Abstract

See full text

A heat-sensitive document capable of providing multiple colors comprising a support having at least one surface bearing a first coating comprising a substantially colorless, chromogenic composition which is capable of producing a first color, a second coating covering a portion of the first coating, the second coating being an opaque coating, comprising an opacifying agent and a hydrophobic, polymeric binding agent, and a localized third coating covering at least a portion of said second coating comprising a substantially colorless, heat-activatable chromogenic composition capable of producing a second color, preferably under the application of heat. The opaque coating is 'dual-functional', since it both enhances multicolor image quality and acts as a primer for adhering the localized chromogenic coating composition.
