Abstract

Cycolor is a unique photoimaging system for the application in color copying. This system is based on the photo-hardening of acrylate monomer contained in microcapsules. The paper focuses on how this system provides color images via a single exposure and discusses the photochemistry of latent image formation. It was said, at that time, that the advantages of Cycolor are high image quality, rapid processing, excellent color quality, and tone reproducibility. On the other hand, problem with Cycolor seems to be its durability of images due to the reversible chemical reaction. From the technical point of view, the poor durability might be one of the reasons why Cycolor disappear.
