Abstract

PURPOSE:To transfer images at high speed and with favorable resolution through using laser radiation, by providing on a base film a layer comprising a substance capable of generating heat when being irradiated with laser radiation and a layer comprising a sublimable dye. CONSTITUTION:A layer comprising a substance capable of generating heat when being irradiated with laser radiation (heat generating layer) and a layer comprising a sublimable dye (coloring material layer) are provided in that order on a base film in a laminate form. An image-receiving sheet is set in close contact with the coloring material layer side of this transfer material, and they are irradiated with laser radiation from the base film side of the transfer material, whereby the dye in the coloring material layer is sublimed to be transferred onto the image-receiving sheet. When a semiconductor laser is used, the substance capable of generating heat is suitably a substance having characteristic absorption in a near infrared region. For instance, a cyanine dye or anthraquinone dye may be used. Such a near infrared-absorbing dye may be applied directly or by using a urea-melamine resin or the like as a binder.
