Abstract: A thermal transfer recording medium includes a base, a release layer disposed on or above the base, and a thermally fusible ink layer disposed on or above the release layer. The release layer includes wax and ethylene-propylene-ethylidene norbornene rubber.

Abstract: A reversible thermosensitive recording medium including: a support; a reversible thermosensitive recording layer on the support; and a protective layer on the reversible thermosensitive recording layer, wherein the reversible thermosensitive recording layer contains an electron-donating color-forming compound and an electron-accepting compound, wherein the protective layer contains a polyester acrylate resin, and wherein the protective layer has a glass transition temperature of 230° C. or higher and has an elongation of 10% or higher.

Abstract: The present invention provides a thermoreversible recording medium which includes a support, a thermoreversible recording layer which comprises a thermoreversible composition containing an electron-donating color-forming compound and an electron-accepting compound, a metal compound-containing layer which includes a resin, an organic metal compound, and an inorganic layer compound, in which the resin is at least one selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl alcohol polymers, and ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers, and the organic metal compound is at least one selected from the group consisting of an organic titanium compound and an organic zirconium compound, and a protective layer which protects the metal compound-containing layer, wherein the support, the thermoreversible recording layer, the metal compound-containing layer and the protective layer are laminated in this order.
