Abstract

The invention relates to a thermosensitive recording material, comprising a substrate ( 1 ), a thermosensitive recording layer ( 4 ) containing a colour former and colour acceptors, a protective layer ( 5 ) configured on the recording layer, whereby a coat ( 6 ) that covers the surface and is locally delimited is printed onto the protective layer. The invention also relates to the use of the inventive recording material as a ticket.

Claims (14)

1. A thermosensitive recording material, comprising:

a substrate,

a thermosensitive recording layer containing color formers and color acceptors,

an intermediate layer containing a pigment or pigment mixture formed between the substrate and the thermosensitive recording layer,

a protective layer formed on the recording layer, an area for receiving a stamped image being defined on a side of the protective layer facing away from the thermosensitive recording layer, and

a localized coating including printing ink having pigments applied to the protective layer, the localized coating covering the area for receiving a stamp, wherein 60–90% by weight of the printing ink in the localized coating comprises pigments having an oil absorption of at least 80 cm 3 /100 g, and wherein the pigment or pigment mixture in the intermediate layer has a higher oil absorption than that of the pigments in the printing ink of the localized coating.

2. The thermosensitive recording material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the applied printing ink in the localized coating comprises a polyester- or acrylic resin-containing binder.

3. The thermosensitive recording material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the protective layer is formed as a single layer.

4. The thermosensitive recording material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the protective layer has a smoothness of at least 900 Bekk seconds.

5. The thermosensitive recording material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the applied printing ink in the localized coating contains pigments having an oil absorption of at least 80 cm 3 /100 g.

6. The thermosensitive recording material as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a backing coating applied to a side of the substrate which is opposite the side with the thermosensitive recording layer.

7. The thermosensitive recording material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the substrate is paper.

8. The thermosensitive recording material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the thermosensitive recording material comprises a ticket.

9. The ticket thermosensitive recording material as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the localized coating in the area for receiving a stamp is arranged and dimensioned for receiving and retaining the application of at least one stamped image comprising a cancellation imprint.
