Abstract
A method for forming images on a non-reactive substrate such as paper or plastic film is disclosed, comprising the steps of: image-wise exposing an imaging sheet, said imaging sheet comprising a support having a layer of photosensitive microcapsules on the surface thereof, said microcapsules containing a photohardenable or photosoftenable composition including a photoinitiator, and a color precursor; assembling said image-wise exposed imaging sheet with a developer sheet; subjecting said assembly to a uniform rupturing force to cause said photosensitive microcapsules to rupture and transfer an image-wise pattern of said color precursor to said developer sheet thereby forming an image thereon; separating said imaging sheet from said developer sheet; assembling said image-bearing developer sheet with a non-reactive substrate to form a second assembly; and subjecting said second assembly to heat and a uniform force to laminate said image bearing developer sheet to said non-reactive substrate.
