Abstract
Disclosed is a color image-formable material for forming and transferring a color image. The color image-formable material has a support, a cushion layer provided on the support and color light-sensitive layer containing a light-sensitive composition and a coloring agent provided on the cushion layer. It gives a transferred image by forming a color image portion by imagewise exposure and developing treatment and then transferring the color image portion alone to an image-receiving material. The cushion layer has a hardness of 40 to 85 and a thickness of 15 .mu.m to 100 .mu.m. A process for preparation of the color image-formable material is also disclosed.
