Abstract

PURPOSE: To record a high quality image even on a medium to be recorded having low surface smoothness, by providing a transfer part for transferring the image formed on a transfer recording medium to the medium to be recorded in a recording part, a separation means for separating the transfer recording medium after transfer from the medium to be recorded and the heat blocking means between a transfer part and the separation means. CONSTITUTION:For example, a recording head 3a is controlled corresponding to blue, magenta and white image signals to form a negative image on the transfer recording layer 1b of a transfer recording medium 1. This transfer recording medium 1 is fed and the transfer recording layer 1b having the image formed thereto is contacted with recording paper 8 under pressure in a transfer part 4 and heated to transfer a transfer image having blue and magneta colors to the recording paper 8. Thereafter, the transfer recording medium 1 is released from the recording paper 8 by a release roller 5 but radiant heat due to the heat generation of a transfer roller 4a is blocked by a roller cover 4d and the release roller 5 is always held to predetermined temp. or less. Since the release roller 5 is not heated to a necessary degree or more by radiant heat, the separability of the support 1a of the transfer recording medium 1 from the transfer recording layer 1b is kept well and a stable transfer image can be recorded on the recording paper 8.
