PURPOSE:To obtain a thermal transfer sheet having magenta-violet colors of excellent gradationality, high color density and excellent preservability by carrying an ink layer containing monoazo compound of a specific structure on a support. CONSTITUTION:An ink layer containing monoazo compound represented by a formula (where X is H, a methyl group and Cl, and R is a 1-4C alkyl group) is carried on a support. When a thermal transfer recording is conducted by a thermal transfer sheet containing dyes of the magenta-violet colors, a magenta- violet image having excellent gradationality and high color density can be obtained. Further, since the obtained image has excellent color reproducibility, excellent light resistance, weather resistance and heat resistance, its preservability is excellent. |
