VERFAHREN ZUR HERSTELLUNG VON FLACHDRUCKFORMEN

摘要

This invention relates to a process for the manufacture of an imaged article which comprises: (a) imagewise irradiating with laser light a material comprising a carrier having on a surface thereof a layer comprising at least one non-photosensitive material, and (b) removing non-irradiated areas of said layer by treating the layer with a developer in which said non-irradiated areas are soluble but in which irradiated areas are insoluble due to modification of said non-photosensitive material by the laser light.
