Wärmeempfindliches Aufzeichnungsmaterial und Verfahren zur Herstellung von Farbbildern

摘要

The present invention provides a method for obtaining an image comprising the steps of: image-wise exposing to intense radiation a heat mode recording material comprising on a support (i) a donor layer containing an image forming substance capable of being transferred upon heating to an image receiving material, (ii) a barrier layer being impermeable for said image forming substance and overlaying said donor layer, and (iii) a light-to-heat converting substance, capable of absorbing the light used for exposing said heat mode recording material and releasing the absorbed energy under the form of heat. rubbing, under dry conditions or with the aid of a non-solvent for the barrier layer, the thus obtained image-wise exposed heat mode recording material to remove said barrier layer at the exposed parts and overall heating the exposed heat mode recording material whilst in contact with an image receiving material thereby causing an image-wise transfer of said image forming substance to said image receiving material.
