Abstract
A recording material which comprises a support having provided thereon capsules containing a photosensitive diazonium salt, and a polymerizable coupler. The recording material can give a predetermined hue when light, pressure, heat and the like are applied alone or in combination. The main advantages of the recording material are that a specific hue can be selected safely, mixing of colors can be avoided, desensitization problem does not occur and a fixed image can be obtained.
