Abstract:
Images can be provided using a method comprising thermally imaging a negative-working imageable element to provide an imaged element with exposed regions and non-exposed regions, the exposed regions consisting essentially of coalesced core-shell particles, and developing the imaged element on-press to remove only the non-exposed regions using a lithographic printing ink, fountain solution, or both. The imageable element comprises a single thermally-sensitive imageable layer consisting essentially of an infrared radiation absorbing compound and core-shell particles that coalesce upon thermal imaging. The core of the core-shell particles is composed of a hydrophobic thermoplastic polymer, the shell of the core-shell particles is composed of a hydrophilic polymer that is covalently bonded to the core hydrophobic thermoplastic polymer, and the thermally-sensitive imageable layer comprises less than 10 weight % of free polymer.
