Claims
- 1. A recording process involving direct information-wise regulatable heating a recording material comprising:
- (i) a layer (1) containing uniformly distributed in a film-forming water-insoluble resin binder a substantially light-insensitive organic metal salt, and
- (ii) a layer (2) in direct contact with said layer (1) or in thermal working relationship therewith through the intermediary of a spacer layer (3), said layer (2) containing uniformly distributed in a film-forming water-soluble hydrophilic binder at least one organic reducing agent, that is capable of diffusing out of said layer (2) into said layer (1) on heating said recording material and wherein said layer (2) contains said reducing agent or reducing agents in a binder/reducing agent weight ratio in the range of 1/1 to 10/1 and layer (1) or (2) is coated with an outermost protective layer having anti-sticking properties through the presence of a lubricating substance therein.
- 2. Recording process according to claim 1, wherein said layer (2) is removed after image-wise heating.
- 3. Recording process according to claim 2, wherein said layer (2) is removed by washing-off with an aqueous liquid or by delamination.
- 4. Recording process according to claim 1, wherein said heat-sensitive recording material is image-wise heated by means of a thermal head containing a plurality of image-wise electrically energized heating elements.
