Recording medium, recorded matter, and methods of manufacturing the medium and the matter

A transferring material, comprising:

• an ink-receiving layer configured to receive an ink for inkjet recording;
• a transparent sheet having a total luminous transmittance of 50% or more;
• a releasing layer comprising a composition including a release agent;
• and
• a base material sheet serving as a support for the releasing layer,
• wherein the transferring material has a layered structure in which (i) the ink-receiving layer, the transparent sheet, the releasing layer, and the base material sheet are sequentially stacked, and (ii) the transparent sheet and the ink-receiving layer are in abutment with each other,
• wherein the ink-receiving layer comprises a gap-absorption-type ink-receiving layer comprising a composition including alumina fine particles having an average particle diameter of 120 nm or more and 200 nm or less and polyvinyl alcohol having a weight-average polymerization degree of 2,000 or more and 5,000 or less and a saponification degree of 70 mol % or more and 90 mol % or less,
• wherein a content of the polyvinyl alcohol in the ink-receiving layer is 3.3 parts by mass or more and 100 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the alumina fine particles, and
• wherein an image is recorded with a pigment ink comprising a resin dispersion-type pigment, and the transferring material is used for transferring the image onto a transfer member.
