Recording material
 A recording material comprising a thermosensitive recording layer (B) or a thermal dye transfer type image receiving layer (B') laminated on a surface layer (b) of a support (A), wherein the support (A) comprises the surface layer (b) comprising a uniaxially stretched thermoplastic resin film laminated onto a base layer (a), wherein the base layer (a) comprises a biaxially stretched film of a thermoplastic resin containing 10 to 45% by weight of an inorganic fine powder, and wherein said support (A) satisfies conditions (1) to (3): PA1 (1) the surface layer (b) of the support (A) comprises at least two layers: an outer layer (b.sup.1) comprising a uniaxially stretched film of a thermoplastic resin containing 0 to 30% by weight of an inorganic fine powder; and an inner layer (b.sup.2) comprising a uniaxially stretched film of a thermoplastic resin containing 30 to 80% by weight of an inorganic fine powder, wherein the thickness of the outer layer (b.sup.1) is 3 to 40% of that of the surface layer (b) and the thickness of the inner layer (b.sup.2) is 97 to 60% of that of the surface layer (b); PA1 (2) the thickness of the surface layer (b) is 0.5 to 30% of the whole thickness of the support (A); and PA1 (3) the support (A) has a density of not higher than 0.80 g/cm.sup.3, an opacity of at least 70%, an compression ratio of 15 to 35% under a stress of 32 kg/cm.sup.2 and a surface Bekk smoothness of 500 to 8,000 seconds.
