Method For Producing Transfer Medium And Transfer Recording Method

A transfer recording method comprising:

• forming a first layer by attaching an image forming ink to a transfer sheet;
• forming a second layer by attaching an adhesive ink to partially overlap the first layer;
• drying the transfer sheet by heating the transfer sheet on which the first layer and the second layer are formed;
• and
• thermally transferring the first layer and the second layer included in the transfer medium produced through the forming the first layer to the drying onto a transfer target medium, wherein
• the image forming ink contains a coloring material and water,
• the adhesive ink contains resin, a silicone-based surfactant, a solvent having an SP value of 8.0 or more and 14.0 or less, and water,
• an amount of the silicone-based surfactant in the adhesive ink is 0.02% by mass or more and 1.50% by mass or less,
• an amount of the solvent in the adhesive ink is 0.5% by mass or more and 10.0% by mass or less,
• the second layer has a region protruding from the first layer when the transfer sheet is seen in plan view,
• the forming the first layer uses, as the image forming ink, a white ink containing the coloring material that is white and a color ink containing the coloring material that has a hue other than white, and forms a white layer by using the white ink on a color layer formed by using the color ink,
• in the forming the second layer, an ejection amount of the adhesive ink per unit area in the region protruding from the first layer is greater than an ejection amount of the adhesive ink per unit area in a region overlapping the first layer, when the transfer sheet is seen in plan view,
• an average ejection amount of the image forming ink per unit area is 30 g/m2 or more and 200 g/m2 or less when the transfer sheet is seen in plan view, and
• an average ejection amount of the adhesive ink per unit area is 30 g/m2 or more and 500 g/m2 or less when the transfer sheet is seen in plan view.
