ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a thermal-transfer recording process employing a transfer material and a image-receiving sheet. The transfer material comprises a support film and an image forming layer containing a coloring material and an organic polymer, and the image-receiving sheet comprises a substrate and a photopolymerizable or photosensitive thermal-adhesive layer. The process comprises placing the transfer material on the image-receiving sheet to form a composite; imagewise heating the surface of the support film of the composite using a thermal head; separating the transfer material from the image-receiving sheet leaving the image forming layer in the heated area on the photopolymerizable or photosensitive thermal-adhesive layer to form a colored replica image on the image-receiving layer; and either exposing the whole surface of the photopolymerizable thermal-adhesive layer to radiation to cure the photopolymerizable thermal-adhesive layer; or exposing the whole surface of the photosensitive thermal-adhesive layer and the image forming layer to UV-rays and treating the exposed layer with a developing solution to remove the exposed layer in the area having no colored replica image thereon.
