PURPOSE:To achieve color transfer recording with high resolution, by arranging ink layers so that the viscosity of each color ink at the time of transfer is decreased in the order of transfer, in an ink sheet wherein two or more color ink layers are arranged. CONSTITUTION:The ink sheet 13 coated with heat-fusible inks of yellow Y, magenta M and cyan C is fed in the direction of an arrow D, and is sequentially laminated with a recording paper 12 to conduct transfer recording. The inks are so selected that the viscosity of each of the inks at the time of transfer is decreased in the order of yellow, magenta and cyan. Therefore, for instance, when a magenta ink 15 is transferred onto the recording paper 12 after a yellow ink 16 is transferred onto the paper 12, the viscosity of the ink 15 subsequently transferred is lower than that of the ink 16 precedingly transferred, so that the ink 15 subsequently used for recording penetrates into a gap 17 formed by the ink 16 precedingly used, and an image with high resolution can be obtained. |
