<p>A transfer recording medium comprises a support and a recording layer formed thereon comprising at least a colorant and a functional component sensitive to provision of light energy and heat energy. The recording layer is composed to have a specifically high sensitivity selective to provision of both light energy and heat energy defined as follows. The adhesion force f1 between the support and the recording layer and the adhesion force f2 between the recording layer and a transfer-receiving medium such as plain paper satisfy the relations of f1>f2 at a lower temperature and f1<f2 at a higher heated temperature. A minimum exposure quantity is defined as a minimum quantity of light, with a wavelength to which the functional component in the recording layer is sensitive at 100 DEG C., providing f1>f2 at the higher heated temperature when the recording layer is exposed to the light and then heated. Then, the recording layer provides f1<f2 at the higher heated temperature when it is exposed at 30 DEG C. to the light with an exposure quantity, which is 5 times the minimum quantity, and then heated.</p> |
