Photosensitive article and process for transferring an image thereto.

摘要

A photosensitive article containing: (a) a lower photoresist layer sensitive to radiation in the wavelength range of about 300 to 1000 nm; and (b) a thermoplastic upper layer which is capable of being removed from the photoresist lower layer without affecting the photosensitivity of the lower photoresist layer. A process for transferring and developing an image involving the steps of: (a) producing a toned image on the surface of an electrophotographic element; (b) transferring the toned image to the thermoplastic layer of the inventive photosensitive article; (c) exposing the resulting photosensitive article with electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength in the range of 300 to 1000 nm; (d) removing the thermoplastic upper layer of the photosensitive article; and (e) developing the resulting image on the lower photoresist layer of the photosensitive article.
