Abstract

A heat-sensitive recording material comprising a substantially transparent support and a heat-sensitive recording layer formed on one side thereof, wherein the thermal recording energy required for increasing the transmission density of recorded areas as measured with a Macbeth transmission densitometer TD904 (visual filter) to a value higher by 0.1 than the transmission density of non-recorded areas is from 10 mJ/mm.sup.2 to 40 mJ/mm.sup.2, and the energy required for obtaining a transmission density of 2.5 in recorded areas as measured with a Macbeth transmission densitometer TD904 (visual filter) is from 80 mJ/mm.sup.2 to 130 mJ/mm.sup.2. The recording material provides a highly precise gradated image using a conventional thermal head.
