Abstract
The present invention relates to a recording material having a substrate and a negative-working, radiation-sensitive layer which contains a diazonium salt, metal-free colored pigments dispersed in an organic polymeric binder, transparent spacer pigments having a pore volume of more than 1.0 ml/g and a polymeric binder. The predispersal of the colored pigments is achieved by milling with an organic polymeric binder containing hydroxyl groups, some or all of which have been reacted with a di- or polycarboxylic anhydride so that the binder has an acid number of from 20 to 200. Printing plates in which the printing parts have a clearly visible contrast relative to the substrate can be produced from the recording material.
