PURPOSE: To be able to use a plurality of times by a simple configuration by incorporating at least one of photopolymerizable monomer and photopolymerizable polymer and colorant in a thermal transfer recording medium becoming disposable by one use. CONSTITUTION: The thermal transfer recording medium 1 is formed by laminating an ink layer 1b containing ultraviolet curable resin including photopolymerizable prepolymer, photopolymerizable monomer and photoinitiator as main bodies as main ingredient (A). At the time of reproducing, the medium 1 is entirely coated with coating ink 2 by including an ink defect part 1c (B), emitted with ultraviolet rays at the back surface side, i.e., at a base material 1a side to cure the ink 2 coated in the part 1c (C), and the excess ink 2 coating except the part 1c is removed (D). Particularly, in the case of reproducing to finely print, the annealing step (E) of varnishing the boundary 3 between the reproduced ink layer 1a and the remaining layer 1b by melting the ink is added. |
