Abstract (en)

An intermediate recording medium (1) is suited for thermal transfer printing of the type wherein after a colored material (5, 5') held on a transfer medium (2, 2') has been transferred onto the intermediate recording medium (1) by a recording head (3), the colored material (5, 5') on the intermediate recording medium (1) is transferred onto and fixed on an image receiving medium (4). The intermediate recording medium (1) is made up of a metallic drum (7) and a silicone rubber layer (10) overlaid on the metallic drum (7) and having a thickness of 1 mm or smaller and a density of 0.90 to 1.15. When a reagent having a surface tension of 45 dyn/cm or greater is placed on the silicone rubber layer (10), the contact angle between the silicone rubber layer (10) and the reagent has a cosine of 0.4 or smaller. <IMAGE>
