ている。Further, a negative image transfer means 2 is disposed in the conveyance path of the ink film 1. Here, the negative image is an image formed by a portion other than the recorded image among the images formed by the ink applied to the ink film 1. The means for transferring this negative image is provided with a thermal head 2a that heats the ink film 1 according to the negative image and is in pressure contact with the back surface of the ink film. A platen roller 2b is provided which is in pressure contact with the ink film 1 and the transfer film 2C via the transfer film 2C and rotates in the direction indicated by the arrow in accordance with the recording operation. The pressure-contact transfer film 2C is configured to be conveyed synchronously.

る。<Effects of the Invention> As described above, the present invention is configured such that ink other than the recorded image is transferred to the transfer medium before transferring and recording the ink of the ink film to the recording medium. Only ink corresponding to the recorded image is present on the ink film. Therefore, excessive transfer to the recording medium can be prevented, and the temperature and pressure when transferring ink to the recording medium can be set independently of the transfer heat and pressure by the recording head, so if the transfer medium is rough paper. Even if there is, it can be transferred reliably without causing transfer unevenness, and furthermore, since only a negative image is transferred to the transfer medium, it is possible to transfer expensive media such as intermediate transfer bodies or complicated structures. It has such characteristics that it is not even necessary.
