Abstract

Abstract A positive-working light-sensitive mixture for the preparation of printing plates, in particular planographic printing plates, and photoresists is described, which comprises an alkali-soluble binder, preferably a novolak, and an o-naphthoquinone diazide of the formula ##STR1## in which R 1 , R 1 ', R 2 and R 2 ' are identical or different and represent hydrogen, chlorine or bromine atoms, alkyl, alkoxy or alkoxyalkyl groups having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or alkenyl groups having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, R 3 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R 4 represents a hydrogen atom, an optionally substituted alkyl group, the carbon chain of which can be interrupted by ether oxygen atoms, an optionally substituted cycloalkyl group having 5 to 16 carbon atoms or an optionally substituted alkenyl group having 2 to 16 carbon atoms, n represents zero or an integer from 1 to 4 and D represents a 1,2-naphthoquinone-2-diazide-sulfonyl group. The new naphthoquinone diazides are distinguished by a high solubility in organic solvents and by good reprographic properties.
