Abstract

The present invention provides an imaging element comprising on a support a hydrophilic layer containing a hydrophilic (co)polymer or (co)polymer mixture and having been hardened with a hydrolysed tetraalkyl orthosilicate and a light sensitive layer containing a diazo resin and/or a diazonium salt characterized in that the light sensitive layer comprises at least one diazo resin or diazonium salt containing or being a diazonium salt of p-aminodiphenylamine containing as substituent an alkyl or alkoxy group and the weight percentage of said diazonium salt(s) and/or diazo resin(s) containing or being a diazonium salt of p-aminodiphenylamine containing as substituent an alkyl or alkoxy group versus the total amount of diazo resin and/or diazonium salt ranges from 22 to 40%.
