    摘要: Process for the production of lithographic printing plates comprising (a) providing a lithographic substrate with a hydrophilic surface; (b) applying a negative working radiation-sensitive composition onto the hydrophilic surface, wherein the composition comprises: (i) one or more types of monomers and/or oligomers and/or polymers, each comprising at least one ethylenically unsaturated group accessible to a free-radical polymerization, (ii) at least one sensitizer which in the presence of at least one coinitiator and upon exposure to radiation of a wavelength of 300 to 750 to 1,100 nm initiates the free-radical polymerization of component (i); and (iii) at least one binder with acidic functional groups and is substantially not sensitive to the wavelength range of 480 to 750 nm; (c) image-wise exposure of the resulting negative working lithographic printing plate precursor to radiation selected from the wavelength range of 300 to 750 to 1,100 nm depending on the sensitizer or initiator system used; and (d) removing the non-irradiated areas by means of a treatment with an alkaline developer with a pH value in the range of 9 to 14 comprising (i) water, (ii) one or more alkali hydroxides in an amount sufficient for adjusting a pH value in the range of 9 to 14; and (iii) 1 to 30 wt.-% of at least one compound of formula (I) wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are each independently selected from C1-C12 alkyl groups and aryl groups, X is selected from —CH═CH—, —C≡C—, formula (II), formula (III), and formula (IV), n+m results in a value of 2 to 30 and p+q results in a value of 0 to 30, wherein in the case of p+q≠0 the ethylene oxide and propylene oxide units are present as blocks or randomly distributed.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a light-sensitive composition containing: (i) at least one diazonium polycondensation product or at least one system that can be radically polymerized and consists of photoinitiators and unsaturated compounds which can be radically polymerized or at least one hybrid system consisting of a diazonium polycondensation product and a system that can be radically polymerized and consists of photo initiators and unsaturated compounds which can be radically polymerized, (ii) at least one binding agent and optionally one or more exposure indicators, one or more dyes for increasing the image contrast and one or more acids for stabilizing the light-sensitive composition which is characterized in that the binding agent essentially consists of units (A, B, C, D), whereby A corresponds to formula (I), B corresponds to formula (II), C corresponds to formula (III) and D corresponds to formula (IV). The invention also relates to the use thereof for coating printing plates. The invention further relates to printing plates which are coated with said light-sensitive composition.

    摘要: A visible radiation sensitive composition is described which comprises a binder, one or more polymerizable compounds containing at least one polymerizable group, and one or more dyes having an absorption range in the emission range of the radiation source, characterized in that said composition comprises as an initiator an initiator system consisting of a metallocene as a photoinitiator and an onium compound as a coinitiator. The visible radiation sensitive composition shows an increased radiation sensitivity compared to the known radiation sensitive compositions and is especially suitable for recording materials such as printing plates, which can, in particular, also be exposed by means of laser radiation in the visible range.

    摘要: Lithographic printing plates are provided by imagewise exposing negative-working lithographic printing plate precursors having a negative-working radiation-sensitive imageable layer, followed by contacting with a processing solution that has a pH of at least 7 and up to and including 11. This processing solution also includes component (1) that is a nitrogen-containing base having an atmospheric pressure melting point of at least 40° C.; component (2) that is a non-ionic surfactant that independently has an atmospheric pressure melting point, glass transition temperature, or pour point of at least 40° C.; component (3) that is a hydroxy-containing solution promoter; and component (4) that is a hydrophilic surface protective compound. The method is carried out in a manner such that the exposed and processed precursor is not further treated with any liquid (such as gumming or rinsing solution) between processing and mounting onto a printing press.
