Abstract
A thermal transfer recording sheet is produced by placing, on one side of a sheet-like heat-resistant substrate successively along the surface, one or more thermal transfer recording layers containing a recording material which contains a binder material and a coloring material and whose viscosity is lowered and controlled by temperature-raise recording control, so that transferability to recording medium is imparted, and a thermal transfer coating layer containing a hot-melt material which is miscible (compatible) with at least a part of said binder material. The thermal transfer recording using said thermal transfer recording sheet is characterized by first subjecting the thermal transfer coating layer to temperature-raise recording control, forming a film of the hot-melt material on the surface of the recording material at least on a portion to which the recording material is transferred, and conducting thereon thermal transfer recording as usual. By this thermal transfer recording, the unevenness of transfer can be reduced and the recording sensibility can be improved.
