Abstract
A pattern is formed on a substrate by the process of providing a substrate having a surface with previously patterned features having a non-uniform electromagnetic reflectivity, applying a second image recording material to the surface, employing the features with a non-uniform physical property of reflectivity to delineate a desired pattern in the second image recording material and applying electromagnetic energy to take advantage of the reflectivity features to provide variable processing of the second material.
