ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a thermal transfer printer which causes neither blur in first printing nor stain on a sheet even in both-side printing, and which can securely maintain ink writing properties in recording to write an ink image by an intermediate transfer member, and re-transfer properties in re-transfer of an ink image to a printing medium over a long period time. The thermal transfer printer has an ink ribbon interposed between a thermal head having heating elements and an intermediate transfer member, a pressing member for pressing the intermediate transfer member so that an ink of said ink ribbon is transferred to the intermediate transfer member by the thermal head to form a primary recorded image, and the primary recorded image on the intermediate transfer member is transferred to a printing medium interposed between the pressing member and the intermediate transfer member by pressure of the pressing member to print a desired image, and a layer for preventing ink transfer provided on the surface of the pressing member.
