Abstract
Abstract A silver halide photographic material comprising an aluminum support having thereon an anodized aluminum oxide layer and a light sensitive silver halide layer containing a silver halide developing agent thereon with a subbing layer containing at least either a silver halide or a developing agent suitable for a silver halide in an amount less than the quantity contained in the light-sensitive layer, which can be used to produce a relief image possessing high printing durability by successively receiving an image-wise exposure, an alkaline solution development, a washing-off and a drying.
