Abstract

The present invention is a multilayer imaging element which includes a support, one or more image-forming layers super posed on the support; and an outermost transparent electrically-conductive, non-charging, overcoat layer superposed on the support. The outermost transparent electrically-conductive, non-charging overcoat layer includes colloidal, electrically-conductive metal-containing granular particles, dispersed in a film-forming binder at a volume percentage of conductive metal-containing particles of from 20 to 80 and a first charge control agent which imparts positive charging properties and a second charge control agent which imparts negative charging properties.
