A color image transfer method includes: performing solid printing of an image portion on a hydrophilic transfer sheet substrate having coated on a surface thereof a water-soluble resin with an aqueous solution (an aqueous solution ink) containing a component that dissolves the water-soluble resin and imparts the water-soluble resin with an adhesive property for a desired period of time by use of an ink jet printer; scattering heat-bondable resin powder onto the solid printed portion and fixing it thereto while removing the powder from portions other than the image portion; printing with a sublimation ink so that the image may be in register with the solid-printed image by use of an ink jet printer; superimposing the image surface on an article to be transferred and heat-pressing; and peeling off the transfer sheet from the article to be transferred by giving moisture to the transfer sheet. The color image transfer method enables single-part production of articles, is provided for full color image printing and can transfer only an image portion as in screen printing.
