording an image on the receiving layer by a heating device; and transferring at least a part of the transferable protective layer laminate onto the receiving layer by the heating device.
