Abstract:
A copolymer includes (i) a plurality of ethylenic moieties A having a structure according to the following formula: wherein R2 and R3 independently represent hydrogen, a halogen or an optionally substituted linear, branched or cyclic alk(en)yl group, or an optionally substituted aromatic or heteroaromatic group, and (ii) a plurality of acetal moieties B having a structure according to the following formula: wherein L represents a divalent linking group; x=0 or 1 and R1 represents an optionally substituted aromatic or heteroaromatic group including at least one hydroxyl group and optionally one or more additional substituent(s), and at least one electron withdrawing group in ortho or para position relative to the at least one hydroxyl group.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for processing a lithographic printing plate include a plate transport for conveying the plate through the apparatus, a plate detector for locating the plate in the apparatus and for determining a plate width, one or more nozzles for depositing developer on the plate, wherein the one or more nozzles are arranged to shuttle over the plate or are arranged as a fixed array that spans at least the width of the plate. The plate detector is coupled to the one or more nozzles to selectively actuate the one or more nozzles that are positioned to deposit developer across the plate area, which results in a significant reduction of developer consumption. In preferred embodiments, the nozzles apply developer in accordance with the image on the plate, which enables an even lower consumption of developer.
Abstract:
A copolymer includes (i) a plurality of ethylenic moieties A having a structure according to the following formula: wherein R2 and R3 independently represent hydrogen, a halogen, or an optionally substituted linear, branched, or cyclic alk(en)yl group, or an optionally substituted aromatic or heteroaromatic, and (ii) a plurality of acetal moieties B having a structure according to the following formula: wherein L represents a divalent linking group; x=0 or 1; and R1 represents an optionally substituted aromatic or heteroaromatic group including at least one hydroxyl group. Use of these polymers in the coating of lithographic printing plates provides a good abrasion resistance while the balance between the ink acceptance, arising from the ethylenic moieties, and the solubility in an alkaline developer, arising form the acetal moieties, can be controlled efficiently.
