Abstract: An ink composition useful for digital offset printing applications includes a colorant and a high viscosity thickening agent. The ink is formulated to incorporate a gellant into the ink set to help meet the requirement of two different viscosity or temperature pairs at two different stages of the ink delivery process. In lithography imaging a bulk ink is first transferred onto an anilox roll and then onto the imaging cylinder blanket. The first transfer from bulk ink to anilox roll requires the ink to have a low viscosity while the transfer from roll to imaging blanket requires a high viscosity. The addition of the gellant will increase the viscosity difference within the allowable temperature range thus increasing process latitude and robustness.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a plate design for use in variable data digital lithographic image forming devices. The disclosed plate design incorporates surface passivated carbon black filler material particles in a fluorosilicone polymer. The disclosed functionalized carbon black material compositions include hydrophobic carbon black particles passivated with polymerized pentafluorostyrene. The disclosed surface passivated carbon black particles have a diameter in a range of 50 nanometers to 1 micron, and enable enhances dispersion in fluorinated polymers, and fine dispersion in solvent. The disclosed surface passivated carbon black particles are particularly usable for improving operational characteristics of fluorosilocone-based reimageable surface layers of imaging members employed in the variable data digital lithographic image forming devices.

Abstract: An ink composition useful for digital offset printing applications includes a colorant and a high viscosity thickening agent. A process for variable data lithographic printing includes applying a dampening fluid to an imaging member surface; forming a latent image by evaporating the dampening fluid from selective locations on the imaging member surface to form hydrophobic non-image areas and hydrophilic image areas; developing the latent image by applying an ink composition comprising an ink component to the hydrophilic image areas, the ink composition comprising a high viscosity thickening agent to raise the viscosity of the composition from about 1.05 to about 2 times higher while maintaining excellent transfer to a substrate at low temperatures.
