The invention provides a photostorage solid drawing medium comprising a
solvent, a resin soluble in the solvent, a photostorage pigment and a
gelling agent, wherein the photostorage pigment comprises a long
afterglow fluorescent substance comprising an alkaline earth
aluminosilicate as a matrix activated with a rare earth element wherein
the alkaline earth element is at least one selected from the group
consisting of strontium, calcium, magnesium and barium. The solvent used
