Abstract

Photosensitive sheet material, containing an acid-cleavable adduct of an image-forming first reactant and a reaction inhibitor together with a photolyzable source of halogen acid, which upon exposure to a light-image liberates said first reactant for reaction with a second reactant to produce a visible image, contains a controlled small amount of an acid acceptor for reducing backgrounding and increasing contrast in the resulting print.
