Description: The present invention relates to an electrophotographic colour proofing element, in particular an improvement in a photoconductive layer of the electrophotographic element for color proofing (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a light-sensitive material). PS plates have dominantly been used for multi color printing because of their excellence in quality, printing durability, dimensional stability and resistance to contamination. PS plates are formed by applying a photosensitive layer containing a diazo resin or o-quinone diazide as a main component onto an aluminum substrate whose surface has been treated to improve hydrophilic property thereof. The PS plates are exposed to UV rays through a color-separated and half tone film, developed to remove the photosensitive layer in non-image areas to expose the surface of the hydrophilic aluminium plate, whereby, printing plates are obtained. A multicolor image can be obtained by mounting each printing plate prepared by the above process for each color on a printing machine and printing using an ink corresponding to each color on a sheet of same printing paper. After it is comfirmed that a series of processes of editing, plate making and printing such as input of characters, layout, color designation, etc., are conducted as designated, and that there is no difference between color tone reproduction, etc. obtained and one designated by an orderer, necessary corrections are made and then, a next step or regular printing is conducted. This step is called press correction. The former is called "first proof", and it is conducted for the purpose of checking each process in a printing company as mentioned above. The latter is called "second proof", and it is conducted to provide a sample for obtaining an acceptance by the orderer. The second proof is conducted in almost the same manner as one for regular printing, including the kind of inks and printing paper to be used. Proof printing using regular printing paper to be used in regular printing is called "regular correction". Colar designation and tone reproduction of color photograph should be confirmed and corrected for each color. Especially, the proof for the orderer is generally conducted several times repeatedly. Proof printing in the prior art is conducted using a color separated and half tone film to be used in regular printing, and a PS plate which is relatively low in cost and printing durability, for example, with the proof press, whose mechanism is similar to a press machine, of the name of "the flat bed four color proof press" made by DAINIPPON SCREEN Co., Ltd. The method mentioned above is called "press proof" but is not convenient, since it takes much time to prepare, and requires skill for an operation, and is difficult to keep quality constant. There have been proposed some methods for color proofing which do not use the proof press having mechanism similar to a press machine, and therefore are easier to conduct and stable in printing. They are preferably used because of the advantages such as easier operation and repetition stability after being used repeatedly. It is called "off press proof", and typical manners and systems thereof are disclosed in Bulletin of the Printing Society of Japan 24 , No.3, page 32 (1989). Examples of the systems include systems available in the trade names of "COLOR ART" by Fuji Photo Film Co.,Ltd., "CROMALIN" by Dupont, and "MATCHPRINT" by 3M. The systems use a color separation film, but do not use the proof press mentioned above. The color separation film is generally obtained with a color scanner. The scanner reads data from original, and conducts color separation, formation of half tone, and tone reproduction control to output digital data. A silver halide film is scan-exposed with laser beams modulated by the digital data, developed, fixed and dried to obtain a color separated film. Recently, an electronic plate making system called "total color scanner" has been developed and been utilized. Procedures up to retouching or plate collecting can be conducted in said system. For said system, it is required that resultant quality should be judged more rapidly in first proof. Efficiency of system will be seriously lowered, if resultant qualities such as a manner, a layout, a propriety of quality of color separation for some patterns, tone reproduction are judged after output to color separation film, and the preparation of press proof or off press proof as prior proofing. Since an image data in the system is available as a digital information, some direct digital color proof systems which do not use the prior proofing have been proposed. Details thereof are described in "Printing Information", April, page 2 et seq.(1991). Examples of such systems include a silver halide system, an electrostatic toner system (a wet electrophotographic system), an ink-jet system and a thermal sublimation transfer system. Among them, the wet electrophotographic system is especially excellent in precision, image quality, tone reproduction, and for the fact that any type of paper can be used for the system so that regular paper correction can be conducted, since in the system, a photoconductive element is charged, exposed to laser beam and developed with a color toner comprising a pigment dispersed in an electrically insulating liquid for each of four colors, i.e. cyan, magenta, yellow and black and then, a toner image is transferred. However, it is quite difficult to transfer a toner image from the surface of the photosensitive plate directly to regular paper. JP-A-2-272469 discloses a technique which has solved such problems, but requires several steps. There has been proposed to provide a releasable transfer layer on the surface of the photosensitive element, to form a toner image on the transfer layer and to transfer the image together with the transfer layer to regular paper in JP-A-61-174557 (JP-B-2-43185), JP-A-1-112264, JP-A-1-281464, and JP-A-3-11347. The system disclosed in JP-A-61-174557 which is the only one practically used, is exposed to light from the side of a transparent substrate (a polyethylene terephthalate film), and it requires a transparent photoconductive layer, which is not reusable, and therefore expensive. JP-A-1-112264 and JP-A-1-281464 disclose an image forming method or a color printing method which uses a photosensitive paper comprising a photosensitive element on which a releasable layer and an adhesive layer are applied in that order, and which is characterized in that a toner image is developed and transferred to plain paper with the releasable layer. However, it is difficult to form such a photosensitive layer uniformly with a practical size and it is also difficult to transfer a toner image without damage. The same will apply to the method which uses a recording medium wherein a releasable overcoating layer is applied onto a photoconductive layer disclosed in JP-A-3-11347. EP-A-186 172 discloses an electrophotographic element for color proofing comprising e.g., a photoconductive layer and a dielectric support releasably adhered thereto. The photoconductive layer may contain release addenda, e.g., certain block copolyesters of polysiloxanes. An object of the present invention is to provide an electrophotographic material for color proofing wherein the problems mentioned above are solved. Another object of the present invention is to provide a proof without color drift and with excellent precision and image quality easily and constantly. A further object of the present invention is to provide a photoconductive layer which is easily prepared with low cost and has stable electrophotographic property. A still further object of the present invention is to provide an electrophotographic material for color proofing wherein a toner image is easily transferred with a simple transfer apparatus, and a proof can be prepared on any type of transfer paper. The problems mentioned above are solved according to the present invention by an electrophotographic colour proofing element which comprises a substrate, a photoconductive layer comprising a binder resin, and a transfer layer in this order, said material being useful for preparing a colour proof in a process wherein at least one colour toner image is electrophotographically formed on the transfer layer and then transferred together with said transfer layer to a sheet material to prepare the colour proof, wherein said binder resin comprises a polymer (P) and/or polymer particles (L) which contain units having fluorine atom(s) and/or silicon atom(s) at least in the region near the surface facing said transfer layer and the surface of said photoconductive layer which contacts with the transfer layer has a tack strength of not more than 1.47 N (150 gram·force), which is measured by Pressure Sensitive Tape and Sheet Test of JIS Z0237-1980, wherein said polymer (P) is a block-copolymer comprising a polymer segment (X) which contains not less than 50% by weight, based on the segment (X), of said units having fluorine atom(s) and/or silicon atom(s) and a polymer segment (Y) which contains not more than 20% by weight, based on the segment (Y), of said units wherein said polymer particles (L) comprises a polymer segment (X') which contains not less than 50% by weight, based on the segment (X'), of said units having fluorine atom(s) and/or silicon atom(s) and a polymer segment (Y') which contains not more than 20% by weight based on the segment (Y'), of said units, wherein said polymer segment (Y) contains units having at least one photo- and/or thermosetting group, and wherein said polymer segment (X') in said polymer particle (L) is insoluble in a non-aqueous solvent and said polymer segment (Y') in said polymer particles (L) is soluble in a non-aqueous solvent. The transfer layer preferably contains a thermoplastic resin. Preferably, the photoconductive layer or the layer closest to the transfer layer (if the photoconductive layer comprises at least two layers) contains binder (Q) which is different from Polymer (P) and/or at least one photosetting and/or thermosetting agent. The photo-setting and/or thermosetting agent is as a compound, an oligomer or polymer which can be cured by at least one of light and heat to crosslink the binder (Q) and/or the polymer (P), which is known in the art. Preferably, the polymer (P) may be contained in the amount of 1 to 30 % by weight based on the total weight of binders (including the polymer (P) which are present in the photoconductive layer). The present invention further relates to a process for forming a color proof wherein at least one color toner image is electrophotographically formed on the electrophotographic colour proofing element of the present invention. Description of the drawings Figure 1 illustrates schematically a heat transfer apparatus used in the present invention. Figure 2 illustrates Schematically a process for preparing color proof by heat transfer of an electrophotographic material for color proofing of the present invention to regular printing paper after developing. 1 is a metallic roller coated by a rubber; 2 is a built-in heater; 3 is a means for detecting a surface temperature; 4 is a temperature controller; 5 is the electrophotographic material for color proofing; 6 is a toner image consisting of 4 color-separated images; 7 is a regular paper for printing; 8 is a transfer layer; 9 is a photoconductive layer; 10 is a conductive substrate; 11 is the polymer (P) or the polymer particle (L). When the electrophotographic element (material) for color proofing of the present invention is used for preparing a color proof, a multi-color toner image formed electrophotographically is transferred together with the transfer layer to a sheet material to prepare the color proof. The presence of the polymer (P) and/or the polymer particle (L) in the region near the surface facing the transfer layer imparts releasability from the transfer layer to the photoconductive layer. Such releasability was evaluated by tack strength measured by Pressure Sensitive Tape and Sheet Test of JIS Z0237-1980. The tack strength must be not more than 1.47 N (150 gram · force (g · f)), preferably not more than 0.98 N (100 g · f), especially not more than 0.49 N (50 g · f) in order to obtain good releasability of the photoconductive layer. Pressure Sensitive Tape and Sheet Test of JIS Z0237-1980 is conducted using the electrophotographic material for color proofing of the present invention wherein the transfer layer is formed on a test plate and a pressure sensitive tape (6 mm wide) is used for measuring at a peeling rate of 120 mm/min. Tack strength is calculated by converting the value measured with the tape of 6 mm width to the value for a tape of 10 mm width. A photoconductive layer of the present invention may be any layer wherein a photoconductive compound is dispersed in a binder (i.e. a binder resin). Namely, there may be used a single layer type consisting of only one layer wherein a photoconductive compound is dispersed or a multilayer type (or function separated type) comprising a charge generating layer comprising a photoconductive compound dispersed therein and a charge transporting layer. It is most important in the invention that the region near the surface facing the transfer layer contains the specific resin or particle mentioned above. In the present invention, a polymer coating solution containing a polymer (P) or polymer particle (L) containing units having fluorine and/or silicon atoms in a binder resin is applied to a substrate to prepare a photoconductive layer. While the coating is dried, the polymer (P) or polymer particle (L) easily migrates to the top surface of the photoconductive layer and concentrates there to impart releasability to the surface. Block copolymer (P) is used to obtain such an effect. In addition, when polymer (P) containing a segment (X) containing units having a fluorine atom and/or a silicon atom and the other segment (Y) is employed, the other segment (Y) (which contains little, if any, units having fluorine atom(s) and/or silicon atom(s)) has sufficient compatibility with the binder to inhibit migration of the polymer to the transfer layer, and keeps the interface between the transfer layer and the photoconductive layer clear (namely, it has an anchor effect). Further, the polymer particle (L) moves and is concentrated by the action of polymer segment (X') which is not soluble in a nonaqueous solvent. Further, polymer segment (Y') of the polymer particle which is soluble in the nonaqueous solvent interacts with the binder, the anchor effect is achieved, and therefore the migration of the polymer to the transfer layer is inhibited. Further, when the binder (Q) comprises photo- and/or thermosetting groups, or preferably photo and/or thermosetting agents, both the copolymer (P) (the polymer segment (Y) thereof) and the binder (Q) are cured by light or heat and the above mentioned orientation of the polymer can be fixed. As the result, further migration of the copolymer (P) to the transfer layer is inhibited while the transfer layer is coated to keep the interface between the transfer layer and the photoconductive layer clear. Further, a solvent for coating the transfer layer may be selected depending on the kind of thermoplastic resin used in the transfer layer. However, since some solvents have solvating ability with a binder of the photoconductive layer, the distribution of the dispersed polymer (P) or polymer particle (L) in the photoconductive layer may be affected by the solvent for coating the transfer layer and have a bad influence on electrophotographic properties (background contamination, deterioration of image quality) The photoconductive layer of the present invention solves the above problem by crosslinking of binders therein to add solvent resistance. The polymer (P) is the following block copolymer: A block copolymer (P 1 ) which contains a polymer segment (X 1 ) containing not less than 50 % by weight of said units having fluorine atom(s) and/or silicon atom(s) and a polymer segment (Y 1 ) containing units having at least one photosetting and/or thermosetting group; A star type copolymer (P 2 ) which contains at least three AB type block polymer chains consisting of a polymer segment (X 2 ) containing not less than 50 % by weight of said units having fluorine atom(s) and/or silicon atom(s) and a polymer segment (Y 2 ) containing said units having at least one photosetting and/or thermosetting group, and said at least three polymer chains are bonded through organic groups (Z); A graft copolymer (P 3 ) comprising a polymer segment (X 3 ) containing not less than 50 % by weight of said units having fluorine atom(s) and/or silicon atom(s) and a polymer segment (Y 3 ) containing said units having at least one photosetting and/or thermosetting group. An AB type or ABA type block copolymer (P 4 ) comprising a polymer segment (X 4 ) containing not less than 50 % by weight of said units having fluorine atom(s) and/or silicon atom(s) and a polymer segment (Y 4 ) containing said units having at least one photosetting and/or thermosetting group, and said polymer segment (X 4 ) contains the following graft type polymer segment (X 4 ') and/or said polymer segment (Y 4 ) contains the following graft type polymer segment (Y 4 '): Graft type polymer segment (X 4 '): a polymer segment which has 1 × 10 3 ∼ 2 × 10 4 of weight-average molecular weight, and comprises at least one mono-functional macromonomer (M A ) which contains not less than 50 % by weight of said units having fluorine atom(s) and/or silicon atom(s); Graft type polymer segment (Y 4 '): a polymer segment which has 1 × 10 3 ∼ 2 × 10 4 of weight-average molecular weight, and comprises at least one one-functional macromonomer (M B ) which does not contain said units having fluorine atom(s) and/or silicon atom(s).

Examples of the polymer (Q) are described in the following literatures: Takaharu Shibata, Jiro Isiwatari, Polymer, 17, p.278 (1968), Seiji Miyamoto, Hidehiko Takei, Imaging, 1973 , (No.8), Koichi Nakamura, "Practical Techniques or Binder for Recording Materials".

Tatt, S. C. Heidecker, Tappi, 49 , (No. 10), 439 (1966), E. S. Baltazzi, R. G. Blanclotte et al, Phot. Sci. Eng. 16 , (No.5), 354 (1972), Guen Chan Kei, Isamu Shimizu, Eiichi Inoue, Journal of Society of Electrophotographics of Japan, 18 , (No. 2), 22, (1980). Examples of the binder Q include: olefin polymer and copolymer, vinyl chloride copolymer, vinylidene chloride copolymer, vinyl alkanoic acid polymer and copolymer, allyl alkanoic acid polymer and copolymer, butadiene-unsaturated carboxylate copolymer, acrylonitrile copolymer, methacrylonitrile copolymer, styrene-acrylate copolymer, styrene-methacrylate copolymer, itaconic acid diester polymer and copolymer, maleic anhydride copolymer, acrylamide copolymer, methacrylamide copolymer, hydroxy modified silicone resin, polycarbonate resin, ketone resin, polyester resin, silicone resin, amide resin, hydroxy- and carboxyl-modified polyester resin, butyral resin, polyvinylacetal resin, cyclized rubber-methacrylate copolymer, cyclized rubber-acrylic ester copolymer, copolymer having heterocycle which does not have a nitrogen atom (heterocycle may be furan, tetrahydrofuran, thiophene, dioxane, dioxofuran, lactone, benzofuran, benzothiophene and 1,3-dioxetane) and epoxy resins. The unit having photo and/or thermosetting groups is preferably contained in the binder in an amount of 0.1-40 % by weight, more preferably 1-30 % by weight based on the weight of the binder. An amount of less than 0.1 % by weight may result in insufficient cure after coating. Then, it leads to insufficient retention of the interface between the photoconductive layer and the transfer layer to adversely affect the releasability of the transfer layer. An amount of more than 40 % by weight may result in insufficient electrophotographic properties, and it sometimes causes a lowering of the reproductivity of original images and occuring of background contamination. The binder (Q) is preferably contained in an amount of not less than 40 % by weight based on the weight of all binders of the photoconductive layer. An amount of less than 40 % by weight may result in insufficient electrophotographic properties. The following description illustrates a preferable embodiment of the polymer particle (L) used in the present invention. The polymer particle (L) comprises the polymer segment(s)(X') which is insoluble in nonaqueous solvent and contains the units having fluorine atom(s) and/or silicon atom(s) and the polymer segment(s) (Y') which is soluble in nonaqueous solvent and contains 0 to 20 % by weight of the units having fluorine atom(s) and/or silicon atom(s). Average size of the particles is not more than 1 µm. Examples of methods for preparation of particle (L) are anhydrous system polymerization method described in the following literatures: K. E. J. Barrett "Dispersion Polymerization in Organic Media": John Wiley (1975), Koichiro Murata, Polymer Processing, 23, 20 (1974), Tsunetaka Matsumoto, Toyokichi Tange, Jounal of Japan Adhesive Society, 23 , 26 (1987), D. J. Walbridge, NATO. Adv. Study Inst. Ser. E. No. 67, 40 (1983), GB-A 893429 and 934038, US-A-1122397, 3900412 and 4606989, JP-A-60-179751, 60-185963 and 2-13965 etc. Nonaqueous solvents used in the preparation of the polymer particle dispersible in nonaqueous solvent system may be any organic solvent having not more than 200°C of boiling point. They may be used either solely or as combination thereof. Examples of the organic solvents include: alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, fluoroalcohol and benzylalcohol, ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone, diethylketone, ethers such as diethylether, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, esters of carboxylic acids such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate and methyl propionate, aliphatic hydrocarbons having 6 to 14 carbon atoms such as hexane, octane, decane, tridecane, cyclohexane and cyclooctane, aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene and chlorobenzene, halogenated hydrocarbons such as methylene chloride, dichloroethane, tetrachloroethane, chloroform, methyl chloroform, dichloropropane and trichloroethane. However, solvents used in the present invention are not limited to above exemplified solvents. Preparing the polymer particles by dispersion polymerization in the above nonaqueous solvent, polymer particles which have average particle size of not more than 1 µm can be obtained, and particle sizes of them results in a narrow range, and dispersion thereof is monodisperse. The monomer (A) corresponding to the unit for the segment (X') and the monomer (B) corresponding to the unit for the segment (Y') are thermally polymerized in a solvent which dissolves monomer (A), but does not dissolve the resultant polymer in the presence of polymerization initiators such as peroxides (such as benzoyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide), azobis compounds (such as azobisisobutyronitrile, azobis isovaleronitrile) and organometallic compounds (such as butyl lithium) to prepare the polymer particle (L). Alternatively, the monomer (A) and the polymer (PY) which comprises the block segment (Y) are polymerized as mentioned above. The segment (X') may have crosslinked parts which constitutes insoluble part of the particle (L). Crosslinking is conducted by any known method. Examples for the methods include: (a) a method wherein the polymer containing the polymer segment (X') is crosslinked with an appropriate crosslinking agent or curing agent; (b) a method wherein a network structure in polymer molecules is formed by adding polyfunctional monomer or polyfunctional oligomer having two or more polymerizable functional groups to monomers corresponding to the polymer segment (X'); (c) a method wherein a monomer corresponding to the polymer segment (X') and a monomer containing a crosslinking functional group are reacted upon polymerization to form a crosslinking structure or a method wherein the polymer containing the polymer segment (X') and a polymer which contains a component containing a crosslinking functional group are reacted by the polymer reaction to form a crosslinking structure. Examples of crosslinking agents used in the above method (a) are described in the following literatures: Shinzo Yamashita, Tosuke Kaneko, "Cross Linking Agent Handbook", published by Tiseisha, (1981); Polymer Society of Japan, "Polymer Handbook, (fundamentals)", published by Baifukan (1986). Examples of crosslinking agents include: organic silane compounds (such as silane coupling agent of vinyl trimethoxy silane, vinyl tributoxy silane, γ-glycidoxy propyl trimethoxy silane, γ-mercapto propyl triethoxy silane, γ-aminopropyltriethoxy silane), polyisocyanate compounds (such as toluylene diisocyanate, o-toluylene diisocyanate, diphenylmethane diisocyanate, triphenylmethane triisocyanate, polymethylenepolyphenyl isocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, polymeric polyisocyanate), polyols (such as 1,4-butanediol, polyoxypropyleneglycol, polyoxyalkyleneglycol, 1,1,1-trimthylolpropane), polyamines (such as ethylenediamine, γ-hydroxy propyl ethylenediamine, phenylene diamine, hexamethylene diamine, N-aminoethylpiperazine, modified aliphatic polyamine), polyepoxy group containing compounds and epoxy resins (such as compounds described in Hiroshi Kakiuchi, "Novel Epoxy Resins", Shokodo, (1985), Kuniyuki Hashimoto, "Epoxy Resins", Nikkan Kogyo Newspaper Company,(1969)), melamine resins (such as compounds described in Mitsuwa Ichiro, Hideo Matsunaga, "Urea Melamine Resins", Nikkan Kogyo Newspaper Company, (1969)) and poly(metha)acrylate compounds (such as compounds described in Haranobu Okawa, Takeo Saegusa, Toshinobu Higasimura, "Oligomer", Kodansha, (1976), Eizo Omori, "Functional acrylic resin", Technosystem, (1985)). Examples of the polymerizable functional groups of polyfunctional monomers (polyfunctional monomer (D)) or polyfunctional oligomers having not less than two polymerizable functional groups used in the method (b) include: CH 2 =CH-CH 2 -, CH 2 =CH-CO-O-, CH 2 =CH-, CH 2 =C(CH 3 )-CO-O, CH(CH 3 )=CH-CO-O-, CH 2 =CH-CONH-, CH 2 =C(CH 3 )-CONH-, CH(CH 3 )=CH-CONH-, CH 2 =CH-O-CO-, CH 2 =C(CH 3 )-O-CO-, CH 2 CH 2 =CH-CH 2 -O-CO-, CH 2 =CH-NHCO-, CH 2 =CH-CH 2 -NHCO-, CH 2 =CH-SO 2 -, CH 2 =CH-CO-, CH 2 =CH-O-, CH 2 =CH-S-. The monomer and the oligomer may have at least two of the above polymerizable functional groups which may be the same or different. Examples of the monomer having not less than two polymerizable functional groups include monomers or oligomers having the same polymerizable functional groups, for example, styrene derivatives such as divinylbenzene, trivinylbenzene; polyalcohols (such as ethyleneglycol, diethyleneglycol, triethyleneglycol, polyethyleneglycol #200, #400, #600, 1,3-butyleneglycol, neopentylglycol, dipropyleneglycol, polypropyleneglycol, trimethylolpropane, trimethylolethane, pentaerythritol); or methacrylic, acrylic, or crotonic acid esters of polyhydroxyphenols (such as hydroquinone, resorcinol, catechol and derivatives thereof); vinyl ethers; allyl ethers; vinyl esters, allyl esters, vinyl amides and allyl amides of dibasic acids (such as malonic acid, succinic acid glutaric acid, adipic acid, pimelic acid, maleic acid, phthalic acid, and itaconic acid); and condensation products of polyamines (ethylene diamine, 1,3-propylene diamine and 1,4-butylene diamine) with carboxylic acids having a vinyl group (such as methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, crotonic acid and allylacetic acid). The polymers may be prepared by polymerizing not more than 10 mol %, preferably not more than 5 mol % of monomers or oligomers having not less than two polymerizable groups used in the present invention based on the total amount of the monomer (A) and other monomers added to said monomers. Further, crosslinking between the polymers may be conducted by reaction between reactive groups of the polymers which forms chemical bonds as ordinary reaction of organic compound with low molecular weight. The method (B) may be preferable in order to form an interstice construction between molecules, since it results in particles which have narrow distribution of particle size and are monodisperse, and it tends to provide not more than 5 µm of average particle size. Namely, the polyfunctional monomer (D) is added to above-mentioned monomer (A), monomer (B) and/or the polymer (PY) to conduct polymerization granulation reaction of them. The polymer (PY) has a double bond group copolymerizable with monomer (A) in a side chain or at one terminal of the main chain of polymer. Polymerizable double bond group may be any group which is copolymerizable with monomer (A). Examples of the groups include: (wherein a is H or -CH 3 ). Polymerizable groups may be linked to polymer chain directly, or through other di-valent organic groups. These polymers can be prepared, for example, by methods described in JP-A-61-43757, 1-257969, 2-74956, 1-282566, 2-173667, 3-15862 and 2-177449. Polymerizable compounds may be used in an amount of 5-80 parts by weight, preferably 10-50 parts by weight in 100 parts by weight of nonaqueous solvent. Polymerization initiator may be used in an amount of 0.1-5 % by weight based on the total weight of polymerizable compounds. Polymerization temperature may be 30 to 180°C, preferably 40 to 120°C . Polymerization reaction may be conducted for 1 to 15 hours preferably. Preferably, the polymer (P) and/or the polymer particle (L) may be included in an amount of 0.01 to 40 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of all binders including the polymer (P) and the polymer particle (L) which are present in the photoconductive layer of the one-layer type photoconductive layer, or in the layer contacted with the transfer layer of the multi-layer type photoconductive layer. All binders means binders in the above mentioned layer including polymer (P). Less than 0.01 parts of the polymer (P) and/or the polymer particle (L) may cause that the transfer layer cannot release easily. More than 40 parts of the polymer may result in insufficient reproducibility of the original. The polymer (P) and/or the polymer particle (L) is more preferably used in an amount of 0.1 to 30 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of binder in the photoconductive layer. (Photo and/or thermosetting agent) Preferably, the photoconductive layer of the electrophotographic material for color proofing of the present invention may further include a small amount of photo and/or thermosetting agent in order to improve curing characteristics of a coating. The photo and/or thermosetting agent may be both of a photo and/or thermosetting polymer (D) and a photo and/or thermosetting compound in this specification. The photo and/or thermosetting agent may generally be used in an amount of 0.01-20 % by weight, preferably 0.1-15 % by weight based on the total amount of the polymer (Q) and the polymer (P). Less than 0.01 % by weight of the photo and/or thermosetting agent results in insufficient improvement in hardening coating. More than 20 % by weight of the photo and/or thermosetting agent results in disadvantageous influence on an electrophotographic feature. A photo and/or thermosetting resin may be any known curable resins, for example, resins having curable groups explained above for the polymer (P). Examples of the resin are described in the following literatures: Tsuyoshi Endo, "Densifying of Thermosetting Polymer", C.M.C Co.,Ltd., (1986), Yuji Harazaki, "The Latest Binder Handbook, chapter II-I, Sogogijutu Center, 1985; Takayuki Otsu, "Synthesis, Design and Study for New Use of Acryl Resin, the publishing department of Chubukeieikaihatsu Center, 1985; Eizo Omori, "Functional Acryl resins", Technosystem, 1985. The photo and/or thermosetting agent may be a crosslinking agent. The crosslinking agents may be compounds generally used as a crosslinking agent in the art. Examples of the compound may be those described above as a crosslinking agent for preparation of the polymer particle (L). Further, monomers having polyfunctional curable groups such as vinylmethacrylate, allylmethacrylate, ethyleneglycoldiacrylate, polyethyleneglycoldiacrylate, divinylsuccinate, divinyladipate, diallylsuccinate, 2-methylvinylmethacrylate, trimethylolpropanetrimethacrylate, divinylbenzene and pentaerythritol polyacrylate may also be used. As explained above, the present invention is characterized in that the photoconductive layer which contacts with a transfer layer is cured after coating. Accordingly, it is preferable to use the polymer (Q), the polymer (P), and the photo and/or thermosetting agent in appropriate combination so that each polymer may have functional groups which can bond chemically with each other. The polymerization reaction by bonding of functional groups may be well known reactions in the art. The combination of functional groups are shown in the following table as combination of functional groups of Group A and functional groups of Group B. The table should not be understood to limit the present invention. R 17 and R 18 are alkyl groups, R 19 to R 21 are alkyl or alkoxy groups. At least one of R 19 to R 21 is an alkoxy group. (Other additives) A reaction accelerator may be added to the binder in order to promote crosslinking reaction optionally. If the crosslinking reaction is a reaction of forming chemical bonds between functional groups, the following accelerator may be used: organic acids (such as acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, benzensulfonic acid and p-toluenesulfonic acid); phenols (phenol, chlorophenol, nitrophenol, cyanophenol, bromophenol, naphthol and dichlorophenol), organometallic compounds (such as zirconium acetylacetonate, zirconium acetylacetate, cobalt acetyl acetate and tin dibutoxy dilaurate), dithiocarbamic acid compounds (such as salts of diethyldithiocarbamic acid), thiuram disulfide compounds (such as tetramethylthiuram disulfide) and carboxylic acid anhydrides (such as phthalic anhydride, maleic anhydride, succinic anhydride, butylsuccinic anhydride, 3,3', 4,4'-tetracarboxybenzophenone dianhydride and trimellitic anhydride). If the crosslinking reaction is a polymerization reaction, a polymerization initiator (such as peroxides and azobiscompounds) may be used The above mentioned binder is cured by light and/or heat after coating. Cure by heat requires severer drying condition than the condition required for preparation of conventional electrophotographic materials. For example, higher temperature and/or longer reaction are required. Alternatively, it is preferable to heat the binder after drying a coating solvent. Heating may be conducted at a temperature between 60°C and 150°C, for 5 to 120 minutes. Milder condition is possible if the above mentioned reaction accelerator is used. Methods of photo-setting of particular functional groups of the resin of the present invention may be conducted with a chemical actinic radiation. The chemical actinic radiation may be visible light, ultraviolet, far ultraviolet, electronic beams, X rays, γ-rays, α-rays, preferably ultraviolet. Rays having wavelengths between 310 nm and 500 nm are especially preferable. Generally, a mercury vapor lamp, a halogen lamp, etc. are used for the irradiation. The irradiation may be conducted from the distance of 5-50 cm, for a period of 10 seconds to 10 minutes. The photoconductive compound used in the present invention may be either organic compounds or inorganic compounds. The compound may be, for example, a known inorganic photoconductive compound such as zinc oxide, titanium oxide, zinc sulfide, cadmium sulfide and lead sulfide. zinc oxide and titanium oxide are preferable from the environmental point of view. If an inorganic photoconductive compound such as zinc oxide and titanium oxide are used, they are used in an amount of 100 parts by weight per 10-100 parts by weight, preferably 15 to 40 parts by weight of the above mentioned binders.

The electrophotographic material of the present invention is advantageous also in that the features thereof are hard to be changed by the sensitizing dyes used. Further, conventionally known additives for electrophotographic materials may optionally be used in the electrophotographic material of the present invention. Additives include, for example, a chemical sensitizer, a plasticizer for improving film performance, or a surfactant. Examples of chemical sensitizers include: an electron attracting compound such as halogens, benzoquinone, chloranil, fluoranil, bromanil, dinitrobenzene, anthraquinone, 2,5-dichloro benzoquinone, nitrophenol, tetrachlorophthalic anhydride, 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone, dinitrofluorenone, trinitrofluorenone, tetracyanoethylene, polyarylalkane compounds, hindered phenol compounds, p-phenylenediamine compounds described in the following references: Hiroshi Komon, "The Latest Development and Utilization of Photoconductive Materials and Photosensitive Materials", chapter 4 to 6; Publishing department of Nihonkagakujouhou Co.,Ltd., (1986) and compounds described in JP-A-58-65439, 58-102239, 129439 and 62-71965. Examples of a plasticizer which can be added in order to improve plasticity of the photoconductive layer include: dimethylphthalate, dibutylphthalate, dioctylphthalate, triphenylphthalate, triphenylphosphate, diisobutyladipate, dimethylsebacate, dibutylsebacate, butyl laurate, methylphthalylethylglycolate and dimethylglycolphthalate. The plasticizer may be added in amount so that static features may not be affected adversly. The above mentioned additives are added in an amount of 0.001-2.0 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the photoconductive layer. The photoconductive material is ground, and dispersed into a system comprising a binder, a solvent thereof and an additive by well known methods in the art. For example, it is ground and dispersed into the system with an apparatus such as a ball mill, a Kady mill, a sand mill, a.DYNO-MILL®, a paint shaker, a roll mill and an ultrasonic dispersion apparatus described in Solomon, "Chemistry of Paint", etc. Then, they are coated onto the substrate, for example, with a barcoater, a reversecoater, or die coater in suitable coating amount for each imaging material system, and dried. The polymer (P) and the polymer particle (L) may be used together with other binder without any complicated operations. Solvents used for dispersing the photoconductive material may be any solvents which may be determined in the light of the solubility of the binder. They may be used solely or in combination containing two or more solvents. The photoconductive layer may be applied on a known substrate. Generally, a substrate for an electrophotographic photosensitive layer is preferably photoconductive. Examples for a photoconductive substrate include: a substrate made of metal, paper, or plastic which is treated so as to get conductivity, for example, by being impregnated with low insulation resistivity; a substrate wherein conductivity is imparted to the reverse side (the opposite side to the side on which the photosensitive layer is applied), and at least one coating is applied, for example, in order to inhibit curling; a substrate wherein a water proof adhesive layer is applied on the surface thereof; a substrate wherein at least one precoat layer is optionally applied on the latter substrate; and a substrate which is a paper laminated by plastics with conductivity on which a material such as aluminium has been vapor-deposited. Examples of a conductive substrate or a substrate to which conductivity is imparted are described in the following references: Yukio Sakamoto, Electrophotographics, 14 , (No.1), pages 2-11, (1975); Chemistry of special papers, Polymer Publishers (1975); M. F. Hoover, J. Macromol. Sci. Chem. A-4 (6), 1327-1417 (1970). The transfer layer will hereunder be illustrated. The transfer layer comprises a thermoplastic resin with weight-average molecular weight of 5×10 3 to 1×10 6 , preferably 5 × 10 4 to 5 × 10 5 , and with glass transition temperature of 0 °C to 100 °C, preferably 20 to 85 °C. Thermoplastic resin is used in an amount of not less than 70 % by weight, preferably not less than 90 % by weight of the transfer layer. Examples of the thermoplastic resin include: vinyl chloride resin, polyolefin resin, olefin-styrene copolymer, vinyl alkanoic acid resin, polyester resin, polyether resin, acrylic resin, cellulose resin, aliphatic acid modified cellulose resin. They are described in, for example, the following references: Nikkankogyoshinbunsha, "Plastic Material Recture", 1 to 18 , (1961); Vinylic department of Kinkikagakukyokai, "Polyvinylchloride", published by Nikkankogyoshinbunsha, (1988); Eizo Omori, "Functionality of Acrylic resin", published by Technosystem, (1985); Eiichiro Takiyama, "Polyester Resin Handbook", published by Nik kankogyoshinbunsha, (1988); Kazuo Yumoto, Saturated Polyester Resin Handbook", published by Nikkankogyoshinbunsha, (1989); Polymer Society of Japan, "Polymer Data Handbook", Chapter 1, published by Baifukan, (1986); Yuji Harazaki, "The latest handbook of binder technology", Chapter 2, published by Sogogijutu center (1985). The thermoplastic resins may be used solely or as combination of two or more thereof. The transfer layer may include other additives in order to improve physical properties such as coating properties, film-forming property and strength of coating. Examples of additives include a plasticizer such as mentioned above for the photoconductive layer. The thickness of the transfer layer is 0.1-10 µm, preferably 0.5 to 5µm. The transfer layer may be applied, for example, by a customary coating method. For example, it is conducted using a coating solution containing an appropriate compound such as one mentioned above and a method such as one for coating of the photoconductive layer. In addition, the transfer layer may be applied by a spray drying method which is known in the art. The above coating methods of the transfer layer are not limitative. The method for preparing a color proof using the electrophotographic material for color proofing of the present invention is as follows. First of all, an image to be reproduced is formed on the light-sensitive material by a conventional electrophotographic process. Namely, charging, image-wise exposure, development and fixing are conducted by well known methods in the art. Any type of developer such as a dry developer and a liquid developer may be used. Examples of the method are described in, for example, Gen Machida, "Recording Material and Photosensitive Resin", p.107-127, (1983); and Gakkaishuppan center Co.,Ltd., Imaging, No.2-5, "Development · Fixing · Charging · Transfer in Electrophotography". A combination of a scanning exposure method wherein an exposure is conducted based on a digital information using a laser beam and a developing method using a liquid developer is effective, since it can form a highly precise image. One examples will hereunder be described. The electrophotographic material is positioned on a flat bed by a resister pin method, and is sucked from the backside to be fixed. Charging is conducted with a charging device such as one described in the following literature: Electrophotographic Society of Japan, "Fundamentals and Applications of Electrophotographic Technique", p.212 et seq., published by Korona Co.,Ltd., in June 15, 1963. Corotron or Scorotron method is generally used. It is also preferable to control the charging condition by feedback based on data from means for detecting charging potential, so that the surface potential may be in an appropriate range. And then, scanning exposure by laser beams is conducted in accordance with the manner described in p.254 et seq. of the above mentioned literature. First of all, the electrophotographic material is exposed using a dot pattern converted from image for yellow of four color separations. Subsequently, a toner-development is conducted with a liquid developer. Namely, the charged and exposed material is removed from the flat bed, and developed by direct liquid development described in p. 275 et seq. of the above mentioned literature. The exposure mode corresponds to toner development mode. For example, a negative exposure is conducted for a reversal development. Namely, an image area is exposed by laser beams, and a development bias voltage is applied thereto so that a toner may be adsorbed on an image area. The toner should have the same charging polarity as that of the imaging material on charging. The detailed information is described in p. 157 et seq. of the above mentioned literature. In order to remove the excess developer after development, the electrophotographic material is squeezed and dried. It is also preferable to rinse the material with a liquid carrier for the developer. The above procedures are repeated for each color, namely magenta, cyan, yellow and black to form an image with 4 colors on the electrophotographic material. The toner image is heat-transfered to the regular paper for printing together with the transfer layer to form a color proof. Figure 1 shows an apparatus for heat-transfer of a transfer layer to a regular paper. The electrophotographic material is conveyed with appropriate nip pressure between a pair of rubber-coated metallic rollers equipped with a built-in heating means. Temperature on the surface of the rollers may be 50-150 °C, preferably 80-120 °C. Nip pressure between the rollers may be 0.2-20 kgf/cm 2 , preferably 0.5-10kgf/cm 2 . Conveyance speed may be 0.1-100mm/sec., preferably 1-30 mm/sec. The optimum values may be selected depending on the kind of the electrophotographic materials, namely the physical properties of the transfer layer, the photoconductive layer and the substrate. It is preferable to keep the temperature on the surface of the rollers in a range defined above by known means. A means for preheating and/or cooling can be set in front of the heat rollers. Springs or air cylinders which use compressed air as means for pressing (which is not shown in Fig.1) may also be set on the both ends of an axis of at least one of rollers. As described above, the addition of the polymer (P) and/or the polymer particle (L) to the photoconductive layer can improve releasability of the photoconductive layer from the transfer layer. As a result, a color proof of high quality without color drift and defect in transfer can be obtained. Examples of the present invention will hereunder be described in more detail, but they do not limit the present invention. In the formulae in the examples, the symbol "-b-" represents that two block segments illustrated on both sides of the symbol are present in the form of blocks to form a block copolymer. Namely, a copolymer represented by the formula including the symbol "-b-" is not a random copolymer, but a block copolymer.

Polymers (P-326)-(P-337) within the range of Mw of 6 × 10 4 ∼ 8 × 10 4 were obtained. Example P-401: A mixture of 50 g of a monomer of the following formula and 50 g of tetrahydrofuran was fed to a vessel and sealed in a stream of nitrogen, and heated to 60 °C, and then, irradiated with light from 400W-high pressure mercury vapor lamp through a glass filter from the distance of 10 cm for 10 hours to conduct photopolymerization. A mixture of 25 g of methylmethacrylate, 15 g of glycidyl methacrylate and 10 g of macromonomer (MB-401), and 50 g of tetrahydrofuran was added thereto. Then, the vessel was purged with nitrogen, and the irradiation was conducted for 16 hours. The resultant reaction mixture was reprecipitated in 1 1 of methanol, and the precipitate was collected and dried. 68 g of Polymer (P-401) with Mw of 6 × 10 4 was obtained. Example P-402: A mixture of 36 g of the monomer (A-402), 4 g of a siloxane macromonomer Pyraqcell® FM-725 (manufactured by CHISSO CORPORATION, Mw 1 × 10 4 ), 1.0 g of an initiator of the following formula and 50 g of tetrahydrofuran was charged to a vessel and sealed in a flow of nitrogen, and heated 50°C.

Examples P-404 - P-416: The procedures of Example P-402 were repeated except for substituting macromonomers listed in Table 402 for the macromonomer (M-401). Polymers (P-404)-(P-416) with Mw in the range of 5 × 10 4 ∼ 8 × 1 0 4 were obtained. Mw of macromonomers which were used are also listed in Table 402. Examples P-417 - P-429 : Polymers listed in Table 403 were prepared by a similar method to one of Example P-401. Polymers (P-417)-(P-427) with Mw of 4 × 10 4 ∼ 8 × 10 4 were obtained. Mw of macromonomers which were used are also listed in Table 403. Mw of each of mono-functional macromonomers MB which were used was in the range of 6×10 3 ∼ 9×10 4 . [Example 1] A mixture of 1 g of metal-free X-form phthalocyanine (available from DAINIPPON INK AND CHEMICALS, INC.), 10 g of binder resin B-1 represented by the following formula, 0.3 g of resin P-2, 0.15 g of compound A represented by the following formula and 80 g of tetrahydrofuran was charged together with glass beads in a 500-ml glass container. The mixture was dispersed by a paint shaker (available from TOYO SEIKI SEISAKUSHO) for 60 minutes and then the glass beads were separated by filtration to prepare a dispersion for a photosensitive layer (i.e., photoconductive layer). The dispersion was coated with a wire bar on a base for a paper master having 0.2 mm thickness subjected to both of a treatment for electrical conductivity and a treatment for solvent resistance. After being dried by air to be tack-free, the coating was dried in a circulating oven at 110 °C for 5 minutes to obtain a photosensitive layer having 8µm thickness. The numbers of the repeating units in the formula represent a ratio by weight. A solution having the following contents was then prepared to form a transfer removable layer on the photosensitive layer. Poly(vinyl acetate/crotonic acid) (95/5, Mw 5×10 4 ) 3 g 28 % Aqueous Ammonia 1 g Ethanol 97 g After the above solution was coated with a wire bar on the photosensitive layer, the coating was dried in an oven at 120 °C for 20 seconds to prepare an electrophotographic material for color proofing, comprising a transfer removable layer having 1.3 µm thickness. [Comparative Example A] An electrophotographic material for color proofing was prepared in the same manner as that of Example 1 except that the mixture not containing Polymer P-2 was used. [Test Example] The image quality and the transfer properties of the electrophotographic material for color proofing obtained in Example 1 and those of the electrophotographic material for color proofing obtained in Comparative Example A were evaluated as follows: The electrophotographic material of Example 1 was charged by corona discharge to +450 volts in dark. The charged electrophotographic material was imagewise exposed to light by a Ga-Al-As semiconductor laser (oscillation wavelength 780 nm) having 5mW of output power with 30 erg/cm 2 of irradiation measured on the electrophotographic material of a pitch of 25 µm at a scanner speed of 300 cm/sec in a mode of negative mirror image, based on the information about yellow color among information about yellow, magenta, cyan and black, which were recorded in a hard disk of a system as digital image data which were obtained by reading an original using a color scanner and conducting color separation and correction regarding some color reproductions specific to the system. Subsequently, the exposed electrophotographic material was reversely developed using a yellow liquid developer for a signature system (available from Eastman Kodak) 75-fold (by weight) diluted with Isopar® H (available from Esso Standard Oil Co.) by a developing apparatus having a pair of plane developing electrodes under the application of +400 volts of bias voltage to electrically deposit toners on the exposed areas of the electrophotographic material and then the developed electrophotographic material was rinsed in a bath of Isopar® H to remove background contamination in the non-image areas. The above procedure was repeated using each information of magenta, cyan and black instead of the information of yellow. The image formed on the obtained electrophotographic material after image production was fixed using a heat roller. Subsequently, coated paper (regular printing paper) was laid on the electrophotographic material having fixed image and then transferred at a speed of 10 mm/sec between a pair of rubber rollers which were in contact each other under a pressure of 147 N/cm 2 (15 kgf/cm 2 ) and whose surfaces were constantly maintained at 120°C. After being cooled to room temperature, the coated paper was separated from the electrophotographic material. Image formed on the coated paper was visually evaluated regarding fog and image quality. The above procedures were repeated using the electrophotographic material obtained in Comparative Example A. In the case of using the electrophotographic material for color proofing obtained in Example 1, all of the toners deposited on the electrophotographic material were transferred by heat to the coated paper together with the removable layer and a suitable mat was produced on the surface of the removable layer so that clear image without background contamination was obtained. The obtained image had the same image quality as that of the original. The toners transferred on the coated paper were covered with the thermoplastic resin of the removable layer so that these toners were not rubbed off and thereby the image had sufficient strength. Therefore, it revealed that the electrophotographic material according to the present invention showed excellent properties as an electrophotographic material for color proofing. In the case of using the electrophotographic material for color proofing obtained in Comparative Example A, the separation of the coated paper from the electrophotographic material failed so that the photosensitive layers on the coated paper and the electrophotographic material were destroyed. Thus, it revealed that this electrophotographic material for color proofing did not have performance required of electrophotographic material for color proofing. Further, the releasability of the electrophotographic material obtained in Example 1 was evaluated as follows. Tack strength of a surface of the photoconductive layer of the electrophotographic material which is to be contacted with the transfer layer was measured in accordance with Tape and Sheet test of JIS Z0237-1980, before the transfer layer was applied thereon. The same procedures were repeated using the photoconductive layer formed in Comparative Example A. Tack strength of the photoconductive layer formed in Example 1 was 0N (0 g · f), whereas tack strength of the photoconductive layer formed in Comparative Example A was 3.6N (370 g · f). The lower value means the better releasability. It is believed that the above difference between the results of Example 1 and Comparative Example A depends on the formation of the interface having excellent release properties due to the concentration and the migration of the fluorine atom-containing copolymer near the surface of the photoconductive layer at the time of the formation of the photoconductive layer. The above results demonstrate that sufficient image quality was not obtained by the plate of Comparative Example A using the random copolymer of the prior art but obtained by the plate of Example 1 according to the present invention using the block copolymer. [Example 2] A mixture of 200 g of photoconductive zinc oxide, 80 g of binder resin B-2 represented by the following formula, 8 g of resin P-25, 0.018 g of dye D-1 represented by the following formula, 0.20 g of phthalic anhydride and 300 g of toluene was charged in a ball mill and dispersed for 2 hours to prepare a dispersion for a photosensitive layer. The dispersion was coated with a wire bar on a base for a paper master having 0.2 mm thickness subjected to both of a treatment for electrical conductivity and a treatment for solvent resistance. After being dried by air to be tack-free, the coating was dried in a circulating air oven at 110 °C for 10 minutes to obtain a photosensitive layer having 10 µm thickness. The same solution of the thermoplastic resin as that of Example 1 was prepared, coated on the photosensitive layer and dried in the same procedure as that of Example 1 to form a transfer removable layer on the photosensitive layer. [Comparative Example B] An electrophotographic material for color proofing was prepared in the same manner as that of Example 1 except that the mixture without polymer P-25 was used. [Test Example] An adhesive-backed tape was attached to the surface of the transfer layer obtained in Example 2 and peeled off. As a result, only the removable layer was easily separated from the photosensitive layer. The electrophotographic material obtained in Example 2 was charged by corona discharge to -600 volts in dark. The charged electrophotographic material was imagewise exposed to light by a semiconductor laser (oscillation wavelength 780 nm) with 25 erg/cm 2 of irradiation measured on the surface of the electrophotographic material in a mode of positive mirror image, based on the information about yellow color. The residual voltage on the exposed areas was -120 volts. Subsequently, the exposed electrophotographic material was positively developed using a yellow toner for VERSATECK® 3000 (color electrostatic plotter available from Xerox Co.) diluted with a 50-fold amount of Isopar® H by a developing apparatus having a pair of plane developing electrodes under the application of -200 volts of bias voltage to electrically deposit toners on the unexposed areas of the electrophotographic material and then the developed electrophotographic material was rinsed in a bath of Isopar® H to remove background contamination in the non-image areas. The above procedure was repeated using each information of magenta, cyan and black instead of the information of yellow. Subsequently, coated paper was laid on the electrophotographic material developed with the four color toners and then transferred at a speed of 6 mm/sec between a pair of rubber rollers which were in contact each other under a pressure of 98 N/cm 2 (10 kgf/cm 2 ) and whose surfaces were constantly maintained at 120°C. After being cooled to room temperature, the coated paper was separated from the electrophotographic material. In the case of using the electrophotographic material for color proofing obtained in Example 2, the whole image formed on the coated paper was transferred by heat to the coated paper together with the removable layer and a suitable mat was produced on the surface of the removable layer. There was little difference between the image quality of the obtained image and that of an image obtained by printing. The toners transferred on the coated paper were covered with the thermoplastic resin of the removable layer so that these toners were not rubbed off. In the case of using the electrophotographic material for color proofing obtained in Comparative Example B, the separation of the coated paper from the electrophotographic material failed so that the photosensitive layers on the coated paper and the electrophotographic material were destroyed. Thus, it revealed that this electrophotographic material for color proofing did not have performance required of electrophotographic material for color proofing. Further, the releasability of the electrophotographic material obtained in Example 2 was evaluated as follows. Tack strength of a surface of the photoconductive layer of the electrophotographic material which is to be contacted with the transfer layer was measured in accordance with Tape and Sheet Test of JIS Z0237-1980, before the transfer layer was applied thereon. The same procedures were repeated using the photoconductive layer formed in Comparative Example B. Tack strength of the photoconductive layer formed in Example 2 was 0.05 N (5 g · f), whereas tack strength of the photoconductive layer formed in Comparative Example B was 3.7 N (380 g · f). The lower value means the better releasability. It is believed that the above difference between the results of Example Z and Comparative Example B depends on the formation of the interface having excellent release properties due to the concentration and the migration of the fluorine atom-containing copolymer near the surface of the photoconductive layer at the time of the formation of the photoconductive layer. The above results demonstrate that sufficient image quality was not obtained by the plate of Comparative Example B using the random copolymer of the prior art but obtained by the plate of Example 2 according to the present invention using the block copolymer. [Example 3] Five grams of 4,4'-bis(diethylamino)-2,2'-dimethyl triphenylmethane as a photoconductive material, 4 g of binder resin B-3 represented by the following formula, 0.8 g of resin P-15, 40mg of dye D-2 represented by the following formula, and 0.20 g of anilide compound B represented by the following formula as a chemical sensitizer were dissolved in a mixture of 30 ml of methylene chloride and 30 ml of ethylene chloride to prepare a solution for a photosensitive layer. The solution was coated with a wire-wound rod on an electrically-conductive transparent substrate which comprises a polyethylene terephthalate substrate (100 µm in thickness) having deposited thereon indium oxide film and has a surface resistance of 10 3 Ω to form a photosensitive layer having about 4 µm thickness. The results obtained in an adhesion test with an adhesive-backed tape revealed that the adhesion of the photosensitive layer comprising block copolymer P-15 to the base was one fiftieth compared with a photosensitive layer without block copolymer P-15. The results demonstrate the maldistribution of the block copolymer to the surface of the photosensitive layer. The same solution of the thermoplastic resin as that of Example 1 was prepared, coated on the photosensitive layer and dried in the same procedure as that of Example 1 to form a transfer removable layer on the photosensitive layer. An adhesive-backed tape was attached to the surface of the removable layer and peeled off. As a result, only the removable layer was easily separated from the photosensitive layer as shown in the removable layer of Example 2. The image quality and the transfer properties of the electrophotographic material thus obtained were evaluated in the same manner as that of Example 1 except that a He-Ne laser having an oscillation wavelength of 630 nm was used instead of the semiconductor laser having an oscillation wavelength of 780 nm. A clear color copy image without background contamination was obtained on coated paper after transfer. The image had sufficient strength. [Example 4] A mixture of 5 g of bis-azo pigment represented by the following formula, 95 g of tetrahydrofuran, and 30 g of a solution of polyester resin Byron 200 (avalable from TOYOBO CO., LTD), 5g in tetrahydrofuran was sufficiently ground in a ball mill. Then, the mixture was drawn and 520 g of tetrahydrofuran were added thereto while stirring. The obtained dispersion was coated with a wire-wound rod on the same electrically-conductive transparent substrate as that used in Example 3 to form a charge generation layer having about 0.7 µm thickness. Subsequently, a solution consisting of 20 g of a hydrazone compound represented by the following formula, 20 g of polycarbonate resin Lexan® 121 (available from GE Co.), 3 g of resin P-49 represented by the following formula and 160 g of tetrahydrofuran was coated with a wire-wound rod on the charge generation layer to form a charge transport layer having thickness of about 18 µm. Thus, the obtained electrophotographic receptor comprised the two functional layers of the charge generation layer and the charge transport layer. The same solution of the thermoplastic resin as that of Example 1 was prepared, coated on the photosensitive layer and dried in the same procedure as that of Example 1 to form a transfer removable layer on the photosensitive layer. The image quality and the transfer properties of the electrophotographic material thus obtained were evaluated in the same manner as that of Example 3. A clear color copy image without background contamination was obtained on coated paper after transfer. The image had sufficient strength. [Examples 5-34] Electrophotographic materials for color proofing were prepared in the same manner as that of Example 2 except that 10 g of a resin P shown in the following Table VIII was used instead of 8 g of resin P-25. The image quality and the transfer properties of each of the electrophotographic materials thus obtained were evaluated in the same manner as that of Example 2. Clear color copy images without background contamination were obtained on coated paper after transfer. The images had sufficient strength. [Example 35] An electrophotographic material for color proofing was prepared in the same manner as that of Example 2 except that 10 g of resin particles L-1 and 0.020 g of dye D-3 represented by the following formula were used instead of 8 g of resin P-25 and 0.018 g of dye D-1. A plate for color proofing was prepared from this electrophotographic material in the same procedure as that of Example 2. The obtained color copy image had no background contamination to produce a proof having clear image quality. [Examples 36-53] Electrophotographic materials for color proofing were prepared in the same manner as that of Example 35 except that 11 g of resin particles L shown in the following Table IX was used instead of 10 g of resins particles L-1. Example 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 Resin Particles L L-2 L-3 L-4 L-5 L-6 L-7 L-8 L-9 L-10 Example 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 Resin Particles L L-11 L-12 L-13 L-14 L-15 L-16 l-17 L-18 L-19 The image quality and the transfer properties of each of the electrophotographic materials thus obtained were evaluated in the same manner as that of Example 2. Clear color copy images without background contamination were obtained on coated paper after transfer. The images had sufficient strength. [Examples 54-58] Electrophotographic materials for color proofing were prepared in the same manner as that of Example 2 except that a combination of a thermoplastic resin with a solvent for coating shown in the following Table X was used instead of the thermoplastic resin poly(vinyl acetate/crotonic acid) (molar ratio 95/5) of the transfer removable layer. Example Thermoplastic Resin Solvent for Coating 54 Cellulose acetate butyrate :Cellidor® Bsp (available from Bayer AG) Ethyl acetate 55 Polyvinyl butyral resin :ESLECK® (available from Sekisui Chemical Co.,Ltd) Ethanol 56 Cellulose propionate :CELLIDORIA® (available from DAICEL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES, LTD) Ethyl acetate 57 Poly(vinyl acetate) Methyl ethyl ketone 58 Poly(vinyl acetate/crotonic acid) (molar ratio 95/5) and Cellidor® Bsp (ratio by weight 8/2) Ethanol solution containing 1 % Aqueous Ammonia The image quality and the transfer properties of each of the electrophotographic materials thus obtained were evaluated in the same manner as that of Example 2. As a result, the same excellent levels of the performances were achieved. [Example 101] A mixture of 1 g of metal-free X-form phthalocyanine (available from DAINIPPON INK AND CHEMICALS, INC.), 10 g of binder resin B-1, 0.3 g of resin P-105, 0.15 g of compound A and 80 g of tetrahydrofuran was charged together with glass beads in a 500-ml glass container and dispersed by a paint shaker (available from TOYO SEIKI SEISAKUSHO) for 60 minutes. Then, 0.03 g of ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether were added the dispersion and dispersed for 2 minutes. The glass beads were separated by filtration to prepare a dispersion for a photosensitive layer. The dispersion was coated with a wire bar on a base for a paper master having 0.2 mm thickness subjected to both of a treatment for electrical conductivity and a treatment for solvent resistance. After being dried by air to be tack-free, the coating was dried in a circulating oven at 110 °C for 20 seconds and at 140 °C for 1 hour to obtain a photosensitive layer having 8 µm thickness. A solution having the following contents was then prepared to form a transfer removable layer on the photosensitive layer. Poly(vinyl acetate/crotonic acid) (95/5, Mw 5×10 4 ) 3 g 28 % Aqueous Ammonia 1 g Ethanol 97 g After the above solution was coated with a wire bar on the photosensitive layer, the coating was dried in an oven at 120 °C for 20 seconds to prepare an electrophotographic material for color proofing, comprising a transfer removable layer having 1.3 µm thickness. The image quality and the transfer properties of the electrophotographic material for color proofing obtained in Example 101 were evaluated as follows: The electrophotographic material of Example 101 was charged by corona discharge to +450 volts in dark. The charged electrophotographic material was imagewise exposed to light by a Ga-Al-As semiconductor laser (oscillation wavelength 780 nm) having 5mW of output power with 30 erg/cm 2 of irradiation measured on the electrophotographic material at a pitch of 25 µm at a scanner speed of 300 cm/sec in a mode of negative mirror image, based on the information about yellow color among information about yellow, magenta, cyan and black, which were recorded in a hard disk of a system as digital image data which were obtained by reading an original using a color scanner and conducting color separation and correction regarding some color reproductions specific to the system.

The toners transferred on the coated paper were covered with the thermoplastic resin of the removable layer so that these toners were not rubbed off and thereby the image had sufficient strength. Therefore, it revealed that the electrophotographic material according to the present invention showed excellent properties as an electrophotographic material for color proofing. [Example 102] A mixture of 200 g of photoconductive zinc oxide, 80 g of binder resin B-102 represented by the following formula, 8 g of resin P-103, 0.018 g of dye D-1, 0.20 g of N-hydroxy succinic acid imide and 300 g of toluene was charged in a homogenizer (NIHON SEIKI CO.,LTD) and dispersed at 7 × 10 3 rpm for 10 minutes. After 0.3 g of phthalic anhydride and 0.01 of o-chlorophenol were added to the dispersion, the mixture was dispersed at 1 × 10 3 rpm for 1 minute to prepare a dispersion for a photosensitive layer. The dispersion was coated with a wire bar on a base for a paper master having 0.2 mm thickness subjected to both of a treatment for electrical conductivity and a treatment for solvent resistance. After being dried by air to be tack-free, the coating was dried in a circulating oven at 140 °C for 2 hours to obtain a photosensitive layer having 10µm thickness. The results obtained in an adhesion test with an adhesive-backed tape revealed that the adhesion of the photosensitive layer comprising block copolymer P-103 to the base was one sixtieth compared with a photosensitive layer without block copolymer P-103. The results demonstrate the maldistribution of the block copolymer to the surface of the photosensitive layer. The same solution of the thermoplastic resin as that of Example 101 was prepared, coated on the photosensitive layer and dried in the same procedure as that of Example 101 to form a transfer removable layer on the photosensitive layer. An adhesive-backed tape was attached to the surface of the removable layer and peeled off. As a result, only the removable layer was easily separated from the photosensitive layer. The electrophotographic material thus obtained was charged by corona discharge to -600 volts in dark. The charged electrophotographic material was imagewise exposed to light by a semiconductor laser (oscillation wavelength 780 nm) with 25 erg/cm 2 of irradiation measured on the surface of the electrophotographic material in a mode of positive mirror image, based on the information about yellow color. The residual voltage on the exposed areas was -120 volts. Subsequently, the exposed electrophotographic material was positively developed using a yellow toner for VERSATECK® 3000 (color electrostatic plotter available from Xerox Co.) diluted with a 50-fold amount of Isopar® H by a developing apparatus having a pair of plane developing electrodes under the application of -200 volts of bias voltage to electrically deposit toners on the unexposed areas of the electrophotographic material and then the developed electrophotographic material was rinsed in a bath of Isopar® H to remove background contamination in the non-image areas. The above procedure was repeated using each information of magenta, cyan and black instead of the information of yellow. Subsequently, coated paper was laid on the electrophotographic material developed with the four color toners and then transferred at a speed of 6 mm/sec between a pair of rubber rollers which were in contact each other under a pressure of 98 N/cm 2 (10 kgf/cm 2 ) and whose surfaces were constantly maintained at 120°C. After being cooled to room temperature, the coated paper was separated from the electrophotographic material. The whole image formed on the coated paper was transferred by heat to the coated paper together with the removable layer and a suitable mat was produced on the surface of the removable layer. There was little difference between the image quality of the obtained image and that of an image obtained by printing. The toners transferred on the coated paper were covered with the thermoplastic resin of the removable layer so that these toners were not rubbed off. [Example 103] Five grams of 4,4'-bis(diethylamino)-2,2'-dimethyl triphenylmethane as a photoconductive material, 4 g of binder resin B-103 represented by the following formula, 0.8 g of resin P-119, 40mg of dye D-2, and 0.20 g of anilide compound B as a chemical sensitizer were dissolved in a mixture of 30 ml of methylene chloride and 30 ml of ethylene chloride to prepare a solution for a photosensitive layer. The solution was coated with a wire-wound rod on an electrically-conductive transparent substrate which comprises a polyethylene terephthalate substrate (100 µm in thickness) having deposited thereon indium oxide film and has a surface resistance of 10 3 Ω to form a photosensitive layer having about 4 µm thickness. The results obtained in an adhesion test with an adhesive-backed tape revealed that the adhesion of the photosensitive layer comprising block copolymer P-119 to the base was one seventieth compared with a photosensitive layer without block copolymer P-119. The results demonstrate the maldistribution of the block copolymer to the surface of the photosensitive layer. The same solution of the thermoplastic resin as that of Example 101 was prepared, coated on the photosensitive layer and dried in the same procedure as that of Example 101 to form a transfer removable layer on the photosensitive layer. An adhesive-backed tape was attached to the surface of the removable layer and peeled off. As a result, only the removable layer was easily separated from the photosensitive layer as shown in the removable layer of Example 102. The image quality and the transfer properties of the electrophotographic material thus obtained were evaluated in the same manner as that of Example 101 except that a He-Ne laser having an oscillation wavelength of 630 nm was used instead of the semiconductor laser having an oscillation wavelength of 780 nm. A clear color copy image without background contamination was obtained on coated paper after transfer. The image had sufficient strength. [Example 104] A mixture of 5 g of the same bis-azo pigment as that used in Example 4, 95 g of tetrahydrofuran, and 30 g of a solution of polyester resin Byron® 200 (available from TOYOBO CO., LTD), 5g in tetrahydrofuran was sufficiently ground in a ball mill. Then, the mixture was drawn and 520 g of tetrahydrofuran were added thereto while stirring. The obtained dispersion was coated with a wire-wound rod on the same electrically-conductive transparent substrate as that used in Example 103 to form a charge generation layer having about 0.7 µm thickness. Subsequently, a solution consisting of 20 g of the same hydrazone compound as that used in Example 4, 20 g of polycarbonate resin Lexan® 121 (available from GE Co.), 2 g of resin P-102, 0.04 g of isophorone di-isocyanate, 0.001 g of tetrabutoxy titanate and 160 g of tetrahydrofuran was coated with a wire-wound rod on the charge generation layer to form a charge transport layer having thickness of about 18µm. Thus, the obtained electrophotographic receptor comprised the two functional layers of the charge generation layer and the charge transport layer. The same solution of the thermoplastic resin as that of Example 101 was prepared, coated on the photosensitive layer and dried in the same procedure as that of Example 101 to form a transfer removable layer on the photosensitive layer.

After being dried by air to be tack-free, the coating was dried in a circulating air oven at 140 °C for 2 hours to obtain a photosensitive layer having 10 µm thickness. The same solution of the thermoplastic resin as that of Example 101 was prepared, coated on the photosensitive layer and dried in the same procedure as that of Example 101 to form a transfer removable layer on the photosensitive layer.

[Examples 135-139] Electrophotographic materials for color proofing were prepared in the same manner as that of Example 102 except that a combination of a thermoplastic resin with a solvent for coating shown in the following Table 110 was used instead of the thermoplastic resin poly(vinyl acetate/crotonic acid) (molar ratio 95/5) of the transfer removable layer. Example Thermoplastic Resin Solvent for Coating 135 Cellulose acetate butyrate :Cellidor® Bsp (available from Bayer AG) Ethyl acetate 136 Polyvinyl butyral resin :ESLECK® (available from Sekisui Chemical Co.,Ltd) Ethanol 137 Cellulose propionate :CELLIDORIA® (available from DAICEL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES, LTD) Ethyl acetate 138 Poly(vinyl acetate) Methyl ethyl ketone 139 Poly(vinyl acetate/crotonic acid) (molar ratio 95/5) and Cellidor® Bsp (ratio by weight 8/2) Ethanol solution containing 1 % Aqueous Ammonia The image quality and the transfer properties of each of the electrophotographic materials thus obtained were evaluated in the same manner as that of Example 102. As a result, the same excellent levels of the performances were achieved. [Example 201] A mixture of 1 g of metal-free X-form phthalocyanine (available from DAINIPPON INK AND CHEMICALS, INC.), 10 g of binder resin Q-201 represented by the following formula, 0.3 g of resin P-241, 0.15 g of compound A and 80 g of tetrahydrofuran was charged together with glass beads in a 500-ml glass container. The mixture was dispersed by a paint shaker (available from TOYO SEIKI SEISAKUSHO) for 60 minutes. After 0.03 g of ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether were added to the dispersion, the mixture was dispersed for 2 minutes. Then, the glass beads were separated by filtration to prepare a dispersion for a photosensitive layer. The dispersion was coated with a wire bar on a base for a paper master having 0.2 mm thickness subjected to both of a treatment for electrical conductivity and a treatment for solvent resistance. After being dried by air to be tack-free, the coating was dried in a circulating air oven at 110 °C for 20 seconds and at 140 °C for 1 hour to obtain a photosensitive layer having 8 µm thickness. A solution having the following contents was then prepared to form a transfer removable layer on the photosensitive layer. Poly(vinyl acetate/crotonic acid) (95/5, Mw 5×10 4 ) 3 g 28 % Aqueous Ammonia 1 g Ethanol 97 g After the above solution was coated with a wire bar on the photosensitive layer, the coating was dried in an oven at 120°C for 20 seconds to prepare an electrophotographic material for color proofing, comprising a transfer removable layer having 1.3 µm thickness. The image quality and the transfer properties of the electrophotographic material for color proofing obtained in Example 201 was evaluated as follows: The electrophotographic material of Example 201 was charged by corona discharge to +450 volts in dark. The charged electrophotographic material was imagewise exposed to light by a Ga-Al-As semiconductor laser (oscillation wavelength 780 nm) having 5mW of output power with 30 erg/cm 2 of irradiation measured on the electrophotographic material at a pitch of 25 µm at a scanner speed of 300 cm/sec in a mode of negative mirror image, based on the information about yellow color among information about yellow, magenta, cyan and black, which were recorded in a hard disk of a system as digital image data which were obtained by reading an original using a color scanner and conducting color separation and correction regarding some color reproductions specific to the system. Subsequently, the exposed electrophotographic material was reversely developed using a yellow liquid developer for a signature system (available from Eastman Kodak) 75-fold (by weight) diluted with Isopar® H (available from Esso Standard Oil Co.) by a developing apparatus having a pair of plane developing electrodes under the application of +400 volts of bias voltage to electrically deposit toners on the exposed areas of the electrophotographic material and then the developed electrophotographic material was rinsed in a bath of Isopar® H to remove background contamination in the non-image areas. The above procedure was repeated using each information of magenta, cyan and black instead of the information of yellow. The image formed on the obtained electrophotographic material after image-form production was fixed using a heat roller. Subsequently, coated paper (regular printing paper) was laid on the electrophotographic material having fixed image and then transferred at a speed of 10 mm/sec between a pair of rubber rollers which were in contact each other under a pressure of 147 N/cm 2 (15 kgf/cm 2 ) and whose surfaces were constantly maintained at 120°C. After being cooled to room temperature, the coated paper was separated from the electrophotographic material. Image formed on the coated paper was visually evaluated regarding fog and image quality. All of the toners deposited on the electrophotographic material were transferred by heat to the coated paper together with the removable layer and a suitable mat was produced on the surface of the removable layer so that clear image without background contamination was obtained. The obtained image had the same image quality as that of the original. The toners transferred on the coated paper were covered with the thermoplastic resin of the removable layer so that these toners were not rubbed off and thereby the image had sufficient strength. Therefore, it revealed that the electrophotographic material according to the present invention showed excellent properties as an electrophotographic material for color proofing. [Example 202] A mixture of 200 g of photoconductive zinc oxide, 80 g of binder resin Q-202 represented by the following formula, 8 g of resin P-201, 0.018 g of dye D-1, 0.20 g of N-hydroxy succinic acid imide and 300 g of toluene was charged in a homogenizer (available from NIHON SEIKI CO.,LTD) and dispersed at 7 × 10 3 rpm for 10 minutes. After 0.3 g of phthalic anhydride and 0.01 g of o-chlorophenol were added to the dispersion, the mixture was dispersed at 1×10 3 rpm for 1 minute to prepare a dispersion for a photosensitive layer. The dispersion was coated with a wire bar on a base for a paper master having 0.2 mm thickness subjected to both of a treatment for electrical conductivity and a treatment for solvent resistance. After being dried by air to be tack-free, the coating was dried in a circulating air oven at 140 °C to obtain a photosensitive layer having 10 µm thickness. The results obtained in an adhesion test with an adhesive-backed tape revealed that the adhesion of the photosensitive layer comprising star-type copolymer P-203 to the base was one-sixtieth compared with a photosensitive layer without star-type copolymer P-203. The results demonstrate-the maldistribution of the star-type copolymer to the surface of the photosensitive layer. The same solution of the thermoplastic resin as that of Example 201 was prepared, coated on the photosensitive layer and dried in the same procedure as that of Example 201 to form a transfer removable layer on the photosensitive layer. An adhesive-backed tape was attached to the surface of the removable layer and peeled off. As a result, only the removable layer was easily separated from the photosensitive layer. The electrophotographic material thus obtained was charged by corona discharge to -600 volts in dark. The charged electrophotographic material was imagewise exposed to light by a semiconductor laser (oscillation wavelength 780 nm) with 25 erg/cm 2 of irradiation measured on the surface of the electrophotographic material in a mode of positive mirror image, based on the information about yellow color. The residual voltage on the exposed areas was -120 volts. Subsequently, the exposed electrophotographic material was positively developed using a yellow toner for VERSATECK® 3000 (color electrostatic plotter available from Xerox Co.) diluted with a 50-fold amount of Isopar® H by a developing apparatus having a pair of plane developing electrodes under the application of -200 volts of bias voltage to electrically deposit toners on the unexposed areas of the electrophotographic material and then the developed electrophotographic material was rinsed in a bath of Isopar® H to remove background contamination in the non-image areas.

After being cooled to room temperature, the coated paper was separated from the electrophotographic material. The whole image formed on the coated paper was transferred by heat to the coated paper together with the removable layer and a suitable mat was produced on the surface of the removable layer. There was little difference between the image quality of the obtained image and that of an image obtained by printing. The toners transferred on the coated paper were covered with the thermoplastic resin of the removable layer so that these toners were not rubbed off. [Example 203] Five grams of 4,4'-bis(diethylamino)-2,2'-dimethyl triphenylmethane as a photoconductive material, 4 g of binder resin Q-203 represented by the following formula, 0.8 g of resin P-219, 40mg of dye D-2, and 0.20 g of anilide compound B as a chemical sensitizer were dissolved in a mixture of 30 ml of methylene chloride and 30 ml of ethylene chloride to prepare a solution for a photosensitive layer. The solution was coated with a wire-wound rod on an electrically-conductive transparent substrate which comprises a polyethylene terephthalate substrate (100 µm in thickness) having deposited thereon indium oxide film and has a surface resistance of 10 3 Ω to form a photosensitive layer having about 4 µm thickness. The results obtained in an adhesion test with an adhesive-backed tape revealed that the adhesion of the photosensitive layer comprising star-type copolymer P-219 to the base was one ninetieth compared with a photosensitive layer without star-type copolymer P-219. The results demonstrate the maldistribution of the star-type copolymer to the surface of the photosensitive layer. The same solution of the thermoplastic resin as that of Example 201 was prepared, coated on the photosensitive layer and dried in the same procedure as that of Example 201 to form a transfer removable layer on the photosensitive layer. An adhesive-backed tape was attached to the surface of the removable layer and peeled off. As a result, only the removable layer was easily separated from the photosensitive layer as shown in the removable layer of Example 202.

The coating was dried at 60 °C for 30 seconds and at 120°C for 1 hour to form a charge transport layer having thickness of about 18µm. Thus, the obtained electrophotographic receptor comprised the two functional layers of the charge generation layer and the charge transport layer. The same solution of the thermoplastic resin as that of Example 201 was prepared, coated on the above photoreceptor and dried in the same procedure as that of Example 201 to form a transfer removable layer.

The charged electrophotographic material was imagewise exposed to light by a Ga-Al-As semiconductor laser (oscillation wavelength 780 nm) having 5mW of output power with 30 erg/cm 2 of irradiation measured on the electrophotographic material at a pitch of 25 µm at a scanner speed of 300 cm/sec in a mode of negative mirror image, based on the information about yellow color among information about yellow, magenta, cyan and black, which were recorded in a hard disk of a system as digital image data which were obtained by reading an original using a color scanner and conducting color separation and correction regarding some color reproductions specific to the system. Subsequently, the exposed electrophotographic material was reversely developed using a yellow liquid developer for a signature system (available from Eastman Kodak) 75-fold (by weight) 'diluted with Isopar® H(available from Esso Standard Oil Co.) by a developing apparatus having a pair of plane developing electrodes under the application of +400 volts of bias voltage to electrically deposit toners on the exposed areas of the electrophotographic material and then the developed electrophotographic material was rinsed in a bath of Isopar® H to remove background contamination in the non-image areas. The above procedure was repeated using each information of magenta, cyan and black instead of the information of yellow. The image formed on the obtained electrophotographic material after image-form production was fixed using a heat roller. Subsequently, coated paper (regular printing size) was laid on the electrophotographic material having fixed image and then transferred at a speed of 10 mm/sec between a pair of rubber rollers which were in contact each other under a pressure of 147 N/cm 2 (15 kgf/cm 2 ) and whose surfaces were constantly maintained at 120°C. After being cooled to room temperature, the coated paper was separated from the electrophotographic material. Image formed on the coated paper was visually evaluated regarding fog and image quality. All of the toners deposited on the electrophotographic material were transferred by heat to the coated paper together with the removable layer and a suitable mat was produced on the surface of the removable layer so that clear image without background contamination was obtained. The obtained image had the same image quality as that of the original. The toners transferred on the coated paper were covered with the thermoplastic resin of the removable layer so that these toners were not rubbed off and thereby the image had sufficient strength. Therefore, it revealed that the electrophotographic material according to the present invention showed excellent properties as an material for color proofing. [Example 302] A mixture of 200 g of photoconductive zinc oxide, 80 g of binder resin B-302 represented by the following formula, 8 of resin P-301, 0.018 g of dye D-1, 0.20 g of N-hydroxy succinic acid imide and 300 g of toluene was charged in a homogenizer (available from NIHON SEIKI CO.,LTD) and dispersed at 7 × 10 3 rpm for 10 minutes. After 0.3 g of phthalic anhydride and 0.01 g of o-chlorophenol were added to the dispersion, the mixture was dispersed at 1×10 3 rpm for 1 minute to prepare a dispersion for a photosensitive layer. The dispersion was coated with a wire bar on a base for a paper master having 0.2 mm thickness subjected to both of a treatment for electrical conductivity and a treatment for solvent resistance. After being dried by air to be tack-free, the coating was dried in a circulating oven at 140 °C for 1 hour to obtain a photosensitive layer having 10 µm thickness. The results obtained in an adhesion test with an adhesive-backed tape revealed that the adhesion of the photosensitive layer comprising graft-type copolymer P-301 to the base was one-sixtieth compared with a photosensitive layer without graft-type copolymer P-301. The results demonstrate the maldistribution of the graft-type copolymer to the surface of the photosensitive layer. The same solution of the thermoplastic resin as that of Example 301 was prepared, coated on the photosensitive layer and dried in the same procedure as that of Example 301 to form a transfer removable layer on the photosensitive layer. An adhesive-backed tape was attached to the surface of the removable layer and peeled off. As a result, only the removable layer was easily separated from the photosensitive layer. The electrophotographic material thus obtained was charged by corona discharge to -600 volts in dark. The charged electrophotographic material was imagewise exposed to light by a semiconductor laser (oscillation wavelength 780 nm) with 25 erg/cm 2 of irradiation measured on the surface of the electrophotographic material in a mode of positive mirror image, based on the information about yellow color. The residual voltage on the exposed areas was -120 volts. Subsequently, the exposed electrophotographic material was positively developed using a yellow toner for VERSATECK® 3000 (color electrostatic plotter available from Xerox Co.) diluted with a 50-fold amount of Isopar® H by a developing apparatus having a pair of plane developing electrodes under the application of -200 volts of bias voltage to electrically deposit toners on the unexposed areas of the electrophotographic material and then the developed electrophotographic material was rinsed in a bath of Isopar® H to remove background contamination in the non-image areas. The above procedure was repeated using each information of magenta, cyan and black instead of the information of yellow. Subsequently, coated paper was laid on the electrophotographic material developed with the four color toners and then transferred at a speed of 6 mm/sec between a pair of rubber rollers which were in contact each other under a pressure of 98 N/cm 2 (10 kgf/cm 2 ) and whose surfaces were constantly maintained at 120°C. After being cooled to room temperature, the coated paper was separated from the electrophotographic material. The whole image formed on the coated paper was transferred by heat to the coated paper together with the removable layer and a suitable mat was produced on the surface of the removable layer. There was little difference between the image quality of the obtained image and that of an image obtained by printing. The toners transferred on the coated paper were covered with the thermoplastic resin of the removable layer so that these toners were not rubbed off. [Example 303] Five grams of 4,4'-bis(diethylamino)-2,2'-dimethyl triphenylmethane as a photoconductive material, 4 g of binder resin B-303 represented by the following formula, 0.8 g of resin P-324, 40mg of dye D-2, and 0.20 g of anilide compound B as a chemical sensitizer were dissolved in a mixture of 30 ml of methylene chloride and 30 ml of ethylene chloride to prepare a solution for a photosensitive layer. The solution was coated with a wire-wound rod on an electrically-conductive transparent substrate which comprises a polyethylene terephthalate substrate (100 µm in thickness) having deposited thereon indium oxide film and has a surface resistance of 10 3 Ω. After being dried to be tack-free, the coating was dried at 120 °C for 1 hour t o form a photosensitive layer having about 4µm thickness. The results obtained in an adhesion test with an adhesive-backed tape revealed that the adhesion of the photosensitive layer comprising graft-type copolymer P-324 to the base was one ninetieth compared with a photosensitive layer without graft-type copolymer P-324. The results demonstrate the maldistribution of the graft-type copolymer to the surface of the photosensitive layer. The same solution of the thermoplastic resin as that of Example 301 was prepared, coated on the photosensitive layer and dried in the same procedure as that of Example 301 to form a transfer removable layer on the photosensitive layer. An adhesive-backed tape was attached to the surface of the removable layer and peeled off. As a result, only the removable layer was easily separated from the photosensitive layer as shown in the removable layer of Example 302. The image quality and the transfer properties of the electrophotographic material thus obtained were evaluated in the same manner as that of Example 301 except that a He-Ne laser having an oscillation wavelength of 630 nm was used instead of the semiconductor laser having an oscillation wavelength of 780 nm. A clear color copy image without background contamination was obtained on coated paper after transfer. The image had sufficient strength. [Example 304] A mixture of 5 g of the same bis-azo pigment as that used in Example 4, 95 g of tetrahydrofuran, and 30 g of a solution of polyester resin Byron® 200 (available from TOYOBO CO., LTD), 5g in tetrahydrofuran, was sufficiently ground in a ball mill. Then, the mixture was drawn and 520 g of tetrahydrofuran were added thereto while stirring. The obtained dispersion was coated with a wire-wound rod on the same electrically-conductive transparent substrate as that used in Example 303 to form a charge generation layer having about 0.7 µm thickness. Subsequently, a solution consisting of 20 g of the same hydrazone compound as that used in Example 4, 20 g of polycarbonate resin Lexan® 121 (available from GE Co.), 2 g of resin P-331, 0.04 g of isophorone diisocyanate, 0.001 g of tetrabutoxy titanate and 160 g of tetrahydrofuran was coated with a wire-wound rod on the charge generation layer. The coating was dried at 60 °C for 30 seconds and at 120 °C for 1 hour to form a charge transport layer having thickness of about 18µm. Thus, the obtained electrophotographic receptor comprised the two functional layers of the charge generation layer and the charge transport layer. The same solution of the thermoplastic resin as that of Example 301 was prepared, coated on the above photoreceptor and dried in the same procedure as that of Example 301 to form a transfer removable layer. The image quality and the transfer properties of the electrophotographic material thus obtained were evaluated in the same manner as that of Example 303. A clear color copy image without background contamination was obtained on coated paper after transfer. The image had sufficient strength. [Examples 305-310] Electrophotographic materials for color proofing were prepared in the same manner as that of Example 302 except that 8 g of a resin P shown in the following Table 305, compounds for crosslinking shown in the following Table 305 to amount and 0.020 g of dye D-3 were used instead of 8 g of resin P-301, 0.018 g of dye D-1, 0.3 g of phthalic anhydride and 0.01 g of o-chlorophenol.

[Examples 329-333] Electrophotographic materials for color proofing were prepared in the same manner as that of Example 301 except that a combination of a thermoplastic resin with a solvent for coating shown in the following Table 308 was used instead of the thermoplastic resin poly(vinyl acetate/crotonic acid) (molar ratio 95/5) of the transfer removable layer.

After 0.1 g of phthalic anhydride and 0.002 g of o-chlorophenol were added to the dispersion, the mixture was dispersed for 2 minutes. Then, the glass beads were separated by filtration to prepare a dispersion for a photosensitive layer. The dispersion was coated with a wire bar on a base for a paper master having 0.2 mm thickness subjected to both of a treatment for electrical conductivity and a treatment for solvent resistance. After being dried by air to be tack-free, the coating was dried in a circulating oven at 110 °C for 20 seconds and at 140 °C for 1 hour to obtain a photosensitive layer having 8 µm thickness. A solution having the following contents was then prepared to form a transfer removable layer on the photosensitive layer. Poly(vinyl acetate/crotonic acid) (95/5, Mw 5×10 4 ) 3 g 28 % Aqueous Ammonia 1 g Ethanol 97 g After the above solution was coated with a wire bar on the photosensitive layer, the coating was dried in an oven at 120 °C for 20 seconds to prepare an electrophotographic material for color proofing, comprising a transfer removable layer having 1.3 µm thickness. The image quality and the transfer properties of the electrophotographic material for color proofing obtained in Example 401 was evaluated as follows: The electrophotographic material of Example 401 was charged by corona discharge to +450 volts in dark. The charged electrophotographic material was imagewise exposed to light by a Ga-Al-As semiconductor laser (oscillation wavelength 780 nm) having 5mW of output power with 30 erg/cm 2 of irradiation measured on the electrophotographic material at a pitch of 25µm at a scanner speed of 300 cm/sec in a mode of negative mirror image, based on the information about yellow color among information about yellow, magenta, cyan and black, which were recorded in a hard disk of a system as digital image data which were obtained by reading an original using a color scanner and conducting color separation and correction regarding some color reproductions specific to the system. Subsequently, the exposed electrophotographic material was reversely developed using a yellow liquid developer for a signature system (available from Eastman Kodak) 75-fold (by weight) diluted with Isopar® H (available from Esso Standard Oil Co.) by a developing apparatus having a pair of plane developing electrodes under the application of +400 volts of bias voltage to electrically deposit toners on the exposed areas of the electrophotographic material and then the developed electrophotographic material was rinsed in a bath of Isopar® H to remove background contamination in the non-image areas. The above procedure was repeated using each information of magenta, cyan and black instead of the information of yellow. The image formed on the obtaine delectrophotograpnic material after image production was fixed using a heat roller. Subsequently, coated paper (regular printing paper) was laid on the electrophotographic material having fixed image and then transferred at a speed of 10 mm/sec between a pair of rubber rollers which were in contact each other under a pressure of 147 N/cm 2 (15 kgf/cm 2 ) and whose surfaces were constantly maintained at 120°C. After being cooled to room temperature, the coated paper was separated from the electrophotographic material. Image formed on the coated paper was visually evaluated regarding fog and image quality. All of the toners deposited on the imaging member were transferred by heat to the coated paper together with the removable layer and a suitable mat was produced on the surface of the removable layer so that clear image without background contamination was obtained. The obtained image had the same image quality as that of the original. The toners transferred on the coated paper were covered with the thermoplastic resin of the removable layer so that these toners were not rubbed off and thereby the image had sufficient strength. Therefore, it revealed that the imaging member according to the present invention showed excellent properties as an electrophotographic material for color proofing. [Example 402] A mixture of 200 g of photoconductive zinc oxide, 80 g of binder resin B-402 represented by the following formula, 8 g of resin P-401, 0.018 g of dye D-1, 0.20 g of N-hydroxy succinic acid imide and 300 g of toluene was charged in a homogenizer (available from NIHON SEIKI CO.,LTD) and dispersed at 7×10 3 rpm for 10 minutes. After 0.3 g of phthalic anhydride and 0.01 g of o-chlorophenol were added to the dispersion, the mixture was dispersed at 1 × 10 3 rpm for 1 minute to prepare a dispersion for a photosensitive layer. The dispersion was coated with a wire bar on a base for a paper master having 0.2 mm thickness subjected to both of a treatment for electrical conductivity and a treatment for solvent resistance. After being dried by air to be tack-free, the coating was dried in a circulating air oven at 140 °C for 1 hour to obtain a photosensitive layer having 10 µm thickness. The results obtained in an adhesion test with an adhesive-backed tape revealed that the adhesion of the photosensitive layer comprising block-type copolymer P-401 to the base was one sixtieth compared with a photosensitive layer without block-type copolymer P-401. The results demonstrate the maldistribution of the block-type copolymer to the surface of the photosensitive layer. The same solution of the thermoplastic resin as that of Example 401 was prepared, coated on the photosensitive layer and dried in the same procedure as that of Example 401 to form a transfer removable layer on the photosensitive layer. An adhesive-backed tape was attached to the surface of the removable layer and peeled off. As a result, only the removable layer was easily separated from the photosensitive layer. The electrophotographic material thus obtained was charged by corona discharge to -600 volts in dark. The charged electrophotographic material was imagewise exposed to light by a semiconductor laser (oscillation wavelength 780 nm) with 25 erg/cm 2 of irradiation measured on the surface of the electrophotographic material in a mode of positive mirror image, based on the information about yellow color. The residual voltage on the exposed areas was -120 volts.

The above procedure was repeated using each information of magenta, cyan and black instead of the information of yellow. Subsequently, coated paper was laid on the electrophotographic material developed with the four color toners and then transferred at a speed of 6 mm/sec between a pair of rubber rollers which were in contact each other under a pressure of 98 N/cm 2 (10 kgf/cm 2 ) and whose surfaces were constantly maintained at 120°C. After being cooled to room temperature, the coated paper was separated from the electrophotographic material. The whole image formed on the coated paper was transferred by heat to the coated paper together with the removable layer and a suitable mat was produced on the surface of the removable layer. There was little difference between the image quality of the obtained image and that of an image obtained by printing. The toners transferred on the coated paper were covered with the thermoplastic resin of the removable layer so that these toners were not rubbed off.

The solution was coated with a wire-wound rod on an electrically-conductive transparent substrate which comprises a polyethylene terephthalate substrate (100 µm in thickness) having deposited thereon indium oxide film and has a surface resistance of 10 3 Ω. After being dried to be tack-free, the coating was dried at 120 °C for 1 hour to form a photosensitive layer having about 4µm thickness. The results obtained in an adhesion test with an adhesive-backed tape revealed that the adhesion of the photosensitive layer comprising block-type copolymer P-417 to the base was one ninetieth compared with a photosensitive layer without block-type copolymer P-417.

The coating was dried at 60 °C for 30 seconds and at 120 °C for 1 hour to form a charge transport layer having thickness of about 18µm. Thus, the obtained electrophotographic receptor comprised the two functional layers of the charge generation layer and the charge transport layer. The same solution of the thermoplastic resin as that of Example 401 was prepared, coated on the above photoreceptor and dried in the same procedure as that of Example 401 to form a transfer removable layer.
