Abstract
A method of forming an image is disclosed comprising irradiating a heat-sensitive recording material with a laser beam, wherein the heat-sensitive recording material includes a support having provided thereon a light-absorbing layer containing microcapsules which encapsulate a core substance containing carbon black and a binder, and tranferring a latent image thus formed on the light-absorbing layer, in accordance with the pattern and amount of the laser beam irradiation, to an image-receiving film under pressure to thereby obtain a visible image on the image-receiving film.
