PURPOSE:To eliminate the possibility that an ink layer may thermally fuse to an image receiving body at the time of printing by a recoding method wherein a recording medium is overlapped on the image receiving body provided with a dye accepting layer consisting of a vinyl chloride resin on a substrate and heated from the side of the thermal transfer recording medium and, thereby, a sublimable dye is transferred to the image receiving body. CONSTITUTION:On a substrate, a dye supply layer 4 and a transfer contributing layer 5 are provided in this order from the side of the substrate. A sublimable dye is adjusted so as to be easily diffused and supplied from the dye supply layer 4 to the transfer contributing layer 5 by the amount to be consumed from the transfer contributing layer 5 through a free surface by a sublimable transfer method. In this manner, a multi-time printing can be conducted. In addition, the use of an image receiving body having an accepting layer of a vinyl chloride as an image receiving body in this invention allows a printing to be conducted with high releasability and stable sheet running properties during printing. Furthermore, the high thermal stability of the image receiving body after an image forming prevents a change of an image in storage. |
