IMAGE-FORMING METHOD EMPLOYING LIGHT-SENSITIVE MATERIAL

摘要

IMAGE-FORMIMG METHOD EMPLOYING LIGHT-SENSITIVE MATERIAL An image-forming method comprises imagewise exposing a light-sensitive material comprising a light-sensitive layer containing silver halide, a reducing agent and a polymerizable compound provided on a paper support; and simultaneously or thereafter neat-developing the lightsensitive material to imagewise polymerize the polymerizable compound. Another image-forming method comprises: imagewise exposing a light-sensitive material comprising a light-sensitive layer containing silver halide and a dye providing substance provided on a paper support; and simultaneously or thereafter heat-developing the lightsensitive material to imagewise form or release a diffusible dye. The paper support comprises a coating layer containing a hydrophobic polymer provided on a base paper sheet, and the light-sensitive layer is provided on the coating layer. The light-sensitive material is heatdeveloped after removal of water from the base paper sheet.
