An imaging sheet used for achieving color balance in a full-color imaging system is disclosed. The sheet is characterized by utilizing three sets of microcapsules, each containing a different colorless image-agent and a photohardenable or photosoftenable composition, and a corrective dye associated with the substrate. Association of the corrective dye with the substrate achieves color balance by equalizing the speed of the different colorless color-forming microcapsules.

Imaging sheet for achieving color balance

The present invention provides a photosensitive material having a support, a layer containing opacifying agent, a layer containing microcapsules and a layer of developer material. The layer containing opacifying agent, the layer containing microcapsules and the layer of developer material are positioned such that upon rupturing the microcapsules, the color former diffuses to the developer material layer to form an image in the developer material layer. The final image is viewed against the opacifying agent.
