Abstract
Electrophotographic elements including near-infrared radiation absorbing sensitizers and selected near-infrared radiation absorbing additives exhibit a reduced tendency toward the formation of laser interference patterns. These elements can be utilized in electrophotographic imaging processes including the steps of electrostatically charging the element, imagewise exposing the charged element to near-infrared radiation to form an electrostatic latent image, developing the electrostatic latent image by applying charged toner particles to the element to produce a toned image, and transferring the toned image to a suitable receiver.
