Abstract
Disclosed is a multi-color transfer image forming method, which comprises subjecting a colored image forming material having a coloration recording layer comprising at least two layers and containing a photosensitive material and a colorant on a support to aqueous development after imagewise exposure, thereby forming a colored image, transferring the colored image to an image receiving member through the outermost surface of the coloration recording layer and then transferring at least one colored image with different hue onto the same image receiving member in conformity with the colored image, characterized in that the layer of the coloration recording layer remotest from the support is a layer adherable to the image receiving member, and only the colored image portion is transferred onto the image receiving member to have the image receiving member surface exposed at the non-image portion of the multi-color image. According to the present invention, the treating process of multi-color transfer image becomes simpler and also a transferred image approximate to a printed matter can be obtained.
