Abstract:
A thermally processed image forming material having a support, which comprises a first side and a second side, wherein:the first side has an image forming layer and an outermost layer containing a binder and the second side has an outermost layer containing a binder which is different from the binder of the outermost layer on the first side, the binder contained in the outermost layer on the first side and the binder contained in the outermost layer on the second side have a common monomer of less than 75 wt %, and the outermost layer on the first side contains a polymer latex in an amount of 50 wt % or more of the total binder contained in the outermost layer on the first side or the outermost layer on the second side contains a polymer latex in an amount of 50 wt % or more of the total binder contained in the outermost layer on the second side, wherein a ratio of a Vickers hardness of the binder contained in the outermost layer on the first side and a Vickers hardness of the binder contained in the outermost layer on the second side is within a range from 0.1 to 0.95, or within a range from 1.05 to 10.
