| 摘要 |
This invention relates to an improvement in the process for the production of photocopies with two-component diazotype material which cannot be developed by the action of heat alone and which, during continuous passage through a photocopying machine, is first exposed imagewise to light emitted by a mercury lamp and is then exposed, for the purpose of development, to an ammonia/water mixture, in vapor form, in a development chamber, the improvement comprising employing light emitted from a gallium-modified or indium-modified mercury lamp for the imagewise exposure of the diazotype material, and exposing the diazotype material, which has been exposed to light, to an ammonia/water vapor mixture in the development chamber, said mixture in terms of vapor pressure being unsaturated and containing at most 25 per cent by weight of ammonia, at a temperature of about 105 to 120 DEG C and at a predetermined pressure. The invention also relates to an apparatus for performing the process. |
