disposed over the pigmented heat insulating material layer the article of the present invention is advantageously prepared by applying an elastic layer then an insulating layer and then a thermosensitive recording layer to the paper by sequential drawdowns of aqueous coating formulations in a preferred method of applying the elastic layer an aqueous dispersion of polymer particles having a compressive modulus in the range of from 10 3 pa preferably from 10 4 pa more preferably from 10 6 pa to 10 8 pa is applied to the paper substrate using a wire wound rod at controlled speed on a drawdown machine the coated paper is then advantageously dried at advance temperatures before the next layer is applied the polymer particles are preferably characterized by a core shell morphology wherein the core comprises from 80 more preferably from 85 and most preferably from 90 weight percent to preferably 98 and more preferably to 96 weight percent of the polymer particles and the shell comprises preferably from 2 more preferably from 5 weight percent to preferably 20 more preferably to 15 and most preferably to 10 weight percent of the polymer particles the core preferably comprises based on the weight of the core from 90 more preferably from 95 and most preferably from 98 weight.
