PURPOSE: To provide a black-and-white or color, completely dry photosensitive and thermosensitive material producing no unnecessary waste product, not requiring the use of a developer, etc., particularly producing little coloring in the texture and having high sensitivity, and in the case of a multi-color recording material, producing no overlap in a photosensitive wavelength region of each layer.

CONSTITUTION: In a layer, a latent image is formed in a photosetting composition by exposure and a component relating to developing or vanishing color is transferred in a recording material by heating corresponding to the latent image to form a picture. A photosensitive and thermosensitive recording material is provided with the layer on its support and has a reflection density of ≤0.13 for ≥420nm and ≤720nm before exposure and has photosensitivity for light of at least ≥400nm and ≤420nm.
