Abstract
Abstract There are disclosed three kinds of pressure sensitive recording papers obtained by combining a colored oil-soluble dye, a microcapsule containing organic liquid and a whitening agent. These pressure sensitive recording papers have advantages that a record image of sufficient color density can be obtained by using said dye in only a small quantity, they are resistant to light, heat, chemicals, etc., they are excellent in conservability, and so on.
