Abstract
Abstract A thermoplastic-deformable imaging system is provided which absorbs substantially all of the incident radiation which is not reflected from the thermoplastic-air interface of a thermoplastic deformable layer residing over an underlying photoconductive layer so as to eliminate secondary reflection from the thermoplastic-photoconductor interface. The thermoplastic deformable layer is provided with an absorbing pigment which substantially absorbs non-reflected radiation so that this radiation is not secondarily reflected.
