摘要:
A positive-working or negative-working radiation-sensitive mixture includes as an IR absorbing component a carbon black pigment having a primary particle size smaller than 80 nm. The carbon black pigment is predispersed in a polymer containing acidic units having a pK.sub.a of less than 13. The radiation-sensitive component may include an ester of (i) a 1,2-naphthoquinone-2-diazide-4-sulfonic acid or a 1,2-naphthoquinone-2-diazide-5-sulfonic acid and (ii) a compound having at least one phenolic hydroxyl group, such as 3 to 6 phenolic hydroxyl groups. After imagewise radiation exposure, the recording material including the radiation-sensitive mixture can be developed without difficulties in an aqueous alkaline solution without leaving residual coating on the areas that became soluble or that remained soluble upon exposure.

A process for producing negative copies is disclosed in which a light-sensitive or radiation-sensitive recording material comprising a layer support and a normally positive-working light-sensitive or radiation-sensitive layer applied thereto is irradiated imagewise, thermally treated, irradiated overall and then developed with an alkaline developer. Thermal treatment is carried out with water or with an aqueous solution, at temperatures in the range from about 50.degree. to 100.degree. C., preferably from 60.degree. to 90.degree. C., within a period of time varying between about 1 second and 5 minutes, preferably between 5 seconds and 1 minute, overall irradiation is performed on the optionally still hot recording material and development is thereafter carried out within a period of time varying between about 10 seconds and 2 minutes, preferably between 15 seconds and 1 minute. The process can be carried out according to the customary procedure known in the practice of positive processing, and results in perfect printing stencils.
