PURPOSE:To enable visible color information to be recorded on a substrate, e.g. cards, by using a heating member such as a thermal head, by forming a thermal transfer accepting layer mainly composed of a specific thermoplastic resin on the surface of the substrate. CONSTITUTION:In an information recording medium 1, on the surface of a substrate 2, a thermal transfer accepting layer 3 mainly composed of a lubricant and a thermoplastic resin made of a linear saturated polyester resin, which is formed by the condensation polymerization of a dicarboxylic acid having a glass transition point of 50-110 deg.C and a diol component, or an acrylic resin or the mixture of these resins. A hot-melt adherent recording layer 7 of a thermal transfer recording medium 6 provided with the hot-melt adherent recording layer 7 on one surface of a substrate 8 is overlapped on the surface of the thermal transfer accepting layer 3. Thereafter, from the side of the substrate 8 of the thermal transfer recording medium 6 a thermal recording is conducted by a heating recording member 10, whereby the hot-melt adherent recording layer 7 is transferred and bonded on the side of the thermal transfer accepting layer 3 to form a recording image 9. |
