Abstract
Positive-working imageable elements comprise a radiation absorbing compound and inner and outer layers on a substrate having a hydrophilic surface. The inner layer comprises a polymer that is removable using an alkaline developer and in which from about 1 to about 50 mol % of its recurring units are derived from one or more of the ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable monomers represented by the following Structure (I):CH═C(R)C(═O)NR(CRR)OH   (I)wherein R, R, R, and Rare independently hydrogen, lower alkyl, or phenyl, and n is 1 to 20. The imageable elements having improved resistance to development and printing chemicals and solvents.
