Abstract
According to the present invention a method is provided for obtaining an image comprising the steps of: information-wise exposing an imaging element comprising on a support a photosensitive layer containing a photopolymerizable composition and a base layer located between said support and said photosensitive layer and wherein said base layer is contiguous to said photosensitive layer and comprises a polymer containing polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated groups and transferring upon heating the non-hardened or insufficiently hardened parts of said photosensitive layer to an image receiving material. When the image receiving material contains a hydrophilic surface a lithographic printing plate can be obtained.
