Abstract
The heat-sensitive transfer recording medium of the invention is such that an equilibrium moisture absorption rate at 23° C./50% of an undercoating layer containing a water-soluble polymer as a main component is about 15% or less, preferably 13% or less, and more preferably, a mean value (α) of the surface roughness (root mean square deviation Sq) of the heat-resistant lubricating layer is about 0.05-0.40 μm, a mean value (β) of the surface roughness (root mean square deviation Sq) of the heat-resistant lubricating layer after being allowed to stand for 10 minutes at 150° C. is about 0.00-0.70 μm, and a difference between the mean value (α) and the mean value (β) is about 0.00-0.30 μm.
