PURPOSE:To increase the strength of a recording image and to enhance recording sensitivity by controlling the sticking force of the surface of the colorant layer on a recording sheet, wherein the colorant layer is provided on a sheet base material, to selectively transfer the colorant layer to image receiving paper corresponding to the sticking force. CONSTITUTION:When the sticking layer 6 of a sticking sheet 7 and the colorant layer 9 of a recording sheet 10 are superposed one over another to be held between a platen 2 and a thermal head 1 and the base material 5 of the sticking sheet is selectively heated by the thermal head 1, the sticking layer 16 is softened corresponding to the heating position to be transferred to the surface of the colorant layer 9 to form a sticking image 12. Next, the recording sheet 10 and image receiving paper 11 are superposed one over another to be held between a heating roller 3 and a press roller 4, and the entire surface of the base material of the recording sheet 10 is heated by the heating roller 4. Whereupon, the material of the colorant layer 9 is lowered in its viscosity at the contact surface with the recording sheet base material 8 of the colorant layer 9 and the adhesive strength with the recording sheet base material 8 is lowered and the surface of the sticking image 12 on the surface of the colorant layer 9 is brought into contact with the surface of the image receiving paper 11 to be pressed and sticked thereto. Therefore, when the recording sheet 10 and the image receiving paper 11 are released from each other, the colorant layer 9 is transferred to the image receiving paper 11 at the part of the sticking image 12 to form a recording image 13 on the surface of the image receiving paper 11. |
