Abstract:
1. An intermediate transfer medium which comprises a substrate, protective layers which have a layered structure comprising two or more of layers, and a receiving layer; wherein these are layered in that order; wherein one protective layer in the protective layers having the layered structure is a durable layer which mainly comprises a polyester of high polymerization degree which has a number average molecular weight (Mn) of not less than 12,000 and Tg of not lower than 60° C. or a mixture of a polyester of high polymerization degree which has a number average molecular weight (Mn) of not less than 12,000 and Tg of not lower than 60° C. and polycarbonate, and/or polyester urethane; wherein another protective layer in the protective layers having the layered structure is a plasticizer-resistive layer which comprises one or more members selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl butyral, polyvinyl acetal, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, or comprises a cationic resin; and wherein the receiving layer contains a side-chain type aralkyl-modified silicone in a proportion of from 0.5 to 5% by weight on a base of the total weight of the receiving layer.
