Abstract
An image forming process comprises the steps of image-wise exposing to light a light-sensitive material, heating the light-sensitive material to develop the silver halide within the exposed area and to harden the hardening layer, and removing the light-sensitive layer and the unhardened area of the hardening layer from the light-sensitive material with an etching solution to form a replica image of the hardened area on the support. The light-sensitive material comprises a support, a hardening layer and a light-sensitive layer in this order. The hardening layer contains an ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable compound represented by the formula (I).
