Abstract

A thermosensitive image transfer recording material is disclosed, which comprises a ribbon-shaped substrate; a plurality of thermosensitive image transfer layer sections formed on the substrate, each thermosensitive image transfer layer section having a different color, which are sequentially disposed adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction of the substrate; and a plurality of marker layer sections for optically detecting the color of any of the thermosensitive image transfer layer sections adjacent to the marker layer section, each of which marker layer sections is disposed in the regions between the thermosensitive image transfer layer sections in such a configuration that at least part of the surface of each marker section is covered by at least one of the two thermosensitive image transfer layer sections adjacent to the marker layer section, with the entire surface of the substrate being completely covered by the image transfer layer sections and the marker layer sections.
