Abstract
Abstract Pressure-sensitive recording sheets which comprise at least a transfer sheet having on its one side a coating including microcapsules containing as color-former black color-forming fluoran dye and a color-developing sheet having on its one side a color-developer layer containing at least activated clay, zinc carbonate and thiourea compound. The pressure-sensitive recording sheets of this invention provide pure black color image having high-color density, excellent light fastness and less color change with the lapse of time.
