PURPOSE: To obtain a transfer image of good quality by preparing a single- layered conductive ink sheet dispersed with inorganic components in thicker density on the side contacting a recording electrode needle.

CONSTITUTION: A sheet type material as a whole being conductive and comprising a film-forming thermoplastic resin 102 provided in dispersion with a coloring component 101 and inorganic component 103, said inorganic component 103 being maldistributed around the side contacting a recording electrode needle. Said inorganic component includes metallic oxides, silicon oxides, metal carbonate, metal powder, etc. For ink, it is necessary that if a binder component 102 is not conductive, said inorganic component 103 and said coloring component 101 are conductive. An ink adhesion to an electrode needle should, by all means, be avoided by a proper distribution of said inorganic component 103 toward the top and bottom of said ink sheet.
