Abstract

A 2-diazo-1,2-quinone compound having a substituent group containing an alkyl group which is substituted by at least one fluorine atom is described. This compound has a capacity to change its polarity when exposed to light. The invention also provides an image forming material in which the invention compound is added to at least one of laminated layers. When these laminated layers are exposed to light, the adhesiveness of the compound-containing layer to its adjoining layer is reduced effectively due to the polarity-changing ability of the compound, thus making the easy delamination of the layers possible. This compound is applicable to many instances in which image receiving sheets are used, such as the formation of a multi-color image by a transfer method (a color proof, for example) and the preparation of a printing plate of the delamination development type.

Claims1

Dependent claims

A method of improving delamination in an image forming material, wherein said material comprises a base support, at least an image receiving layer provided on said base support, a layer adjacent to the image receiving layer, wherein the layer adjacent is provided between the image receiving layer and the base support, wherein the image receiving layer contains a developed image, and wherein at least the image receiving layer contains a 2-diazo-1,2-naphthoquinone compound, wherein the 4-position of said compound is substituted by a substituent group represented by formula (II):

--SO.sub.2 --O--R.sup.3 (II)
wherein R.sup.3 represents a substituent group containing an alkyl group which has 2 to 20 carbon atoms and is substituted by at least 3 fluorine atoms;
said method comprising:
a) laminating a permanent support on the image receiving layer containing the developed image;
and
b) delaminating the layer adjacent to the image receiving layer from the image receiving layer after a flood exposure through the base support to transfer the image receiving layer containing the developed image to the permanent support.
