Abstract
A self-contained photohardenable imaging assembly comprising a first transparent polymeric film support, an imaging layer comprising a plurality of photosensitive microcapsules, a developer material and an adhesion promoter, and a second support which may be transparent or opaque is disclosed. Upon image-wise exposure and image development, an image forms in the imaging layer sealed between the supports to form an integral unit having improved peel strength.
