SELF-COLORING PHOTOSENSITIVE AND PRESSURE-SENSITIVE RECORDING MATERIAL, METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME AND IMAGE FORMING METHOD USING THE SAME MATERIAL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure superior handleability after image formation. SOLUTION: In a self-coloring photosensitive and pressure sensitive recording material obtained by forming a self-coloring photosensitive and pressure sensitive recording layer 2 containing a developer and photosensitive microcapsules which house a dye precursor, a photopolymerization initiator and a polymerizable compound polymerized in the presence of the initiator and block the outflow of the dye precursor by the polymerization when irradiated with light of a prescribed wavelength in a monolayer or laminate state on a support member 1, at least one layer 3 of an active energy beam-curable resin cured by irradiation with prescribed active energy beams is formed in a prescribed thickness on the surface of the recording layer 2 after exposure by irradiation with light of the prescribed wavelength and development by the breaking of the microcapsules under pressure.
