PURPOSE:To form two-color recorded images with clear color tones, by providing a first thermally transferable ink layer comprising a coloring agent dispersed in a binder and a second thermally transferable ink layer having a lower melting point and a different color as compared with those of the first ink layer, on a base. CONSTITUTION:A thermal transfer layer 3 provided on a base 2 comprises a first thermally transferable ink layer 3a comprising a coloring agent disposed in a binder consisting of a thermoplastic resin and having a high melting point and a second thermally transferable ink layer 3b comprising a coloring agent dispersed in a binder consisting of a wax and a rosin ester and having a low melting point. The second ink layer melted or softened has a stronger adhesive force on the side facing a recording medium than on the side facing the first ink layer. The difference in the adhesive force makes it possible to enhance the separability of the ink layers and to form clear two-color recorded images even on a recording medium having a low smoothness. |
