PURPOSE:To enable transfer on a receptor, by forming an image transfer layer consisting of a substance for generating heat upon the absorption of light, a sublimable dye and a resin binder to the support substrate on a sheet. CONSTITUTION:A resin binder is one for unformize the mixing state of a substance generating heat upon the absorption of light and a sublimable dye and mutually bonding both components. An image forming material transfers an image onto the surface of a receptor by a method wherein a photomask corresponding to a desired image pattern is contacted with the light pervious surface of either one of a support substrate or the receptor and exposed by using a light source having a light emitting spectrum of a near infrared region such as a xenon flash lamp or by a method wherein beam is scanned by a laser beam source without using the photomask so as to form an image pattern before exposure. By using this image forming material, a color image having a desired color corresponding to the color phase of the sublimable dye can be instantaneously received on the receptor. |
