ABSTRACT:
A thermal transfer recording medium1according to the present invention is to obtain a reliable printed matter with no space between picture information and a protective film thereof and has a melting type transfer portion161including a melting type primer layer181whose main component is styrene vinyl acetate copolymer and a melting type ink layer171. Since styrene vinyl acetate copolymer softens or melts by heating to lose mechanical strength thereof, the melting type transfer portion161is transferred with ease from a base sheet11by heating to form a printing layer47. On the surface of the printing layer47, a residual resin49formed of material of the melting type primer layer181is exposed; however, since styrene vinyl acetate copolymer sticks well to a thermoplastic resin existing on the surface portion of a protective portion251, there is no space generated between the protective portion251and the printing layer47.
