Abstract: A laser recording medium in which the metal recording layer is completely encapsulated between an intermediate layer of solvent resistant plastic material formed on a substrate and a protective layer of solvent-based plastic material formed on the recording layer. In some examples the solvent resistant plastic material is a cross-linked polymeric material formed in a solvent coating process and in other examples the solvent resistant plastic material is a vapor deposited polymeric material.
