Abstract
Abstract A PROCESS FOR MAKING A PRINTING MASTER WHEREIN A PHOTOCONDUCTIVE LAYER IS SELECTIVELY CHARGED TO A DESIRED AREA CONFIGURATION. THE CHARGED LAYER IS THEN IMMERSED IN AN EMULSION OF A CONDUCTING CONVERSION SOLUTION IN A NONCONVERTING NON-CONDUCTING LIQUID. IF THE SOLUTION IS OPPOSITELY CHARGED FROM THE AREA CONFIGURATION IT IS ATTRACTED TO THE CHARGED AREAS AND CONVERTS THEM WHILE THE NONCHARGED AREAS REMAIN UNCONVERTED. IF THE SOLUTION IS OF THE SAME CHARGE AS THE CHARGED AREAS, IT WILL BE REPELLED BY THEM AND THEY WILL REMAIN UNCONVERTED AND THE NONCHARGED AREAS, AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME, WILL BE CONVERTED.
