PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermal transfer recording medium which has high transfer sensitivity in high speed printing, i.e. and can reduce dye to be used for a dye layer, and in which abnormal transfer in printing is prevented even after preservation under high temperature and at high humidity.SOLUTION: The thermal transfer recording medium is obtained by providing one of the sides of a base material with a heat resistant sliding layer and forming an undercoat layer and a dye layer on the other side of the base material in succession. The undercoat layer is formed by coating a coating liquid essentially composed of a silicon compound expressed by general formula: Si(OR)or/and its hydrolysate, a silicon compound expressed by general formula: (RSi(OR))or/and its hydrolysate (wherein R, Rdenote CH, CHor CHOCH; and Rdenotes an organic functional group) and a water-soluble polymer, and performing drying. |
