Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JPH1067186

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

To form a color thermal transfer recording medium capable of transferring ink with even transfer rate without being affected by an alteration or the like of the calorific power of a thermal transfer head and having a good reproduction of gradation.

The color thermal transfer recording medium is formed that heat-melt transfer ink layers 3, 4, 5 colored in at least magenta, cyan, and yellow respectively are provided on one surface of a base 2 in the longitudinal direction of the base and, besides, and intermediate layer 6 is provided between the melting thermal transfer ink layers and the base 2, wherein a softening point of the heat-melt transfer ink layers 3, 4, 5 is in the range of 50-150°C, and melting point of the intermediate layer 6 is in the range of 50-130°C.
