PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermal transfer film which shows the outstanding durability such as wear resistance and light fastness of an obtained imaged matter and good transfer sensitivity and anti-blocking properties during a period when the film is taken up and kept and an imaging method using this film and an imaged matter. SOLUTION: A thermal transfer film 1 has a thermal transfer layer 3 composed mainly of a polyester resin with a glass transition point of 50 to 100 deg.C and a number average molecular weight of 1,000 to 10,000 formed on one of the surface sides of a base 21 and at a farthest position from the base 21. Further, a heat transfer recording medium 7 has a thermal transfer ink layer 8 containing a thermoplastic resin and a coloring agent formed on at least the other surface side of the base 21. In addition, the thermal transfer ink layer 8 of the thermal transfer recording medium 7 or the coloring agent contained in the thermal transfer ink layer 8 is transferred, in an image fashion, to the thermal transfer layer 3 of the thermal transfer film 1 by heating the film 1 and the medium 7 in an image fashion. Consequently, a reverse image is once formed on the thermal transfer film 1 and then the whole thermal transfer layer 3 with a formed image is transferred to an imaged matter 10. Thus it is possible to form an image on the imaged matter 10. |
