Abstract
There is disclosed a thermal transfer recording medium comprising a support, two or more coloring agent layer and optionally an intermediate layer, wherein one of the coloring agent layers contains a first heat-fusible substance selected from the group consisting of animal waxes, plant waxes, mineral waxes, petroleum waxes, synthetic hydrocarbon waxes and modified waxes and a layer adjacent to the coloring agent layer containing the first heat-fusible substance which contains a second heat-fusible substance which is immiscible with the first heat-fusible substance. According to the thermal transfer recording medium of the present invention, transferred images with constant transfer density can be obtained with an application energy at a certain level or higher and constant printed letter quality can be obtained for multiple times without being influenced by the subtle change in the application energy.
