    Abstract: Lithographic imaging using non-ablative printing members combines the benefits of simple construction, the ability to utilize traditional metal base supports, and amenability to imaging with low-power lasers that need not impart ablation-inducing energy levels. A representative printing member has a topmost layer that is ink-receptive and does not significantly absorb imaging radiation, a second layer thereunder that is hydrophilic and does absorb imaging radiation, and a metal substrate under the second layer. The printing member is selectively exposed to laser radiation in an imagewise pattern, and laser energy passes substantially unabsorbed through the first layer and is absorbed by the second layer. Heat builds up in the second layer sufficiently to detach the first layer, which is formulated to resist reattachment. But the first layer and, more significantly, the third layer act to dissipate heat from the second layer to prevent its ablation. Where the printing member has received laser exposure—that is, where the first and second layers have been detached—remnants of the first layer are readily removed to produce a finished printing plate.

    Abstract: Provided is a lithographic printing plate comprising a support substrate having disposed thereon an ablative-absorbing layer and, optionally, a durable, ink-accepting surface layer that is not ablative-absorbing. The ablative-absorbing layer may contain a high weight per cent of an organic sulfonic acid component. The printing plate may further comprise a hydrophilic polymeric layer interposed between the ablative-absorbing layer and the substrate. The printing plate also comprises a primer layer underlying the ablative-absorbing layer with an adhesion-promoting agent, such as a zirconium compound, present in the primer layer. Also provided are methods of preparing such lithographic printing plates, and methods of preparing imaged lithographic printing plates from such lithographic printing plates by imagewise exposure to a laser and a subsequent cleaning step with water or with a cleaning solution.
