Abstract
Thermal transfer material which is adopted for use in transferring an image of high resistances to wear, water and chemicals on a plastic base such as pre-paid card, coupon card and the like. The thermal transfer material comprises a heat-resistant support and a thermal transfer recording layer stacked on the support. The thermal transfer recording layer comprises a coloring agent, a hot-melt material comprising a thermoplastic resin having a glass transition point of 50 to 110.degree. C., and a lubricant. There is also proposed a recording material adopted for use in combination with the thermal transfer material. The recording material comprises a support and an image-receiving layer formed on the support and comprising a lubricating agent and a thermoplastic resin having a glass transition point of 50.degree. to 110.degree. C. A method of transfer-recording using the thermal transfer material and the recording material is also proposed.
