Abstract: Microfilm structures of improved contrast are provided by coating a suitable transparent film substrate with an intermediate layer of a silicone elastomer which is abhesive to ink, coating said silicone with a surface layer of a photosensitive polymer which when exposed to activating electromagnetic radiation cross-links and chemically attaches to said silicone elastomer to form oleophilic ink accepting image areas, imagewise exposing said photosensitive polymer, removing the non-exposed, light sensitive polymer to form non-imaged areas of the abhesive silicone elastomer, and selectively inking the oleophilic image areas to form an imaged microfilm structure of improved image density and contrast.
