Abstract: The present invention relates to a development material by means of a latent, colored image, obtained by laminating another, photopolymerizable material colored in a primary color onto an image-receiving material, peeling-off the film support and exposing the material under the associated negative color separation film, can be developed by laminating the development material onto the latent image and then peeling-off the development material together with the non-image areas. The invention also relates to a process for the production of a color proof using this development material in combination with photopolymerizable materials in the various primary colors.

Abstract: Water-dilutable dispersions of acrylate copolymers having a hydroxyl number of from 40 to 200 mg KOH/g and an acid number of from 15 to 50 mg of KOH/g, obtained by free-radical copolymerization ofa) from 5 to 40 parts by weight of at least one glycidyl ester of an .alpha.-branched aliphatic saturated monocarboxylic acid,b) from 0 to 30 parts by weight of at least one diester of an .alpha.,.beta.-olefinically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid,c) from 0 to 70 parts by weight of at least one vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon, the molar quantity of component c) always being greater than or equal to the molar quantity of component b),d) from 0 to 60 parts by weight of an alkyl ester of an .alpha.,.beta.-olefinically unsaturated carboxylic acid,e) from 2 to 40 parts by weight of at least one .alpha.,.beta.-olefinically unsaturated carboxylic acid, the molar quantity of component e) always being greater than the molar quantity of component a),f) from 5 to 40 parts by weight of at least one hydroxyalkyl ester of an .alpha.,.
