  • a heat-sensitive two color recording paper having first and second layers which individually develop different colors due to difference in quantity of heat applied to the paper surface, in which the color-developing component of the first layer is composed of (i) a triphenylmethane or fluoran type dye base having in the molecule a reactive color-developing component of the lactone or lactam type and (ii) a phenolic substance or an organic acid.
  • This recording paper contains polyether as a decolorizing agent for removing the color developed in the first layer, and the color of the first layer is removed at the time when the second layer develops a color, so that a clear two-colored record can be obtained.
  • This invention relates to heat-sensitive recording materials for use in information terminal machines such as, for example, facsimile, telegraphic machines, telewriters, electronic computers, various measuring machines and copying machines.
  • Recording materials which have heretofore been used in the above-mentioned machines are represented by conventional photographic materials, electrophotographic materials, electrostatic recording papers, electrolytic recording materials, diazo papers, etc. All these recording materials, however, require toners or developer and fixer at the image-forming step, so that the cleaning of recording machines and the supply of chemicals have been indispensable. Further, inks are used in the recording machines available at present, so that there have been such inconveniences from the standpoint of users that recording papers are stained with the inks, or solids formed due to vaporization of solvents used in the inks clog the inkdischarging holes of pens, with the result that figures to be recorded become thin or, in extreme cases, cannot be recorded. In order to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks, many pressure-sensitive recording materials have come to be used. At present, however, the said recording materials are used as copying papers or teletyping papers in place of carbon papers, and thus are limited in uses.
