Definitions

• the present invention relates to a pressure-sensitive copying paper using as a color former a pyridinecarboxylic acid lactone represented by the following general formula;

• Y represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a halogen atom or a phenyl group, with the proviso that A and A both cannot simultaneously be an indolyl group or a pyrrolyl group.
• pressure-sensitive copying paper comprises the combination of an upper sheet (or transfer sheet) having coated on the back surface thereof minute microcapsules containing dissolved therein an electron donative substantially colorless organic compound capable of undergoing color reaction, i.e., color former, and a lower sheet paper (or receiving sheet) having coated on the surface thereof a color developer.
• Pressure-sensitive copying paper systems comprising the aforesaid transfer sheet and a receiving sheet and an intermediate sheet are also known.
