Abstract
Positive-working imageable elements and methods for their preparation are disclosed. The elements comprise a hydrophilic substrate; a bottom layer, which contains a positive-working photosensitive composition; and a protective overlayer, which has an overlayer material that reduces the solubility of the photosensitive composition in an aqueous alkaline developer. The overlayer may be conveniently applied by a dip and rinse procedure.
