Abstract (en)

A pressure-sensitive record system comprises a donor composition and an acceptor composition which react under pressure to generate a coloured image or print, in which the donor composition comprises microcapsules containing a solution in a high-boiling solvent (preferably an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent) of an electron-donating colouriess dye and the acceptor composition comprises activated clay and an aryl or aralkyl ester of p-hydroxybenzoic acid. Record systems produced using this combination of specific donor and acceptor compositions have a high rate of colour development, a high stability of the coloured images formed, and stability of unprinted background portions, particularly on exposure to sunlight and atmospheric oxidizing gases, and consequently a long shelf life. The record system is preferably of the transfer type in the form of a manifold containing a CB-sheet coated with the donor composition and a CF-sheet coated with the acceptor composition and possibly one or more interposed CFB-sheets coated on opposite sides with the two compositions.
