ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a process for forming an image on a base material, which comprises the steps of (1) ejecting a liquid ink containing a disperse dye as droplets according to predetermined information to form an image on an ink-absorbent sheet, thereby obtaining an image-printing sheet; (2) bringing the image-printing sheet into close contact with a base material having a dye-receiving layer capable of receiving the disperse dye on its surface and high heat resistance of at least 150.degree. C., heating the printing sheet to transfer and diffuse the disperse dye on the image-printing sheet to and into the dye-receiving layer, and then separating the image-printing sheet from the base material, thereby obtaining an intermediate printed article; and (3) applying an aqueous coating fluid containing a substantially transparent resin to the transferred image on the intermediate printed article to provide a first overcoat layer and then applying a substantially transparent resin to the first overcoat layer to provide a second overcoat layer having a pencil hardness of 2H or harder as determined by the pencil scratch test in accordance with JIS K 5400.
