Abstract

A heat transfer recording process which performs dotwise printing by means of a dotwise heating means. The process includes the use of a heat transfer sheet comprising a lubricating layer provided on one surface of a substrate film and a dye layer provided on the other surface of the substrate film, and an image-receiving sheet comprising a substrate film and an image-receiving layer formed thereon. The dynamic frictional coefficient at nonprinting between the dye layer of the heat transfer sheet and the image-receiving surface of the image-receiving sheet is within the range of 0.1-0.6.
