Abstract
A heat-sensitive transfer medium comprises a base material and superposingly formed thereon a release layer, an intermediate layer and an ink layer in this order. The ink layer contains a colorant, a first resin capable of curing upon reaction with a curing agent, a curing agent that causes the resin to cure, and a second resin capable of inhibiting the reaction of the first resin with the curing agent, and the release layer is formed in a coating weight of from 0.005 g/m.sup.2 to 0.4 g/m.sup.2. This heat-sensitive transfer medium enables sharp color printing and also can form transferred patterns having a superior rub resistance.
