A method of recording an image by image-wise heating a recording material, said recording material comprising on the same side of a support, called the heat-sensitive side, (1) one or more layers comprising an imaging composition essentially consisting of (i) a substantially light-insensitive organic silver salt being in thermal working relationship with (ii) a reducing agent, and (2) at said same side covering said imaging composition a protective layer, characterized in that the image-wise heating proceeds with a thermal head contacting said heat-sensitive side and through said protective layer mainly comprising a cured polymer or cured polymer composition. |
