Abstract: A process is provided for producing a pressure-sensitive carbonless record sheet comprising the steps of preparing a hot melt coating composition, the hot melt coating composition being water insoluble and having a melting point of from about 60.degree. C. to about 140.degree. C. The hot melt coating composition includes a chromogenic material. The chromogenic material is a meltable color developer of the acidic electron accepting type. The hot melt coating composition is heated to a temperature above its melting point and the heated coating composition is applied to a substrate, the coating composition being applied at a coat weight of from about 0.2 pounds to about 8.0 pounds per 3300 square feet of substrate. The coating composition is set by cooling the coated substrate. A novel liquid chromogenic coating composition is produced, the coating composition having a melting point of from about 60.degree. C. to about 140.degree. C.
