Abstract

A thermosensitive recording method comprising the steps of superimposing a sublimation-type thermosensitive image transfer recording medium on an image receiving sheet, and applying heat imagewise to the recording medium while moving the recording medium and the image receiving sheet in such a manner that the running speed of the image receiving sheet is greater than that of the recording medium. The recording medium for use with the above method comprises an ink layer containing a sublimable dye and one or more organic binder agents in which the sublimable dye is dispersed in the form of granules.
