摘要:
A set comprising an aqueous clean-out solution and an aqueous preservation solution, said set being suitable for developing a lithographic printing plate precursor, both said solutions having a pH between 2 and 10, characterized in that the clean-out solution has an aggressiveness towards an image area of said developed precursor as defined in the description of three or more, while the preservation solution has such an aggressiveness of less than three.
摘要:
A method of making a lithographic printing plate comprising the steps of: a) image-wise exposing a lithographic printing plate precursor, comprising a support having a hydrophilic surface or which is provided with a hydrophilic layer and, thereon, a light or heat sensitive coating comprising a photopolymerisable composition, b) processing said precursor with a first solution, consecutively with a second solution, thereby removing the coating from the support in the non-printing areas, wherein said first and second solutions are provided by a cascade system, wherein said second solution overflows into said first solution and said first solution overflows into a container to be further treated as waste, wherein said second solution is regenerated by adding a replenishing solution or a mixture of replenishing solutions at a rate of at least 5 ml/m2 of treated precursor and at most 100 ml/m2 of treated precursor, wherein said first and second solutions are circulated respectively by a first and second liquid conveying system, wherein the first solution present in said first liquid conveying system has a volume of at least Vmin and at most Vmax respectively defined by formula 1 and formula 2,
wherein Vmin and Vmax represent respectively the minimum and maximum volume present in said first liquid conveying system, each of them expressed in liter, wherein A and B represents a constant value of respectively 2 and 15, and wherein said processing width represents the width, expressed in m, inside the processing unit, perpendicular to the processing direction, which is available for processing plate precursors in a uniform way across their width.

摘要:
A method of preparing a lithographic printing plate comprising the steps of: - providing a lithographic printing plate precursor comprising a photopolymerizable coating provided on a hydrophilic support; - image-wise exposing the precursor; - pre-heating the exposed precursor; - developing the exposed precursor in a gum solution;
characterized in that after pre-heating and before developing the precursor an accelerated cooling of the precursor is carried out and the cooling does not essentially remove a part of the coating of the precursor.
