Abstract:
A process for producing a thermally imagable business record which may be imaged to form multicolored images comprising the steps of:a) providing a substrate having first and second major surfaces, said substrate containing a first thermally imagable coating on said first surface, which when activated, forms a first color;b) desensitizing at least one selected area of said first surface of said substrate by applying a desensitizing composition in said selected area to form a desensitized area; andc) applying at least one additional thermally imagable coating over said desensitized area of said substrate, said at least one additional thermally imagable coating being activatable to form a second color which is different from said first color, wherein both of said first thermally imagable coating and said at least one additional thermally imagable coating are adapted to be activated in a single pass through a thermal printer.
