Abstract
In a thermal transfer recording apparatus, an ink sheet and a recording medium are conveyed relative to each other, and an image is recorded by transferring ink from the ink sheet onto the recording medium. The apparatus includes a detector which detects whether the recording is continuous or intermittent, and a controller which changes the amount by which the ink sheet is conveyed in accordance with the detected result.
