Abstract
A photosensitive transfer material is described, comprising a temporary support having formed thereon in sequence a thermoplastic resin layer, a separating layer having only slight permeability to oxygen, and a photosensitive resin layer, wherein the adhesion between the thermoplastic resin layer and the separating layer is weakest. The photosensitive transfer material is useful, for example, for an image-forming process.

A photosensitive transfer material comprising a temporary support having formed thereon in sequence a thermoplastic resin layer, a separating layer having only slight permeability to oxygen, and a photosensitive resin layer, wherein the adhesion between the thermoplastic resin layer and the separating layer is weakest.
An image-forming process, which comprises the steps of
- (a) adhering a photosensitive transfer layer of a photosensitive transfer material comprising
- a temporary support having formed thereon in sequence a thermoplastic resin layer, a separating layer having only slight permeability to oxygen, and a photosensitive resin layer, wherein the adhesion between the thermoplastic resin layer and the separating layer is weakest,
- to a permanent support while heating,
- (b) peeling off the temporary support and the thermoplastic resin layer,
- (c) pattern-exposing the photosensitive resin layer through the separating layer, and
- (d) developing the photosensitive resin layer to form images on the permanent support.
