A recording medium includes a recording layer configured to be able to change a color-developed state by an external stimulus and a plurality of structures provided on the recording layer. The recording layer has a plurality of color-developing portions, and a pitch Δd′ between the color-developing portions and a width W of each of the color-developing portions satisfy a relationship of Δd′>W.

A thermosensitive recording medium includes a support; a first underlayer disposed on or above the support; a second underlayer disposed on or above the first underlayer; and a thermosensitive recording layer disposed on or above the second underlayer. The second underlayer and the thermosensitive recording layer are formed by simultaneous curtain coating. Surface smoothness of a surface of the thermosensitive recording medium is 1,000 s or greater.

A laser printhead assembly for a laser printhead is disclosed herein. The laser printhead assembly may include a laser containment door; and a laser containment housing that is configured to form a sealed enclosure with a label support of a rewriteable label. The sealed enclosure may be configured to include the rewriteable label and the laser printhead. The laser containment door, in a laser-enabled position, may be configured to permit the laser printhead, via a light beam, to modify the rewriteable label and the laser containment door, in a laser-disabled position, may be configured to prevent a light beam from escaping the laser containment housing.

An object of the present invention is to provide a thermal recording material which is excellent in all of the following characteristics: plasticizer resistance, image stability against moisture and heat, the resistance to background fogging under moisture and heat, and the retention of color developing ability. Provided is a thermal recording material having, on a paper support, a heat-sensitive recording layer containing a colorless or light-colored dye precursor and a developer which reacts with the dye precursor on heating and converts the dye precursor to its colored form, the paper support containing 0.25 to 1.0% by mass of a neutral rosin sizing agent relative to the pulp solid content in combination with calcium carbonate and aluminum sulfate, the developer having a phenylureido moiety in its molecule.
