Abstract

A thermosensitive image transfer recording medium is disclosed, which comprises (a) a support, (b) a peel-off layer formed on the support, which comprises as the main component a thermofusible material, and has a melt viscosity A, and (c) a transparent thermofusible ink layer comprising a plurality of different color thermofusible ink sections, formed side by side in the form of a repeating unit on the peel-off layer, each thermofusible ink section comprising as the main components a thermofusible resin and a coloring agent and having a melt viscosity B which is larger than the melt viscosity A of the peel-off layer, with the melt viscosity A of the peel-off layer being in the range of 10 cps to 10,000 cps at 110.degree. C., and the melt viscosity B of the thermofusible ink layer being in the range of 100 cps to 500,000 cps at 110.degree. C.
