<p>A thermal transfer recording medium (1) capable of obtaining a fast photographic print having no interstice between image information and a protective film, comprising fusible transfer part (161) composed of fusible primer layer (181) and fusible ink layer (171) wherein the fusible primer layer (181) is composed mainly of a styrene/vinyl acetate copolymer. The styrene/vinyl acetate copolymer is softened or fused by heating so as to have decreased mechanical strength. Thus, by heating, the fusible transfer part (161) can easily be transferred from substrate sheet (11) to thereby enable forming printing layer (47). Although residual resin (49) consisting of the material of fusible primer layer (181) is exposed on the surface of printing layer (47), the styrene/vinyl acetate copolymer has a high adherence to a thermoplastic resin provided at the surface portion of protective part (251), so that no interstice is formed between the protective part (251) and the printing layer (47).</p> |
