According to the first aspect of the invention, since an image is formed on the receptor layer through positioning process using the hologram mark and then the transfer portion is transferred to the surface of the transfer-receiving material, no joint of a print plate appears in the hologram pattern and accuracy of transfer is remarkably excellent. On the other hand, In the second aspect of the intermediate transfer recording medium, peeling strength required to peel the transfer portion from the substrate film at the time when transferring the transfer portion to the transfer-receiving material is controlled in the range of 10 to 150 gf/inch. According to the second aspect of the invention, any transfer failure such as tail-extension or chip of the transfer portion is not caused.
