The invention discloses an anti-fake thermal transfer ribbon and a recovery device thereof. The thermal transfer ribbon comprises a back coating, a base ribbon, a microcrystalline wax layer, an innercoating and an ink layer. During recovery, the ink layer of the thermal transfer ribbon is downward, the thermal transfer ribbon enters the space between an organic solvent rectification plate and a organic solvent groove through a conveying roller on the left, organic solvent enters the organic solvent rectification plate from the inside of the organic solvent groove through an organic solvent pipe, and then emerges from an organic solvent hole to dissolve the ink layer, then the ink layer is stripped through two scrapers sequentially, and then the thermal transfer ribbon passes between an air groove and a hot air rectification plate. Hot air in the air groove enters the hot air rectification plate through a hot air pipe and then conducts air drying on the thermal transfer ribbon throughair holes, and finally the thermal transfer ribbon is conveyed out from a conveying roller on the right. The anti-fake thermal transfer ribbon and the recovery device thereof have the advantages thatthe microcrystalline wax layer is arranged between the base ribbon and the inner coating, thus ink on the thermal transfer ribbon is easy to separate after heated, and recovery is convenient. A certain smooth degree can be ensured through a slipping agent in the ink components, meanwhile the ink is not liable to disperse after printing, the recovery process is simple and effective, operation is simple, and the automation degree is high.
