A method of improving the sensitometric response of a photosensitive imaging media under various humidity conditions including the steps of providing a photosensitive imaging media including an imaging layer comprising a developer material and a plurality of microcapsules encapsulating a photohardenable composition and a color former; image-wise exposing the imaging media to actinic radiation to form a latent image on the media; maintaining the imaging media containing the latent image at an elevated temperature; and developing the image.

Method for improving sensitometric response of photosensitive imaging media employing microcapsules

An exposure and pressure applicator device for use in printing an image onto an imaging media, containing photosensitive microcapsules comprising: an exposure means adjacent to the imaging media comprising at least one exposure-producing element which image-wise exposes the imaging media providing a latent image thereon; a pressure applicator means containing at least one point contact element to apply a uniform rupturing force to the exposed imaging media; and motive means for effectuating synchronous movement of both exposure means and pressure applicator means relative to the imaging media, are described.

Exposure and pressure applicator device for printing an image

A pressure developing apparatus is described for use in developing images in the image area of a photosensitive imaging sheet containing microcapsules, wherein the apparatus comprises:
