Process for producing printing sheet

The present invention relates to a process for efficiently producing a silicone-based printing sheet which has an excellent ability to fix a thermal transfer ink thereto and is suitable for use in forming management labels or the like therefrom. A process which is for efficiently producing a silicone-based printing sheet and capable of forming an ink-receiving layer which is excellent in the fixability of a thermal transfer ink thereto and can be peeled off easily. The process comprises spreading a coating liquid containing at least a cellulosic polymer and a silicone resin as components on a carrier film wherein at least a surface layer on the side to be coated with the coating liquid is made of poly(vinylidene fluoride), and drying the coating to form an ink-receiving layer.
