摘要:
This invention includes novel sultine compounds and the reaction of these compounds to form colored compounds. The invention also includes the use of these color-forming compounds in the manufacture and imaging of thermal imaging papers and pressure-sensitive imaging papers.
摘要:
A method of optically reading colored record images formed by the reaction of a substantially colorless electron donating dye and an electron accepting developer in a pressure-sensitive recording sheet with a red light having a wavelength of from 620 nm to 700 nm, wherein the pressure-sensitive recording sheet comprises an electron accepting developer layer containing a metal salt of an aromatic carboxylic acid as the electron accepting developer and an electron donating dye layer containing a phthalide compound represented by the following formula (1) as the electron donating dye: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, and R.sub.4 each represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aralkyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group; the R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 or the R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 may combine with each other to form a ring; R.sub.5 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group; R6, R.sub.7, R.sub.8, and R.sub.9 each represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, a substituted amino group, or an alicyclic amino group; and X and Y each represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, or an alkoxy group.
