PURPOSE: To improve a coloring capacity and a strength of a recorded layer available after recording, by a method wherein resin having a light-curing property is used as binder of a heat-sensitive recording layer.

CONSTITUTION: A recording layer is constituted such that a heat-sensitive, light- sensitive layer containing diazosulfonate, a coupling agent, and resin which contains light-sensitive resin being cured by ultraviolet light are placed on a supporter. Setting of heat-sensitive record on the recording material is performed by irradiating a heat-sensitive, light-sensitive layer, whereon a heat-sensitive record is performed, with light which cures resin and light which resolves unlighted diazosulfonate. It is preferable that, in prior to perform heat-sensitive record, light-activation is conducted by irradiating with light which does not cure resin. Light-sensitive resin is selected as binder in a heat-sensitive, light-sensitive agent component, and curing is performed after heat-sensitive recording, which results in improving a printing quality and durability kept after recording.
