Abstract

An heat-sensitive transfer image-forming method which uses a heat-sensitive transfer image-receiving sheet and a heat-sensitive transfer sheet, in which the heat-sensitive transfer image-receiving sheet includes at least one receptor layer; and the heat-sensitive transfer sheet includes at least one yellow dye layer, at least one magenta dye layer, and at least one cyan dye layer: the method including superposing the heat-sensitive transfer sheet on the heat-sensitive transfer image-receiving sheet, and then heating to form an image on the receptor layer; and controlling the maximum value of E value represented by formula (1) having the range from 52 to 72, based on a* value and b* value in the region of L* value of the formed magenta monochromatic image ranging from 45 to 90: Formula (1) E=√(a*+b*).
