    Abstract: Disclosed is a heat-sensitive recording material comprising at least an undercoat layer and a heat-sensitive recording layer in this order on a support,
    the undercoat layer containing hollow particles and a binder,
    the heat-sensitive recording layer containing a leuco dye and a developer,
    the heat-sensitive recording material containing a compound represented by the following formula (1) as a first developer of the heat-sensitive recording layer:

    wherein R 1 to R 5 are the same or different, and each represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a nitro group, an amino group, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, an alkylcarbonyloxy group, an arylcarbonyloxy group, an alkylcarbonylamino group, an arylcarbonylamino group, an alkylsulfonylamino group, an arylsulfonylamino group, a monoalkylamino group, a dialkylamino group, or an arylamino group,
    the heat-sensitive recording material satisfying either the following requirement (A) or (B):
    (A) the undercoat layer contains an inorganic pigment I, and the heat-sensitive recording layer contains a pigment with an oil absorption of 130 ml/100 g or less as an inorganic pigment II; or
    (B) the heat-sensitive recording layer contains 5-(N-3-methylphenyl-sulfonamide)-N',N''-bis-(3-methylphenyl)-isophthalic acid diamide or N-[2-(3-phenylureido)phenyl]benzenesulfonamide as a second developer, and the second developer is contained in an amount of 0.4 to 2.5 parts by mass per part by mass of the first developer.

    Abstract: A liquid discharge apparatus (10) includes: a head (34) having a nozzle surface (33A) in which a nozzle (33) is opened; a wiper (72) configured to come into contact with the nozzle surface and move relative to the head; and a controller (130). The controller is configured to execute: a viscosity determination process of determining viscosity of liquid adhering to the nozzle surface; and a wiping process in which the wiper comes into contact with the nozzle surface and moves relative to the head. In a case in which the determined viscosity is lower than first viscosity indicating that the liquid is substantially solidified, a pressing pressure when the wiper comes into contact with the nozzle surface in the wiping process is set to be larger than a stress due to viscous friction of the liquid on the nozzle surface.
