Imaged members and method of preparation thereof

1. Field of the Invention A method of manufacturing a selectively relief-treated image member that comprises:(a) providing a precursor of the image member, the precursor comprising a surface having an image-forming layer comprising a photosensitive resist composition comprising:(i) a polymerizable material, and(ii) a binder;(b) delivering radiation image-wise to the precursor;(c) developing the precursor in a developer in order to selectively remove the image-forming layer in regions to which said radiation was not delivered image-wise in step (b); and(d) contacting the image-wise exposed precursor with a relief-treatment material, in order to selectively relief-treat regions of the surface of the precursor in which the image-forming layer was removed on development in step (c).
