A ribbon for smoothing a print image is disclosed which is used in a method which comprises bringing the ribbon into contact with a print image formed on a receptor by thermal transfer and heating the print image from the opposite side of the ribbon with respect to the side contacting the print image under pressure by means of a thermal head, thereby smoothing the print image. The ribbon has a kinetic friction coefficient, muA, on the side A thereof contacting the thermal head and a kinetic friction coefficient, muB, on the side B thereof contacting the print image, the values muA and muB satisfying the following equations:
