摘要:
The invention relates to a method for regenerating or producing for the first time a surface on a sleeve for a printing machine by means of a new coating, wherein the coating protects against wear and corrosion. This coating comprises a tungsten carbide/cobalt (WC-Co) ceramic layer, which is applied to the surface by an HVOF process. The sleeve is provided with an engravable surface layer of WC-Co, which is applied to an adherent surface (HG).

There is described an intaglio printing plate (1; 1 *) for the production of banknotes and like printed securities, which intaglio printing plate comprises an engraved polymer layer (10) and wherein a surface of the engraved polymer layer is covered by one or more coatings (100; 200, 300) including an outer coating (100; 300) made of a wear-resistant material. The outer coating (100; 300) is advantageously formed by physical vapour deposition (PVD) of the wear-resistant material. Also described is a method of manufacturing the intaglio printing plate (1; 1 *).

Constructions useful as lithographic printing plates include metallic inorganic layers exhibiting both hydrophilicity and substantial durability at very thin application levels. These materials ablatively absorb imaging radiation, thereby facilitating direct imaging without chemical development. They can also be used to form optical interference structures which, in addition to providing color, likewise absorb imaging radiation and ablate in response to imaging pulses.

An object is to provide a printing plate material which can be adapted to digitization of the printing process and recycled and a method for renewing it. As the printing plate material, there can be used one which includes a substrate on the surface of which a coat layer containing a titanium oxide photocatalyst and at least one member selected from Fe 2+ , Ni 2+ , Mn 2+ , Cr 3+ , and Cu 2+ is formed. In an initial state of the printing plate as prepared, it is adjusted to a state where the surface of the coat layer is hydrophobic. This surface is irradiated with ultraviolet rays to convert a part of the surface to a hydrophilic surface. This conversion is performed based on digital data corresponding to an image to be printed. In this case, the hydrophobic portion is used as a printing image portion and the hydrophilic portion is used as a non-printing image portion. After completion of the printing, the compound is applied again to change the surface of the coat layer into the initial state of the printing plate as prepared, in which the surface of the coat layer exhibits hydrophobicity again.

The invention relates to a printing mould and to a method for altering the wetting characteristics of a printing mould with a semiconductor surface. To this end, the surface of the printing mould is first put in an essentially uniform chemical state with a first wetting behaviour. Parts of all of the areas of the semiconductor surface are then put into a second chemical state which has a second wetting property that is different from the first.
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.
