SUBLIMATION TYPE HEAT TRANSFER RECORDING METHOD AND DEVICE, AND HEAT TRANSFER SHEET USEFUL THEREFOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a faulty image so-called 'jitter' generated in a case wherein a printing area is smaller than the printable area of a heat transfer sheet, in a heat transfer recording sheet wherein the image is formed on the image receiving sheet by a multi-head simultaneous writing system with an N-times recording method. SOLUTION: In a heat sensitive recording method wherein heat transfer recording is effected employing a heat transfer recording device from a heat transfer sheet to an image receiving sheet by a multi-heat simultaneous writing system with the N-times recording method, the recording device is provided with at least two pieces of thermal head supplying layers constituted of a sublimation dye resolved or dispersed into a resin while a dye transfer contributing layer, constituted of a heat curing resin and elastic particles, is provided on the dye supplying layer. At least the uppermost surface of the image receiving sheet is constituted of a cured resin film and a lubricant while a dynamic frictional coefficient difference Δμ1 between printing time and non-printing time on the image receiving sheet surface/the heat transfer recording sheet surface is specified so as to be not more than 0.2.
