(57) [Summary] [PROBLEMS] To provide a thermosensitive recording medium having excellent gloss and improved writability. SOLUTION: The heat-sensitive recording layer containing a basic colorless dye and an organic color developer as main components on a support, and the protective layer containing an inorganic pigment and a binder as main components further provided thereon. In the recording medium, the static friction coefficient specified in J.TAPPI No. 30-79 is 0.550 or more, the amplitude is less than 0.020, and the surface glossiness (incident angle) specified in JIS-P-8142 And a light receiving angle of 75 degrees) of 50% or more. |
