Disclosed herein is a thermal transfer printing medium which provides high-quality images superior in heat resistance and rub resistance owing to a thermal transfer ink of specific composition which permits the fusible ink layer to cut sharp for transfer. The fusible ink layer is formed from a thermal transfer ink composed of a colorant, thermoplastic resin, and particulate fluorocarbon resin or silicone resin in an amount of 10-70 wt %.
