ABSTRACT:
A laser thermal transfer recording method comprises: dispensing a thermal transfer sheet and an image-receiving sheet to an exposure recording device; cutting each of the sheets into pieces of a predetermined length; superposing each of the cut pieces of the image-receiving sheet on each of the cut pieces of the thermal transfer sheet; loading an exposure drum installed in the exposure recording device with the thus superposed pieces of sheets; and irradiating the sheets loaded on the exposure drum with a laser beam according to image information, in which the laser beam is absorbed in the thermal transfer sheet and converted into a heat, and an image is transferred onto the image-receiving sheet by the heat converted from the laser beam, wherein each surface of the thermal transfer sheet and the image-receiving sheet is cleaned by contacting with an adhesive roller that includes an adhesive material on its surface, in which the adhesive roller is disposed in any one of a feeding part and a conveying part of the thermal transfer sheet and the image-receiving sheet in the exposure recording device, and the image-receiving sheet has a thickness of 110 to 160 μm, and at least one of pieces of the thermal transfer sheet and pieces of the image-receiving sheet is stacked while be blown.
