PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermal transfer recording material for obtaining an image having excellent fixability and image storability, and a thermal transfer recording method using the recording material. SOLUTION: The thermal transfer recording material contains at least one dye represented by the general formula (I). Embedded image [Wherein, R 1 and R 2 each represent a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, and R 3 represents a substituent. n represents an integer of 0 to 4, when n is 2 or more, plural R 3 may be the same or different. R 4 represents a linear alkyl group having 2 or more carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group, a non-tertiary branched alkyl group, an aryl group, an alkoxy group, an aryloxy group or an amino group; 5 and R 6 each represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent. ] |
