Thermographic recording material with improved image tone

The present invention relates to thermographic recording materials whose prints have improved archival properties. A monosheet black and white substantially light-insensitive thermographic recording material comprising a thermosensitive element and a support, the thermosensitive element containing a substantially light-insensitive organic silver salt and an organic reducing agent therefor in thermal working relationship therewith and a binder, wherein the thermographic recording material comprises a reaction product of an amino-group containing polymer and a compound according to formula (I): wherein each of R, R, Rand Ris independently hydrogen or an optionally substituted alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, alkoxy or aryloxy group; L is a divalent linking group selected from the group consisting of oxygen and optionally substituted alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, alkenyl and alkynyl groups; and m is either 0 or 1; and n is either 0 or 1; and a preparation process therefor.
