Recording medium for recording apparatus such as printing apparatus

摘要

The present invention relates to a recording medium (10) for use in a recording apparatus comprising a substrate (12), a sensitive layer (16) and an electrically conducting layer (14).

The invention is characterised in that the sensitive layer (16) is formed from a material which is hydrophilic at temperatures below about 150 degrees C and is capable of having its hydrophilicity locally reduced by the passage of electrical current therethrough.
