or a method of using such a material to form a record. The formation
phenomenon is one of the following: (a) The chemical decomposition
of a colorless substance to form a substance having color; (b) the
chemical combination of two or more colorless chemical moieties
to produce a substance having color; (c) The further chemical change
of (a) or (b) above, to form a color different from an original
color; and (d) The chemical or physico-chemical complementarity between
the bottom surface of one sheet of a record receiver and the top
