った。JP-A-59-158289 describes the use of a 2-hydroxyphenylbenzotriazole type ultraviolet absorber as a dye image receiving material for heat development and a dye image receiving material for thermal transfer. However, when the ultraviolet absorber described here (hereinafter referred to as UV agent) is used in the dye image-receiving material, although the effect of improving the light resistance is certainly recognized, it is added in order to transfer the dye under heating. It was found that a considerable amount of the UV agent was transferred from the image-receiving material to the photothermographic material or the thermal transfer recording material in a reverse transfer manner.
As a result, it was found that a sufficient UV blocking effect cannot be obtained. Furthermore, it has been found that the above UV agent, particularly when added to a hydrophobic binder, causes the UV gloss to be deposited on the surface of the image receiving layer during storage of the print after transfer of the dye image, thereby lowering the surface gloss. .. In particular, it has been found that such precipitation on the surface of the image receiving layer is likely to occur when the temperature during storage of the print is repeatedly high and low.
【0005】かかる欠点を改良するために、本出願人は

However, it has been found that it is not always sufficient when dye transfer is performed from a photothermographic material under heating.

した。That is, it is generally known that a UV agent is added to a photothermographic material, and the UV agent usually absorbs ultraviolet rays at the time of exposure to form an appropriate spectral sensitivity distribution, or It is used for the purpose of reducing static fog caused by discharge of static electricity that occurs during high speed conveyance during coating or cutting during the production of a photothermographic material. However, it was found that when the dye image was transferred to the image receiving layer, the UV agent added to the photothermographic material was also partially transferred to the image receiving layer at the same time.
