PURPOSE:To prevent the reading of a recording data mark and to obtain a matte printed image, by providing a resin matrix type ink layer between a heat resistant film and a heat-meltable ink layer and constituting said ink layer on the basis of a resin, the wax hardly compatible with said resin and a colorant having the same color as said heat-meltable ink layer. CONSTITUTION:In a resin matrix type ink layer, as a resin to be used, polyester, polyvinyl chloride, polycarbonate, cellulose acetate, a vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate copolymer or the like are designated and, as wax hardly compatible of said resin, carnauba wax, candelilla wax, polyethylene wax, polyethylene oxide wax, paraffin wax, microcrystalline wax or the like are designated and, as a colorant, carbon black, graphite, metal-containing dye, alkali blue, Millon blue, cyanine blue or the like are designated. Further, a heat-meltable ink layer can be formed by a combination of wax, a heat-meltable/heat-softenable resin, a colorant, a softening agent and an extender material. The proper bonding amount of each of the layers is 0.1-20g/m<2>.

[Prior art] Conventionally, there has been a recording method developed in 1973, in which heat-sensitive ink, which is solid at room temperature and reversibly becomes liquid upon heating, is applied onto a polyester film or condenser paper and transferred onto plain paper using a thermal head. This is known from Japanese Patent No. 26245. However, in this method,
Since the applied ink is usually of the same phase, there is a risk that the shape of the printed characters will remain on the film due to ink leakage, and information that you do not want a third party to know may be read from the film.

In this regard, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-42886 discloses a method of shaping printing marks formed on an ink film by heating. However, erasing the recorded information trace requires the same amount of energy as the recording energy, which limits speed, increases the size of the device, and increases costs.

In the present invention, the resin matrix type ink layer is a resin matrix filled with colored ink finely, and the ink layer is not transferred, and only the colored ink is matted on the hot melt ink layer. Part of it is transcribed. As a result, no legible printed character shapes remain on the transfer film after transfer, and the transferred image also becomes matte.
