Abstract
A process for the production of a protective layer or a relief image on a substrate, wherein a radiation-sensitive layer, consisting of a solid film-forming epoxy resin containing a photoinitiator, which can be activated by radiation, for the polyaddition reaction, is transferred from a support to a substrate, then exposed directly or under a photomask and hardened by the action of heat, after which, if appropriate, the unexposed parts are developed with a solvent. The process is suitable, for example, for the production of printed circuits, solder resist masks and offset printing plates.
