Patent number: 7476642Abstract: Provision of a thermally sensitive recording medium made up of an undercoating layer containing a pigment and a binder as main components and a thermally sensitive color-developing layer containing a colorless or pale-colored basic leuco dye and a color-developing agent which develops a color by reacting with said basic leuco dye as main components on a substrate, wherein the undercoating layer contains a water-retention agent and a pigment whose oil-absorbing capacity prescribed by JIS K 5105 is from 80 cc/100 g to 120 cc/100 g as a pigment. Further, the solids concentration of a coating for the undercoating layer is from 25% to 45% and the dynamic water-retention capacity, which is Water retention measured with AA-GWR, is 350 g/m2 or less.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2004Date of Patent: January 13, 2009Assignee: Nippon Paper Industries Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mizuho Shimoyama, Kaoru Hamada, Seiki Yoneshige, Kenji Hirai

Patent number: 7465694Abstract: A thermally sensitive recording medium has at least one layer on a substrate which is a thermally sensitive recording layer that contains a colorless or pale colored electron-donating leuco dye and an electron-accepting color-developing agent. At least one layer on the substrate contains a hydrated silicic acid compound which is treated by wet grinding treatment in a deposition process of the hydrated silicic acid compound. A thermally sensitive recording medium of high brightness, which is superior in color-developing sensitivity and coating layer strength and, further, has excellent head abrasion resistance, less debris adhering and sticking resistance is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2005Date of Patent: December 16, 2008Assignee: Nippon Paper Industries Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Date, Mizuho Shimoyama, Koichi Yanai, Kenji Hirai
