摘要:
A recording medium comprising a substrate and a transfer recording layer containing a photo-initiator comprising camphorquinone and a coumarin derivative. Such photo-initiator aids in realizing high sensitivity without lowering storage stability of the recording medium. The transfer recording layer causes a change in transfer characteristic when provided with light energy and heat energy, at least one of which is applied imagewise, to provide a transferable portion therein. The transferable portion is then transferred to a transfer-receiving medium such as plain paper to form a transferred image thereon.

In a jet recording method, a recording material is placed in a path defined by a nozzle leading to an ejection outlet, and then heated by actuating a heater disposed within the nozzle to generate a bubble within the recording material, thus ejecting a droplet of the recording material out of the ejection outlet under the action of the bubble to be attached onto recording paper. As improvement, the recording material is pre-heated by actuating the heater before the heating for generating the bubble, and the generated bubble is caused to communicate with ambience. As a result, the ejection of the recording material droplet is stabilized without causing splash or mist.

A recording medium has a recording layer comprising image-forming elements (A), (B) and (C) containing at least a compound having unsaturated double bond and a photopolymerization initiator. The photopolymerization initiator in the element (A) is a compound represented by the following formula (I): ##STR1## (wherein Ar.sub.1 and Ar.sub.2 are ech aromatic ring or heterocyclis ring). The photopolymerization initiator in the element (B) has an absorption maximum in a wavelength region of 360 to 430 nm. The photopolymerization initiator in the element (C) has an absorption maximum in a wavelength region of 430 nm or longer. The recording medium is suitably used as a transfer recording medium in a recording apparatus which includes heating means and light irradiating means to provide the recording layer with heat energy and photoenergy to change the transfer characteristic of the recording layer. The light irradiating means includes a phosphor of thallium-activated calcium phosphate or thallium-activated calcium zinc phosphate, a phosphor having a fluorescent peak wavelength of 360 to 430 nm and a phosphor having a fluorescent peak wavelength of 430 nm or longer, and a light source for exciting the phosphors.

A transfer recording medium comprises a support and a transfer recording layer formed thereon capable of charging its transferability when provided with light energy and heat energy. The transfer recording layer comprises at least a colorant and a functional component sensitive to the provision of light energy and heat energy. The functional component comprises at least a photo-initiator and a polymerizing component of a monomer, oligomer or prepolymer having an unsaturated double bond. The polymerizing component has a melting point of 40.degree.-150.degree. C. Because of the inclusion of the polymerizing component which is solid at room temperature, the transfer recording layer has an excellent storability as well as an increased sensitivity contrast to illumination between under heating and under no heating.

A transfer recording medium comprises a support and a recording layer formed thereon comprising at least a colorant and a functional component sensitive to provision of light energy and heat energy. The recording layer is composed to have a specifically high sensitivity selective to provision of both light energy and heat energy defined as follows. The adhesion force f.sub.1 between the support and the recording layer and the adhesion force f.sub.2 between the recording layer and a transfer-receiving medium such as plain paper satisfy the relations of f.sub.1 >f.sub.2 at a lower temperature and f.sub.1 f.sub.2 at the higher heated temperature when the recording layer is exposed to the light and then heated. Then, the recording layer provides f.sub.1
