Photothermograhpic image forming element

摘要

A photothermographic image forming element contains a non-photosensitive silver salt which has been formed by simultaneously adding and mixing previously prepared solutions of silver nitrate and an organic acid alkali metal salt. A photosensitive layer containing a photosensitive silver halide or a layer disposed adjacent thereto or both contain a nucleating agent. The element produces a low fog, high contrast image.
