ABSTRACT:
A recording apparatus causes an ink sheet coated with thermoplastic ink to come into contact with an intermediate transfer medium having its outer surface composed of a silicone elastomer film, and then causes a thermal-image formation head to selectively heat the ink in contact with the intermediate transfer medium so that the ink can selectively adhere to the intermediate transfer medium. A complete ink image is formed on a recording paper by stripping off the ink sheet from the intermediate transfer medium while the temperature of the heated ink still remains above the melting point or softening point. These sequential processes are repeatedly executed for plural color inks in the order to form a multi-color ink image on the intermediate transfer medium before transferring the multicolor ink image onto the recording paper.
