Method For Producing Transfer Medium And Transfer Recording Method

A transfer recording method comprising:

• forming a first layer by adhering an image forming ink to a transfer sheet including a substrate and an ink receiving layer containing resin and an inorganic oxide particle having a maximum particle diameter of 5 μm or more;
• forming a second layer by adhering an adhesive ink on top of the first layer;
• drying the transfer sheet by heating the transfer sheet having the first layer and the second layer to 100° C. or more;
• and
• thermally transferring the ink receiving layer, the first layer, and the second layer included in the transfer medium produced through the forming the first layer, the forming the second layer, and the drying, onto a transfer target medium, wherein
• the ink receiving layer contains, as the resin, at least one selected from the group consisting of acrylic resin, vinyl acetate resin, and urethane resin,
• the ink receiving layer has a thickness of 7 μm or more, and
• the forming the first layer uses a color ink and a white ink as the image forming ink,
• the white ink is adhered on top of the color ink on at least a portion of the transfer sheet,
• an amount of adhesion of the image forming ink per unit area of the transfer sheet is 30 g/m2 or more and 200 g/m2 or less,
• an amount of adhesion of the adhesive ink per unit area of the transfer sheet is 30 g/m2 or more and 500 g/m2 or less, and
• a total amount of adhesion of the image forming ink and the adhesive ink per unit area of the transfer sheet is 110 g/m2 or more.
