SUPPORT DE TRANSFERT INTERMÉDIAIRE, COMBINAISON DE SUPPORT DE TRANSFERT INTERMÉDIAIRE ET DE FEUILLE DE TRANSFERT DE CHALEUR, ET PROCÉDÉ DE FORMATION DE MATIÈRE IMPRIMÉE

摘要

Provided are an intermediate transfer medium which allows the formation of a high-density thermal transferred image on a transfer layer while suppressing the occurrence of printing unevenness and provides good foil cutting properties of the transfer layer, a combination of the intermediate transfer medium and a thermal transfer sheet, and a method for forming a print using the intermediate transfer medium. In order to solve the above problem, in an intermediate transfer medium 10 in which a transfer layer 5 is provided on a substrate 1, the transfer layer 5 has a single layer structure including only a receiving layer 4 or a layered structure including the receiving layer 4; when the transfer layer 5 has the layered structure, the receiving layer 4 is located furthest from the substrate 1 among layers constituting the transfer layer 5; the receiving layer 4 contains a binder resin having a number average molecular weight (Mn) of 8000 or more and 32000 or less and a release agent; and the content of the release agent based on the total mass of the receiving layer 4 is 6% by mass or more.
