Thermal transfer printing

摘要

A printing method includes an ink image forming step and an ink image retransferring step. In the ink image forming step, an ink image (21) is formed on a hot-melting type adhesive layer (14) of a transfer sheet (10) by using a heat-sensitive image transfer type recording device. In the image retransferring step, the ink image (21) and the hot-melting type adhesive layer (14) are transferred onto an image receiving member (30) such as a cloth by heatedly pressing the transfer sheet (10).
