Improved processes and products for laser thermal imaging are described. These improved processes and products utlilize an image rigidification element and significantly reduce halftone dot movement, swath boundary cracking and banding.
摘要:
Photopolymerizable composition comprising monomer, photoinitiator and triarylmethane or xanthene dye exhibit increased photospeed with an exposure to light above 400 nm with an intensity of at least 1500 lumen/sq. meter for one hour or more, with a preferred exposure of 15,000 lumen/sq. meter for 10 seconds or longer. A photospeed layer protected from exposure to oxygen has been shown to continue to maintain increased photospeed.
摘要:
Novel photopolymer compositions are disclosed which contain dyes that absorb strongly in the near infrared (near IR) region of the electromagnetic spectrum. These dyes are useful as photosensitizers for initiating a variety of photoimaging and photopolymerization reactions. Imaging Media are disclosed herein which are sensitive in the near infrared (near IR) region of the electromagnetic spectrum and which can initiate polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomer components in negative-acting photopolymer systems and/or which can initiate conversion of a leuco dye to its corresponding colored dye form. These imaging media comprise either a near IR dye photochemical sensitizer, a hexaarylbiimidazole (HABI) photoinitiator, a chain transfer agent, and a photopolymerizable material or a near IR dye photochemical sensitizer, a hexaarylbiimidazole (HABI) photoinitiator, and a leuco dye. These imaging media are useful in a variety of photopolymer products, including photoresists, proofing films, and holographic recording films.
摘要:
A peel-apart photosensitive element comprising in order: a strippable cover sheet; a photosensitive layer; an essentially non-photosensitive, non-tacky organic layer comprised of block or random polymers of at least one aromatic polymer and at least one non-aromatic monomer; and a support, wherein the photosensitive layer has a lowered peel force in relation to the cover sheet after exposure to actinic radiation.
摘要:

摘要:
An element containing, in order: a first strippable substrate; a substantially transparent, non-photosensitive, polymeric isolation layer having a coating weight of 10 to 150 mg/dm 2 ; an essentially non-photosensitive, non-tacky organic layer having a coating weight of 25 to 200 mg/dm 2 ; a pigmented photosensitive, preferably photopolymerizable layer; and a second different strippable substrate adjacent the photosensitive layer, wherein the photosensitive layer upon imagewise exposure to actinic radiation exhibits a lowered peel force relative to a system which does not have a polymeric isolation layer.
