Abstract:
A method of developing a laser sensitive lithographic printing plate with ink and/or fountain solution is described. The printing member comprises on a substrate a photosensitive layer soluble or dispersible in ink and/or fountain solution and capable of hardening upon exposure to a laser. The plate is exposed with a laser, deactivated, and then on-press developed with ink and/or fountain solution. Alternatively, the plate is developed with ink and/or fountain solution or the like off press, and then mounted on press for lithographic printing. The deactivation or off-press development allows the plate to be handled on press under white light or other light which is unsafe for a non-deactivated plate.
Abstract:
A method for producing a lithographic printing plate is provided, wherein, in the non-alkaline development of a lithographic printing plate precursor having a protective layer, even if the protective layer components are mingled into the developer, the reduction in development removability of the image recording layer and the generation of development scum can be inhibited; an on-press development type lithographic printing plate precursor with excellent inking property, high scratch resistance, satisfied on-press developability and good fine line reproducibility is provided; and a lithographic printing method is provided, each of which is a method for producing a lithographic printing plate, comprising: imagewise exposing a lithographic printing plate precursor comprising a support, an image recording layer and a protective layer, and rubbing the plate surface by a rubbing member of an automatic processor in the presence of a developer at a pH of 2 to 10 to remove the protective layer and the image recording layer in the unexposed area; a lithographic printing plate precursor comprising a support, an image recording layer removable with a printing ink and/or a fountain solution, and a protective layer containing a polyvinyl alcohol having a carboxyl group and/or a sulfonic acid group within the molecule; and a lithographic printing method comprising on-press development.
Abstract:
The invention provides a planographic printing plate precursor that is writable by laser exposure and is composed of a support, a photosensitive recording layer formed on the support, and a backcoat layer containing an epoxy resin, the backcoat layer being formed on the side of the support opposite to the photosensitive recording layer side; and a stack of the planographic printing plate precursors. According to the invention, scratches on the photosensitive recording side of the planographic printing plate precursor can be prevented when brought into contact with another planographic printing plate precursor in the stack without interleaving slip sheets, and productivity in a plate making process can be improved.
