the oxygen barrier release layer releases from the carrier and clings to the photosensitive color layer after lamination to a receiver and subsequent removal of the carrier the release layer is coated onto the carrier using an aqueous solution of water soluble resins preferred water soluble resins non exclusively include alkyl ethers of cellulose polyvinyl alcohols and polyvinyl pyrrolidone the release properties of the layer can be controlled by the incorporation of a water soluble surfactant preferred surfactants non exclusively include alkylarylpolyether alcohols glycerin and ethoxylated castor oil in the preferred embodiment the surfactant is present in the release layer in the amount of 0 1 5 by weight of solids in the layer more preferably 0 5 2 other ingredients may be added such as mold inhibitors anti halation dyes filter dyes solvents wetting agents etc adjacent to the release layer is coated the photosensitive color layer which typically comprises a photopolymerizable oligomer colorant initiator system binders and other optional components such as wetting agents surfactants coating rheology modifiers optical brighteners plasticizers residual solvents etc the photosensitive color layer is coated onto the releasable surface of the carrier using a mixture of solvents which give rise to the best coating quality and solution stability representative solvents include ketones alkyl ethers or acetates of propylene glycol alkyl ethers or acetates of ethylene glycol dioxolane butyrolactone and alcohols the photopolymerizable oligomer.
