Abstract
Abstract A process for forming a colloid relief image on a substrate, comprising the steps of: (a) exposing to actinic light a sheet structure comprising a substrate having coated on one surface thereof a first layer comprising a colloid material capable of being tanned when contacted by oxidized silver halide developer, and coated over the first layer a second layer comprising a photographic silver halide emulsion, the emulsion containing substituted gelatin which is substantially resistant to tanning by the oxidized silver halide developers; (b) developing exposed sheet structure with oxidizable silver halide developers; and (c) washing the sheet structure with warm water, whereby all of the second layer is removed together with portions of the first layer which have not been tanned.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
A process for forming a colloid relief image on a substrate, comprising the steps of: a. exposing to actinic light a sheet structure comprising a substrate having coated on one surface thereof a first layer comprising a colloid material capable of being tanned when contacted by oxidized silver halide developer, and coated over said first layer a second layer comprising a photographic silver halide emulsion, said emulsion containing substituted gelatin, said substituted gelatin being substantially resistant to tanning by said oxidized silver halide developers; b. developing said exposed sheet structure with oxidizable silver halide developers; c. washing said sheet structure with warm water, whereby all of said second layer is removed from said sheet structure together with portions of said first layer which have not been tanned by contact with oxidized silver halide developers.
