Abstract: A method of producing a printing plate comprises: (a) providing a printing plate precursor comprising a topmost etchable first layer and a second layer located below the first layer, wherein the first and second layers have different affinities for at least one printing liquid; (b) imagewise providing atomized fluid particles in an interaction zone located above the surface of the first layer; and (c) imagewise directing laser energy into the interaction zone, wherein the laser energy has a wavelength which is substantially absorbed by the atomized fluid particles in the interaction zone, and the absorption of the laser energy causes the atomized fluid particles to imagewise impart kinetic energy to and etch the first layer. Lithographic and flexographic printing plates may be prepared according to this method, including waterless plates, negative-and positive-working plates, and processless plates.

Abstract: An infrared-sensitive image forming material with which a plate can be directly formed by an infrared laser. The infrared-sensitive image forming material has a support having disposed thereon a recording layer whose solubility in an aqueous alkaline solution is altered by irradiation with an infrared laser. The recording layer has a binder phase formed of a polymer compound, a dispersion phase that is dispersed in the binder phase, and an infrared absorbent present in either one of the binder phase and the dispersion phase. Within a total incorporated amount of the infrared absorbent in the recording layer, a mass present in the dispersion binder is greater than a mass present in the binder phase. Namely, within the recording layer, the infrared absorbent is localized in the dispersion phase.

Abstract: This invention discloses lithographic printing plates having a thin releasable interlayer interposed between a rough and/or porous substrate and a radiation-sensitive layer. The radiation-sensitive layer is bonded to the rough and/or porous substrate through mechanical interlocking. Insertion of a thin releasable interlayer in such a configuration minimizes cross-contamination between the substrate and the radiation-sensitive layer, protects the substrate from attack by environmental species and reduces ink scumming tendency of the plates while still allowing good bonding between the substrate and the radiation-sensitive layer.

Abstract: Lithographic printing plates suitable for imaging by means of laser devices that emit in the near-infrared region. Laser output either ablates one or more plate layers or physically transforms a surface layer, in either case resulting in an imagewise pattern of features on the plate. The image features exhibit an affinity for ink or an ink-abhesive fluid that differs from that of unexposed areas.
