Abstract (en)

A direct thermal recording process wherein a direct thermal recording material is heated dot-wise and said direct thermal recording material comprises on a substrate an imaging layer containing uniformly distributed in a film-forming polymeric binder (i) one or more substantially light-insensitive organic silver salts being no double salts, said silver salt(s) being in thermal working relationship with (ii) an organic reducing agent therefor, characterized in that said reducing agent is a benzene compound the benzene nucleus of which is substituted by no more than two hydroxy groups which are present in 3,4-position on said nucleus and have in the 1-position of said nucleus a substituent linked to said nucleus by means of a carbonyl group.
