Procedure

To 100 g of 2,4-dimethyldiphenylmethane obtained by the reaction between meta-xylene and benzyl chloride, having the following formula (b.p. 295°-296° C/760 mmHg, specific gravity (D420) 0.9951); ##STR3## was dissolved 3 g of crystal violet lactone. The resulting solution was then added to a solution of 20 g of gum arabic and 160 g of water to emulsify. Thereafter, 20 g of acid processed gelatin and 160 g of water were added thereto and the pH thereof was reduced to 5 by the addition of acetic acid under constant stirring. 500 g of water was then added to cause coacervation. On coacervation, a dense liquid membrane of gelatin-gum arabic was formed around the oil droplets containing a color former. The pH was further reduced to 4.4, and 4 g of 37 percent formation was successively added for hardening the membrane. Said operation was carried out keeping the temperature of the system at a temperature of 50° C. Then the system was cooled to 10° C in order to gel the dense liquid membrane. Furthermore, in order to raise the effect of hardening, the pH thereof was raised to 9 and the system was allowed to stand for several hours to accomplish the encapsulation. The capsule solution thus obtained was coated on a sheet of paper by air knife coating, then dried. The pressure sensitive recording paper thus obtained had no unpleasant smell like that of the conventional pressure sensitive recording paper wherein chlorinated diphenyl was used as a solvent. When this paper (upper paper) was superposed on a clay paper (aforesaid lower paper coated with active clay substance) and writing was conducted with pressure, there was developed a blue image on a clayed paper in an instant. The density of this color developed image was remarkably high compared with that of the conventional pressure sensitive recording paper. In addition, even when this upper paper was exposed to sun light for a long time, the lowering in the color developing ability and colored fog were not recognized.
