Abstract

A new photo- and heat-sensitive printing system has been developed. Full-colored and high-quality images can be printed quickly and easily by using this system. Images are printed by dry process using only one sheet of sensitive paper. No other materials are needed thus resulting in no waste. The noteworthy features of the newly developed sensitive paper are the chromogenic development using heat-sensitive microcapsules, the spectral sensitization by unique sensitizing dyes and borates, the photopolymerization of monomers functioning as color developers, and the bleaching of sensitizing dyes during fixing process. By laser irradiation, developers polymerized and lose ability to move into the capsules. In the unexposed area, however, developers are able to move into the capsules and change the precursors to dyes.
