Abstract

An image-forming process comprises the steps of: forming an ink-receiving area and an ink-repelling area on a light-sensitive material by imagewise exposure; pressing on the ink-receiving area and ink-repelling area of the material an ink sheet comprising a support and an ink layer composed of a colorant and a polymer binder; removing the ink sheet from the material so that the ink layer of the ink sheet is transferred only onto the ink-receiving area of the material; pressing an image receiving sheet on the ink-receiving area having the ink layer and the ink-repelling layer of the material; and separating the image receiving sheet from the material so that the ink layer in the ink-receiving area is transferred onto the image receiving sheet. A similar image-forming process using a resist ink sheet is also disclosed.
