Composite, mask-forming, photohardenable elements

摘要

A composite, photohardenable element comprising in intimate surface contact (a) a resist layer, photohardenable by exposure to actinic radiation and; (b) a soluble layer comprising a macromolecular organic polymer and at least one ultraviolet absorbent dye or pigment. In the preferred elements, the layers are disposed between and adherent to a cover sheet and a support film, respectively.
