Abstract
The present invention is directed to an ink receptive film and methods of using the ink receptive film. The ink receptive film is generally suitable for etching patterns into substrates, and typically includes a photosensitive laminate structure containing at least an ink receptive, radiation transmissive layer; and at least one photosensitive resist layer.
Claims25
A photosensitive laminate structure comprising at least:
- a) an ink receptive, radiation transmissive layer;
- and
- b) at least one photosensitive resist layer.
The photosensitive laminate structure of 10, wherein the ink receptive, radiation transmissive layer comprises at least 25 dry weight percent calcium carbonate.
A method of forming a relief pattern in a photoresist substrate, the method comprising:
- a) providing a photosensitive laminate structure comprising at least an ink receptive, radiation transmissive layer, and at least one photosensitive resist layer formed into a single, photosensitive laminate;
- b) printing a pattern on the ink receptive, radiation transmissive layer;
- c) exposing the laminate to actinic radiation to modify the photosensitive resist layer;
- and
- d) removing a portion of the photosensitive resist layer corresponding to the pattern formed on the ink receptive, radiation transmissive layer.
