PURPOSE:To prevent image quality from deteriorating due to void of images when the images are formed on a paper having rough surface, in thermal transfer method, by adding a gel to heat melting ink. CONSTITUTION:In heat melting ink to be used in an image formation device for forming images by thermal transfer method, a material which becomes a gel at the room temperature is to be included in binding component of the ink at weight ratio of 10% or above and 60% or below with respect to the whole. Thus, a means for forming highly graded images on a paper having rough surface by the thermal transfer method can be provided. |
