Abstract

PURPOSE:To greatly facilitate production of a transfer sheet, by a method wherein a transfer sheet having a transfer layer comprising a heat-sublimable or heat-evaporable dye is laid on a receiving sheet, and thermal transfer is conducted to form a positive transferred image on the receiving sheet. CONSTITUTION:On the transfer layer side of the first transfer sheet having the transfer layer comprising a heat-sublimable or heat-evaporable dye, a positive image is drawn in a liquid substance capable of softening or dissolving the transfer layer, e.g., toluene, then a base is laid on the positive image, and is pressed to transfer the positive image part from the transfer layer onto the base, thereby producing the second transfer sheet having the transfer layer in the shape of a negative image. The receiving sheet is laid on the second transfer sheet, and thermal transfer is conducted to produce a positive transferred image on the receiving sheet.
