Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
160 words
An image forming process which comprises the steps of: exposing a photosensitive laminate composed of a peelable layer of an organic polymer and a photosensitive resin layer arranged on a temporary support to light; developing the photosensitive resin layer to form a transferable image on the peelable layer; transferring the transferable image onto an image receiving sheet material which comprises a photopolymerizable adhesive layer provided on a support via a peelable organic polymer layer; transferring said photopolymerizable adhesive layer and said image transferred on the image receiving sheet material onto a permanent support; removing the support of the image receiving sheet from said photopolymerizable adhesive layer and image on the permanent support; subjecting the photopolymerizable adhesive layer and image on the permanent support to a matting treatment at a temperature of 20°-180° C. and a pressure of 0.1-20 kg/cm 2 using a matt film; and exposing the matted photopolymerizable adhesive layer and image to light to cure the adhesive layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
56 words
The image forming process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the image laminated to the permanent support is further subjected to a matting treatment at a temperature of 60°-140° C. and a pressure of 0.1-10 kg/cm 2 using a matt film after removal of the support of the image receiving sheet, and then exposed to light.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
The image forming process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the peelable organic polymer layer of the image receiving sheet has a thickness of 0.1 to 4 μm.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
55 words
The image forming process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the peelable organic polymer layer comprises at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl chloride, a vinyl chloride copolymer, polyvinylidene chloride, a vinylidene chloride copolymer, polymethacrylate, polyacrylate, a methacrylate copolymer, an acrylate copolymer,a vinyl acetate copolymer, polyvinyl acetal resin and polyamide resin.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
The image forming process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the photosensitive resin layer contains a photosensitive material which releases nitrogen gas during photolysis.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
21 words
The image forming process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the photosensitive resin layer contains naphthaquinone diazide as a photosensitive material.
