Abstract:
Thermally imageable elements and methods for their preparation and use are disclosed. The elements contain, in order, a substrate; an underlayer; and an ink-repellent layer. The underlayer contains a crosslinked allyl functional polyurethane. A photothermal conversion material is present in either in the underlayer or in an absorber layer between the underlayer and the ink-repellent layer. Thermal imaging and development removes the ink-repellent layer and reveals the underlayer in the exposed regions to form an imaged element useful as a waterless lithographic printing plate.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a negative-working radiation imageable lithographic printing plate precursor, preferably having only two polymeric layers on a support. The first (bottom) layer is composed of oleophilic polymers and a photothermal converter which converts radiation to heat. The second polymeric layer (top) is composed of crosslinked hydrophilic polymers which absorb aqueous fountain solution and repel ink. The oleophilic polymers in the first layer contain functional groups are interlayer chemically bonded to the hydrophilic polymer in the second layer to provide interlayer adhesive bonding between the two layers. The plate is imagewise exposed to radiation, such as with an IR laser, resulting in non-ablative adhesion-weakening between the two layers so that the plate can be developed by fountain solution and/or ink on press whereby the top layer in the exposed area is removed on the press to reveal the ink-receptive image area. The top layer in the unexposed area remains as the non-image area.

Abstract:
A method for making a reusable printing plate in which a hydrophobic image area is formed on a hydrophilic plate surface containing a photocatalyst. The method includes the steps of carrying out a hydrophobic agent application process in which a solution containing an organic compound having a property of reacting with the plate surface by a heating process and a property of being decomposed by the action of the photocatalyst when irradiated by light having a higher energy than a band gap energy of the photocatalyst is applied on the plate surface; carrying out an image area formation process in which a part of the plate surface is subjected to a heating process to form a hydrophobic image area; and carrying out a non-image area formation process in which the organic compound applied to an area other than the hydrophobic image area on the plate surface is removed.
