Abstract:
A heat-sensitive imaging element includes an IR dye, and more particularly a heat-sensitive lithographic printing plate precursor includes the IR dye. A method for making the lithographic printing plate produces a print-out image of high contrast upon exposure to IR-radiation or heating.
Abstract:
A method of making a lithographic printing plate includes the steps of: (a) providing a lithographic printing plate precursor including a support having a hydrophilic surface or which is provided with a hydrophilic layer, and a coating on the support, the coating including (i) at least one image-recording layer which includes a photocurable composition, and (ii) on top thereof, an oxygen-barrier layer including a water-soluble or water-swellable polymer, b) image-wise exposing the coating, (c) optionally, heating the precursor in a pre-heating unit, (d) treating the image-wise exposed precursor with water or an aqueous solution to remove at least a portion of the oxygen-barrier layer, (e) mounting the treated precursor on a plate cylinder of a lithographic printing press, and (f) developing the precursor by rotating the plate cylinder while feeding dampening liquid and/or ink to the coating, thereby removing non-exposed areas of the image-recording layer.

A method of making a lithographic printing plate comprising the steps of: a) providing a lithographic printing plate precursor comprising (i) a support having a hydrophilic surface or which is provided with a hydrophilic layer, (ii) a photopolymerizable coating on said support, b) image-wise exposing said coating in a plate setter, c) developing the precursor, thereby removing the non-exposed areas of the coating from the support, whereby the developing step is carried out off-press in a gumming unit by treating the coating of the precursor with a gum solution.

A method of making a lithographic printing plate includes the steps of: (a) providing a lithographic printing plate precursor including a support having a hydrophilic surface or which is provided with a hydrophilic layer, and a coating on the support, the coating including (i) at least one image-recording layer which includes a photocurable composition, the composition including a compound which is capable of forming free radicals upon image-wise exposure, and (ii) on top thereof, an oxygen-barrier layer including a water-soluble or water-swellable polymer, (b) image-wise exposing the coating, (c) optionally, heating the precursor in a pre-heating unit, (d) treating the image-wise exposed precursor with water or an aqueous solution to remove at least a portion of the oxygen-barrier layer, thereby increasing the oxygen permeability of the coating to such an extent that curing of the non-exposed areas of the coating by ambient light is inhibited by quenching of free radicals with oxygen, (e) mounting the treated precursor on a plate cylinder of a lithographic printing press, and (f) developing the precursor by rotating the plate cylinder while feeding dampening liquid and/or ink to the coating, thereby removing non-exposed areas of the image-recording layer.
Abstract:
A photo-curable composition comprising a polymer or copolymer and a (meth)acrylate type monomer with more than one (meth)acrylate group per monomer molecule and two or more ethyleneoxy groups per (meth)acrylate group in said monomer is particularly suitable for use as a topcoat layer for phosphor or scintillator screens or panels, when said polymer is polymethyl methacrylate or a copolymer thereof.

In favor of adhesion a radiation image phosphor or scintillator panel comprises as an arrangement of layers, in consecutive order, an anodized aluminum support, a precoat layer and a phosphor or scintillator layer comprising needle-shaped phosphor or scintillator crystals, wherein said precoat layer has a thickness in the range from 4 μm to 15 μm when consisting of an organic polymer selected from the group consisting of cellyte, poly-acrylate, poly-methyl-methacrylate, poly-methylacrylate, polystyrene, polystyrene-acrylonitrile, polyurethane, hexafunctional polyacrylate, poly-vinylidene-difluoride, epoxy functionalized polymers or wherein said precoat layer has a thickness in the range from 1 μm to less than 5 μm when consisting of an organo-silane based polymer.
