A multicolor direct thermal imaging method wherein a multicolor image is formed in a thermal imaging member comprising at least first and second different image-forming compositions and a thermal printer for use in practicing the method. Heat is applied to at least the second image-forming composition while the first image-forming composition is at a first baseline temperature (T<SUB>1</SUB>) to form an image in at least the second image-forming composition, and heat is applied to at least the first image-forming composition while it is at a second baseline temperature (T<SUB>2</SUB>) to form an image in at least the first image-forming composition, wherein T<SUB>1 </SUB>is different from T<SUB>2</SUB>.
