Abstract: A toner composition for electrostatic photography which comprises (A) toner powder comprising a base resin and a coloring agent and having an average particle size of not more than 30 microns and (B) silica powder coated on its surface with the base resin of the toner powder.

Abstract: A photo-sensitive composition for dry formation of image comprising a dyestuff having a photo-fading property, a ketonic sensitizing agent and a high molecular polymer as a binding agent, which can provide a visible image by the irradiation of light and maintain the image without any fixing treatment.

Abstract: Printing plate production apparatus wherein a latent image is formed at the surface of photoconductive insulating sheet, either by an optical system for effecting sheet exposure or by a laser emission scanning system which constitutes the terminal of a facsimile transmission system, this latent image is developed by toner particles, for example, which are applied on, but not fixed on the photoconductive sheet, the developed image is temporarily transferred onto a printing plate with which the photoconductive sheet is brought into pressure contact, and the printing plate carrying the developed image is exposed to light which may effect chemical changes in the printing plate to harden portion thereof unprotected by toner particles after which the printing plate receives treatment to remove toner particles and unhardened portions thereof.
