ABSTRACT:
A thermal transfer recording medium 2, used for a hot-melting-type thermal transfer print system using a hot-melting-type ink, comprises a substrate 2b, and a multi-grooved layer 2a formed on this substrate 2b. A plurality of thin grooves 2a1 are formed on a surface of the multi-grooved layer 2a. Each thin groove 2a1 has a width of 1-10 .mu.m and a length longer than a pixel at least in an auxiliary scanning direction. When a hot-melting-type ink 1a is transferred onto the thermal transfer recording medium 2, the ink 1a smoothly permeates into the thin groove 2a1 and extends along the elongated recess thereof, thereby providing an excellent multi-gradational image with excellent resolution and quality.
