PURPOSE:To provide a thermosensitive recording element with which recording by a thermosensitive printer or the like and the making of a master sheet for hectoprinting with which a recorded printed image can be copied on a plurality of sheets can simultaneously be effected, by sequentially arranging a master image forming carrier and hectocarbon paper on the bottom of thermosensitive recording paper. CONSTITUTION:A master image forming carrier 3 made of transparent or translucent paper or synthetic resin sheet of 5-50mu in thickness and having a Bekk smoothness of 10-500 seconds and hectocarbon paper 5 made of a carrier 6 which has a thickness of 15-100mu and is coated with a thermosensitive transfer ink layer 4 of 2-25mu in thickness are arranged on the bottom of thermosensitive recording paper 2 of 10-50mu in thickness and 0.6-1.3g/cm in density to provide a thermosensitive recording element 1. Printing and coloring are effected on the recording paper 2 of the recording element 1 by a heater 7 to form a desired printed image 8 and transfer a master image 9, which corresponds to the printed image 8, from the ink layer 4 on the carbon paper 5 onto the carrier 3. The carrier 3 is peeled off the carbon paper 5 and the recording paper 2 to provide a master sheet. |
