Disclosed is an intermediate transfer recording medium for use in a method which comprises the steps of: forming an image using the intermediate transfer recording medium on an object; and forming a protective layer on the image. In this case, fastness properties can be fully imparted to the image, the protective layer can be transferred onto the image with high accuracy in a simple manner, blocking and the like attributable to the exposure of a pressure-sensitive adhesive do not take place, and the design and the fastness properties are excellent. An image forming method using the intermediate transfer recording medium is also disclosed. The intermediate transfer recording medium 1 comprises: a sheet substrate 4 provided with a resin layer 5; and a transparent sheet 2 provided with a receptive layer 3, the transparent sheet 2 provided with the receptive layer 3 having been put on top of the sheet substrate 4 provided with the resin layer 5 so that the resin layer 5 faces the transparent sheet 2 on its side remote from the receptive layer 3, the resin layer 5 being separable from the transparent sheet 2 to transfer the transparent sheet 2 provided with a receptive layer 3 onto an object, the transparent sheet 2 portion provided with the receptive layer 3 having been half cut (8) in a specific shape and in a predetermined width around the outer periphery of the region 7 to be transferred onto the object. A transfer image is formed on the receptive layer, and the portion with the image formed thereon is re-transferred onto an object to form an image on the object.

A thermal transfer image receiving sheet is provided which, when used with various printers, can be carried with improved accuracy, can form an image without misregistration, can prevent a trace of a spike of a metallic roller in the printer from reaching the image receiving surface and hence can form an image having quality not significantly influenced by the trace of the spike. The thermal transfer image receiving sheet 1 comprises a substrate 3, a receptive layer 4 provided on at least one side of the substrate 3, and a grip layer 2 provided on the other side of the substrate 3. In this case, the grip layer 2 is constituted by an unstretched synthetic resin layer having a softening point of 110°C or above. This constitution permits a spike of a metallic roller in a printer to satisfactorily bite the unstretched synthetic resin layer having a softening point of 110°C or above as the grip layer 2. This prevents slippage between the metallic roller and the thermal transfer image receiving sheet 1 at the time of a reciprocation for image formation and hence can prevent misregistration. Therefore, the thermal transfer image receiving sheet can be carried with improved accuracy, and a thermally transferred image can be formed without misregistration.

The present invention aims to solve a blocking problem of an intermediate transfer recording medium and to provide an intermediate transfer recording medium having excellent separability. The intermediate transfer recording medium comprises: a sheet substrate provided with a resin layer; and a transparent sheet provided with a receptive layer. The transparent sheet provided with the receptive layer has been put on top of the sheet substrate provided with the resin layer so that the resin layer faces the transparent sheet on its side remote from the receptive layer. The resin layer is separable from the transparent sheet to transfer the transparent sheet provided with the receptive layer onto an object. The resin layer has a single layer structure or a multilayer structure of two or more layers.

A thermal transfer image-receiving sheet is provided which can realize composite recording on both sides of the thermal transfer image-receiving sheet by image formation respectively by means of a sublimation dye thermal transfer method and, in addition, by printing means different from the sublimation dye thermal transfer method. The thermal transfer image-receiving sheet comprises: a substrate; a first recording layer provided on one side of the substrate, an image being formable on the first recording layer by a sublimation dye thermal transfer method; and a second recording layer provided on the other side of the substrate and comprising a combination of two or more layers, the second recording layer permitting recording to be made by printing means other than the sublimation dye thermal transfer method, whereby composite recording can be made on both sides of the thermal transfer image-receiving sheet respectively by a plurality of types of image forming means.
