PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermal transfer medium for ink-jet and a thermal transfer method by which it is possible to thermally transfer a thermal transfer medium on which an image is formed by an ink-jet process to a pliable material such as cloth to which an image is thermally transferred without deteriorating the fastness of a transferred image and spoiling the feel of the material to which an image is transferred, and also an item to which an image is thermally transferred. SOLUTION: In the thermal transfer medium for ink-jet comprising a support 2 and a thermal transfer layer 3 formed on the support 2, the melt point of the thermal transfer layer 3 is 120 deg.C or lower and the melting viscosity of the thermal transfer layer 3 at 150 deg.C is 10,000 cPs or less. An article 6 to which an image is transferred is formed by this method comprising process to form an image on the thermal transfer layer 3 of the thermal transfer medium by an ink-jet process, a process to cause the thermal transfer layer 3 to adhere to a material 4 to which an image is transferred, a process to thermally transfer the thermal transfer layer 3 to the material 4 and a process to peel the support 2 of a thermal transfer sheet from the thermal transfer layer 3. A material 6 to which an image is transferred is formed. |
