Abstract
A heat transfer recording apparatus of the present invention reliably separates an ink sheet and recording paper which have been joined at recording of immediately before from each other when ink of the ink sheet is transferred to recording paper to record an image. More concretely, when an ink sheet and recording paper are transported to record an image of a noticed line, a recording head is heated on the basis of the image data of the line recorded immediately before. As a result, the ink of the ink sheet is melted and therefore the sheet and the recording paper can be separated easily.
