Abstract: A toner manufacturing process, includes: melting a kneaded composition, to thereby obtain a melted composition; and spraying the melted composition with a high pressure gas, to thereby form a fine particle. The kneaded composition is selected from the group consisting of the following <1>, <2> and <3>: <1> a first kneaded composition including a binder resin, a colorant, and a charge controlling agent, <2> a second kneaded composition including a binder resin, a colorant, a charge controlling agent, and a releasing agent, and <3> a third kneaded composition including a binder resin, a magnetic agent, a charge controlling agent, and a releasing agent.

Abstract: A reversible thermosensitive recording label for reversibly forming images and erasing recorded images thereon is composed of a reversible thermosensitive recording member having a temperature-dependent transparency which reversibly changes depending upon the temperature thereof, an adhesive layer provided on the back side of the reversible thermosensitive recording member, and a disposable release sheet applied to the adhesive layer. A reversible thermosensitive recording card is composed of the reversible thermosensitive recording member, the adhesive layer provided on the back side of the reversible thermosensitive recording member, and a label receiving material to which the adhesive layer is applied.

Abstract: A method of producing a reversible thermosensitive recording material composed of a support, and a reversible thermosensitive recording layer formed thereon, which contains a matrix resin and an organic low-molecular weight material dispersed in the matrix resin, and capable of reversibly assuming a transparent state and a white opaque state depending upon the temperature thereof, is composed of the steps of applying a solution or dispersion of the matrix resin and the organic low-molecular-weight material dissolved or dispersed in a solvent to the support, and drying the applied solution or dispersion with the application of heat thereto in such a manner that when the temperature of the solution or dispersion applied side of the support it t.sub.1, and the temperature of the back side surface of the support, opposite to the solution or dispersion applied side thereof, is t.sub.2, t.sub.1 is lower than t.sub.2 (t.sub.1 <t.sub.

Abstract: A reversible thermosensitive recording material composed of a support, and a reversible thermosensitive recording layer formed on the support, containing a matrix resin and an organic low-molecular-weight material, the organic low-molecular-weight material being dispersed in the form of discrete domains in the matrix resin, thereby constituting a phase-separation structure, with the periodic distance of the phase-separation structure of the reversible thermosensitive recording layer being 1.3 .mu.m or less. This reversible thermosensitive recording material can be produced by applying a coating liquid containing the organic low-molecular-weight material and the matrix resin which are dissolved in a solvent to the support to form the reversible thermosensitive recording layer on the support; and drying the applied coating liquid under such conditions controlled so as to obtain a 1.3 .mu.

Abstract: A method of compensating for the distortion in a recording layer of a reversible thermosensitive recording medium, for which transparency of the recording layer is changeable, depending upon the temperature thereof, and the recording layer is capable of forming images and erasing the images reversibly. The distortion in the recording layer is caused by the repeated image formation by image formation means and/or image erasure by image erasing means. In this method, stress is applied to the recording layer before and/or after image formation by the movement of the recording medium relative to the image formation means, in a direction different from the direction of the application of stress in the course of a previous image formation or image erasure. Instead of the stress, thermal energy can be employed for compensating for the distortion in the recording layer.
