Abstract: An ink jet recording apparatus according to one exemplary embodiment includes an actuator, a nozzle plate, a supply unit, a discharging unit, and a circulating unit. The actuator includes a pressure chamber which accommodates ink, and changes volume of the pressure chamber. The nozzle plate opens to the pressure chamber and includes a nozzle having a diameter of 20 ?m to 40 ?m. The supply unit supplies the ink to the pressure chamber. The discharging unit collects the ink from the pressure chamber. The circulating unit circulates the ink in the supply unit, the pressure chamber, and the discharging unit. In the ink, an average particle size in laser diffraction type particle distribution measurement is from 0.4 ?m to 6.5 ?m, the average particle size is substantially the same as a particle size in 50% integrated value, and a particle size in 90% integrated value is double or less the particle size in 50% integrated value.

Abstract: A heat transfer medium composed of a base material having thereon in order outwardly from the base material;(a) a colorless or light color heat-fusible transfer layer (A) containing from about 55 to 95 wt % of a wax and from about 5 to 45 wt % of a thermoplastic resin compatible with the wax, based on the whole amount of layer (A); and(b) a heat-softenable ink layer (B) containing from about 50 to 90 wt % of a thermoplastic resin incompatible with the wax in the layer (A) and having adhesion upon heating, from about 3 to 30 wt % of a heat-fusible lubricant, and a coloring material, based on the whole amount of layer (B);the viscosity of layer (A) being from about 100 c.p. to 1,000 c.p. at a temperature 20.degree. C. higher than the melting point of layer (A) shown by a differential scanning calorimeter.The heat transfer medium provides transferred images excellent in rubbing resistance and distinctness.
