Abstract:
A combination of a thermal transfer film and a thermally sensitive color developing paper, with the thermal transfer film provided with a thermally fusible ink layer to be transferred onto the thermally sensitive color developing paper on one surface of a substrate film, and the thermally sensitive color developing paper capable of developing a color of a hue different from that of the thermally fusible ink layer of the thermal transfer film,wherein a red hue can be recorded on the thermally sensitive color developing paper by the transfer of the thermally fusible ink or by the developed color of the thermally sensitive color developing paper in the case the applied energy is relatively low, a plurality of colors can be recorded on the thermally sensitive color developing paper according to a color mixture of the transfer of the thermally fusible ink and the developed color of the thermally sensitive color developing paper in the case the applied energy is relatively high, and a* is 40 to 70, b* is 0 to 25, and C* is 40 to 75 in the red hue recorded by the transfer of the thermally fusible ink or by the developed color of the thermally sensitive color developing paper, and a* is 0 to 20, b* is 0 to 10, and C* is 0 to 20 in the black hue recorded by the color mixture of the transfer of the thermally fusible ink and the developed color of the thermally sensitive color developing paper.
