Abstract

A process for forming an image comprising imagewise exposing a light-sensitive element comprising a support having thereon at least a light-sensitive silver halide, a binder, and a dye providing substance which produces or releases a mobile dye corresponding or counter-corresponding to a reaction where said light-sensitive silver halide is reduced to silver at an elevated temperature, and subsequently or simultaneously heating said light-sensitive element in the presence of at least one of a base and precursor thereof, and thereby transferring said mobile dye thus produced or released to a dye fixing element, wherein a coated layer of said dye fixing element has been hardened with an epoxy hardener.
