Provided is a thermal transfer recording medium which accommodates requests for increases in the speed of thermal transfer printing and for a higher density/higher quality in thermally transferred images and which is inhibited from causing image blurring, scumming, etc. and can be inhibited from causing peel lines or abnormal transfer in thermal transfer. The thermal transfer recording medium (1) according to an embodiment comprises a base (10), a heat-resistant slip layer (40) formed on one surface of the base (10), an undercoat layer (20) formed on the other surface thereof, and a dye layer (30) formed on the surface of the undercoat layer (20) which is on the reverse side from the surface thereof facing the base (10), wherein the dye layer (30) comprises at least a thermally migratable dye, a first binder resin, and a release agent, the release agent comprising a polyether-modified silicone oil and a perfluoroalkyl compound and having a ratio of the polyether-modified silicone oil to the perfluoroalkyl compound within the range of 9:1 to 6:4 by weight. |
