摘要: Hydrophilic substrates which are useful in preparing lithographic printing plates, contain a hydrophilic layer adhered to a sheet support. The hydrophilic layer contains as a key component about 30 weight % or more of a clay, and typically contains a crosslinked water-soluble binder; colloidal silica; and amorphous silica to provide a dry coating weight of about 5 g/m2 or more. The hydrophilic layer may be porous and such porous hydrophilic substrates are particularly useful for preparing lithographic printing plates by ink jet printing.

摘要: A method for directly imaging a lithographic printing surface using infrared radiation without the requirement of pre- or post-UV-light exposure, or heat treatment employs a printing plate which contains a support with a hydrophilic surface overcoated with an imaging layer. The imaging layer contains at least one polymer having bonded pendent groups which are hydroxy, carboxylic acid, tert-butyl-oxycarbonyl, sulfonamide, amide, nitrile, urea, or combinations thereof; as well as an infrared absorbing compound. The imaging layer may contain a second polymer which has bonded pendent groups which are 1,2-naphthoquinone diazide, hydroxy, carboxylic acid, sulfonamide, hydroxymethyl amide, alkoxymethyl amide, nitrile, maleimide, urea, or combinations thereof. The imaging layer may also contain a visible absorption dye, a solubility inhibiting agent, or both. In practice, the imaging layer is imagewise exposed to infrared radiation to produce exposed image areas in the imaged layer which have transient solubility in aqueous alkaline developing solution so that solubility is gradually lost over a period of time until the imaged areas become as insoluble as non-imaged areas. Within a short time period of the imaging exposure, the imaged layer is developed with an aqueous alkaline developing solution to form the lithographic printing surface. In this method, the infrared radiation preferably is laser radiation which is digitally controlled.

摘要: A lithographic printing surface is prepared using a thermal lithographic printing plate which requires no chemical development to remove areas of the imaged plate. The processless thermal lithographic printing plate has a sheet substrate; a porous, aluminosilicate hydrophilic layer on the sheet substrate; and a porous, thermally reactive imaging layer on the hydrophilic layer. The imaging layer is imaged using infrared laser radiation to produce an imaged layer. The imaged layer is treated with a conditioner liquid to produce a porous, planar, lithographic printing surface. By this method, the printing plate can be digitally imaged by infrared laser so that the imaged areas become ink receptive and the non-image area repel ink after simple treatment with a conditioner such as an aqueous surfactant solution such as a fountain solution containing an amphoteric surfactant.

摘要: Radiation-sensitive compositions, printing plates containing such compositions, imageable by infrared and ultraviolet/visible radiation and imaging method using same. The compositions comprise a thermal-activated acid generator; a cross-linking resin; a binder resin comprising a polymer containing reactive pendant groups selected from hydroxy, carboxylic acid, sulfonamide, and alkoxymethylamides; an infrared absorber; and optionally a UV/visible radiation-activated acid generator for UV/visible sensitization.

摘要: Lithographic printing plates for wet or waterless offset printing are disclosed which can be imagewise exposed using a digitally controlled IR laser. The invention comprises a laser imagable lithographic printing plate comprising a substrate (201), a photosensitive coating (202) on the substrate, and a water soluble laser ablatable top coating (264) containing dyes or polymers that absorb infra-red, ultraviolet and visible light. Laminated transparent polymer films and/or peelable polymeric coatings films (203) can be interposed between the coated substrate and a water soluble and/or organic solvent soluble laser ablatable top layer to augment plate production or image inscription on the plate.
