Abstract

A positive-working imageable element comprises inner and outer layers and an infrared radiation absorbing compound such as an IR absorbing dye. The inner layer includes a first polymeric material. The ink receptive outer layer includes a second polymeric binder comprising pendant carboxy groups that provides improved chemical resistance to the imageable element and reduced residue from development.
