Abstract
A transfer printing method is provided which comprises the steps of: selectively melt-transferring at least one of heat-meltable ink layers Y, M and C containing heat-migrating dyes for respective colors onto a foundation to form an ink image on the foundation, selectively melt-transferring a heat-meltable layer T containing a readily dyeable heat-meltable resin onto the ink image, giving a master sheet, and placing the master sheet on an image receptor and heating the resulting assembly under pressure to form a dyed image on the image receptor. The transfer printing method gives a clear dyed image, especially a clear full-color dyed image, on any image receptor regardless of the kind thereof.
