Abstract: A process for the production of a heat-mode recording material by coating in a sealed zone maintained under vacuum conditions a web support with a heat-mode recording layer of vapor depositable material and within the sealed zone laminating a protective organic resin layer in web form by means of an adhesive layer onto the supported heat-mode recording layer. The web support moves within the sealed zone from a delivery reel to a take-up roll with the recording layer deposited thereon in a region between the rolls and the protective layer is laminated over the recording layer before the coated web support is collected on the take-up rolls.

Abstract: Photographic material comprising a supported or self-supporting binder layer incorporating a photoradical precursor compound in operative relationship with an image-forming precursor compound which is capable of taking part in image formation by reaction with the photoradicals formed by photoexposing said photoradical precursor, wherein the image-forming compound is a reducing compound containing Zerewitinoff active hydrogen for forming a print-out image or an ethylenically unsaturated compound capable of free-radical addition polymerization, and the photoradical precursor compound is a di- or tri(2,3-aryl substituted indolyl) compound free of Zerewitinoff active hydrogen.
