A thermal transfer recording material comprising a foundation, and (A) a coated area of at least one heat-meltable ink and (B) a coated area of a release agent or a release composition containing a release agent provided on the foundation, the coated area (A) and the coated area (B) being repeatedly arranged in a side-by-side relation on one side of the foundation, the release agent being at least one member selected from the group consisting of a silicone oil, an alkyl phosphate, a fluorine-containing surface active agent, a silicone resin, a silicone-modified urethane resin, a silicone-modified acrylic resin and a fluorine-containing resin. The thermal transfer recording material is favorably used in a reheating method wherein the heat-meltable ink is transferred onto a receptor, especially a receptor having a porous surface layer, and the ink image formed on the receptor is heated under the condition that the release agent-coated area (B) of the recording material is superimposed on the ink image.
