PURPOSE:To obtain a thermal transfer material having excellent transferability, by providing an intermediate layer comprising a polyethylene oxide having a specified number average molecular weight and at least one of a polyoxyethylene alkylaryl ether, a fatty acid, a resin acid, an amine and a sulfuric acid ester salt, between a base and a thermally transferable ink layer. CONSTITUTION:An intermediate layer comprising at least one of a polyoxyethylene alkylaryl ether, a fatty acid, a resin acid, an amine and a sulfuric acid ester salt and a polyethylene oxide having a number average molecular weight of 1300-2500 is provided between a base and a thermally transferable ink layer. Namely, a thermal transfer layer 1 is produced by providing the intermediate layer 3 and the thermally transferable ink layer 4 comprising a heat-fusible material on the base 2, which is a sheet-shaped material. The intermediate layer 3 remains adhesive, with a high bond strength, to the base 2 and the ink layer 4 when heat is not applied, but the layer 3 serves for easy release of the ink layer 4 from the base 2 when heat is applied. The ink layer 4 comprises the heat-fusible material and a coloring material, a dispersant, a plasticizer, an oil agent, a filler or the like as main constitutents. |
