Abstract
Abstract A photosensitive element for preparing negative tonable images which comprises a support bearing a layer of a photosensitive composition comprising a thermoplastic binder, at least one dihydropyridine compound and at least one hexaarylbiimidazole compound. Optionally softeners and sensitizer can be present in the photosensitive layer. The photosensitive element is useful in preparing negative tonable images.
