Abstract

Abstract A photographic process in which a photographic material containing in a layer on a support a mixture of the following compounds: 1. at least one ultraviolet-sensitive organic polyhalogen compound capable of producing a dye salt with a spiropyran compound on exposure with ultraviolet radiation, 2. at least one spirobi(arylpyran) compound, 3. N-vinylcarbazole, 4. at least one compound selected from the group consisting of furan, furylacrylic acid and 2-carboxyfuran, 5. at least one compound selected from the group consisting of 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidinone, benzalphenylhydrazone and 1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-4-pyrazolin-3-one, and 6. a polymeric compound containing N-vinylcarbazole units, Is image-wise exposed to ultraviolet radiation of an intensity sufficient to produce a print-out image and the exposed material is heated to stabilize the image and to increase its spectral density in the three primary color spectral regions.
