Abstract
Abstract A diazo-type developing process, for light sensitive imaging material comprising a diazonium compound, employs a developer solution including an azo coupler compound and sodium sulfite. Contacting the exposed diazo-type material with the solution converts the image-wise disposed light-sensitive diagzonium compound to a diazo sulfonate, and subsequent heating effects development of an azo dye image while drying the sheet. The developer solution is resistant to oxidation and exhibits an extended useful life.
