          Application 07/714,568                                                      



                                      APPENDIX                                        

                    26.  A presensitized plate which comprises a roughened            
          and anodized aluminum support having provided thereon two                   
          positive working light-sensitive layers, one of which layers                
          being a light-sensitive layer adjacent to or near the support and           
          comprising an ester obtained by reacting 1,2-naphthoquinone-2-              
          diazide-5-sulfonyl chloride with a polyhydroxy compound and an              
          alkali-soluble resin that becomes soluble in a developer upon               
          exposure to light and the other light-sensitive layer comprising            
          an ester obtained by reacting 1,2-naphthoquinone-2-diazide-5-               
          sulfonyl chloride with a polyhydroxy compound, an alkali-soluble            
          resin and a dye that becomes soluble in a developer upon exposure           
          to light, wherein a dye concentration in the light-sensitive                
          layer adjacent to or near the support is lower than that in the             
          other light sensitive-layer, and said two light-sensitive layers            
          are obtained by (i) coating on the support a first photosensitive           
          solution being free of a dye and containing the ester obtained by           
          reacting 1,2-naphthoquinone-2-diazide-5-sulfonyl chloride with a            
          polyhydroxy compound, the alkali-soluble resin and a solvent to             
          form the light-sensitive layer adjacent to or near the support,             
          (ii) then coating a second photo-sensitive solution including the           
          ester obtained by reacting 1,2-naphthoquinone-2-diazide-5-                  
          sulfonyl chloride with a polyhydroxy compound, the alkali-soluble           
          resin, the dye and a solvent to form the other light-sensitive              
          layer, and (iii) then drying the light-sensitive layers thereby             
          forming the two positive working light-sensitive layers.                    

                    27.  A presensitized plate which comprises an aluminum            
          support, a surface of which is grained and anodized, and two                
          positive working light-sensitive layers on said surface, one of             
          which layers being a light-sensitive layer adjacent to or near              
          the support and comprising an o-naphthoquinone diazide compound             
          and an alkali-soluble resin that becomes soluble in a developer             
          upon exposure to light and the other light-sensitive layer                  
          comprising an o-naphthoquinone diazide compound, an alkali-                 
          soluble resin and a dye that becomes soluble in a developer upon            
          exposure to light, wherein the o-naphthoquinone diazide compound            
          contained in the two light-sensitive layers are identical, a dye            

                                          11
