PURPOSE:To provide a thermal recorder which can perform high quality recording through simple structure without requiring any special cleaning means or maintenance. CONSTITUTION:An ink image 16 is recorded through a thermal head 10 onto an intermediate transfer drum 1 kept at a predetermined temperature. The ink image 16 is transferred through pressing onto a recording paper 15 and residual ink 17 on the intermediate transfer drum 1 is transferred onto an ink sheet 7 by pressing a thermal head 10. The thermal head 10 is pressed against the ink sheet 7 for an interval longer than single revolution of the intermediate transfer drum 1 after finish of image recording.
