An image forming medium includes a substrate and an imaging layer coated on or inpregnated into said substrate, where the imaging layer includes a photochromic material and an optional intermolecular hydrogen bond stabilizer, dispersed in a polymeric binder, where the photochromic material reversibly forms intramolecular hydrogen bonds or reversibly forms intermolecular hydrogen bonds with the intermolecular hydrogen bond stabilizer, and thereby exhibits a reversible transition between a colorless state and a colored state in response to heat and light.
