Ye. Usanov et al., Sensitometric consequences of pre-exposure heating on thermally developed photographic materials (TDPM), J IMAG SC T, 45(3), 2001, pp. 267-269
Reduction of sensitometric image parameters of two-layer thermally develope
d photographic materials, subjected to pre-exposure heating, is connected w
ith the presence of toners in the photolayer. It is shown that incorporatin
g the developing agent in the photolayer and the toners in the protective l
ayer improves sensitometric image parameters of such materials. Mechanisms
for the effects are discussed.
