Abstract
Desclosed is a heat-developable image-recording material including a support on which are formed at least one image-forming layer and at least one protecting layer formed on top of said image-forming layer, the heat-developable image-recording material being developed by use of a heat development apparatus comprising a roller coming into a driving contact with a surface of the material on the side having the image-forming layer, the apparatus comprising a smooth surface coming into a sliding contact for transport with a surface of the material opposite to the surface on the side having the image-forming layer, wherein at the temperature where the development is carried out, the ratio is 1.5 or more of the coefficient of friction between the surface on the side having the image-forming layer and a surface of the roller of the heat development apparatus, to the coefficient of friction between the surface opposite to the surface on the side having the image-forming layer and the smooth surface of the heat development apparatus. The heat-developable image-recording material according to the present invention has a good transportability during heat development, does not cause any uneven treatment, and has excellent heat development properties.
