Abstract
An improved thermally-responsive record material having improved image retention is disclosed. The invention is an improved thermally-responsive record member, typically a sheet material, bearing a thermally-responsive color-forming composition comprising a chromogenic material, an acidic developer material, and a metal salt of a compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.a is selected from --CH.dbd.CH, ##STR2## --(CH.sub.2).sub.4 --, --(CH.sub.2).sub.3 --, --(CH.sub.2).sub.3 --, --CH.sub.2 --CH.dbd.CH--, and --CH.sub.2 --wherein R.sub.1 is selected from hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, oxyalkyl, or NO.sub.2 with the proviso that the alkyl groups are of 1-5 carbons wherein M is a metal selected from Zn, Ca, Sn, Ni, Cu, Al, Co, and Mg.
