Abstract (en)

A thermal transfer recording device in which a gap (13) is provided between a layer (22) of a transfer dye and an object of transfer recording (14) and in which the transfer dye is supplied to a transfer section (3) and subsequently vaporized by heating means so as to be transferred onto the object of transfer recording (14) wherein, with the density of the transfer dye rho , the surface tension of the transfer dye gamma and with the period of heating omega , a unit width d of a spatial structure of the transfer section is given by <MATH> where n is a positive integer. With the present thermal transfer recording device, a high-quality color image can be produced easily. <IMAGE>
