Verfahren zur Herstellung von Kopien und Kopiermaterial

摘要

An imaging process is shown wherein a recording element having a photosensitive layer comprising a composition which, upon light exposure, is capable of producing silver nuclei is exposed to a light image to cause formation of said nuclei. Upon said nuclei is then deposited a nonnoble metal by electroless deposition from a solution comprising a nonnoble metal and a reducing agent selected from the group consisting of an amine borane, a borohydride, and a combination of an amine borane and a borohydride. Also shown are recording elements produced by this method.
