A multi-layered energy sensitive construction capable, upon imagewise exposure, of providing both positive and negative reproductions of an image by means of a delamination process and without wet development, comprises a transparent top layer 18, an energy sensitive layer 16 which generates a gas on exposure, a release layer 15, a resinous layer 14 which may contain a colorant and may possess adhesive properties, an optional adhesive layer 12 and an optional base support 10. On imagewise exposure, gas is generated in the exposed areas of layer 16 thus allowing the two supports to be stripped apart to produce a positive image on layer 18 and a negative image on support 10 (of Fig. 3) <IMAGE> |
