PURPOSE: To provide a photosensitive material effective in obtaining an image having excellent image quality.

CONSTITUTION: At least a strippable layer having the property of a barrier or the laminate of a strippable layer 3 and a barrier layer 4 and a photosensitive layer contg. a coloring material or the laminate of a layer 5 contg. a coloring material and a photosensitive layer 6 are successively laminated on a substrate 2 to obtain a photosensitive material. The strippable layer having the property of a barrier or the barrier layer 4 contains a polymer having ≤70°C glass transition temp. selected among a homopolymer of a (meth)acrylate monomer having an arom. ring or a (meth)acrylamide monomer having an arom. ring, a copolymer of such monomers and a copolymer of such a monomer with other copolymerizable monomer.
