摘要:
On-press developable, negative-working, infrared radiation-sensitive lithographic printing plate precursors have an imageable layer on a substrate. The imageable layer includes a free radically polymerizable component, an initiator composition capable of generating free radicals upon exposure to infrared radiation, a polymeric binder, a first infrared radiation absorbing compound that has a tetraaryl pentadiene chromophore, and a second infrared radiation absorbing compound that is different than the first infrared radiation absorbing compound. The first IR absorbing compound absorbs in both the IR and visible regions of the electromagnetic spectrum and provides coloration for visual inspection of the lithographic printing plates.
摘要:
Infrared radiation-sensitive, positive-working lithographic printing plate precursors have improved scratch resistance in their outermost imageable layer because that layer comprises a unique combination of first and second alkali solution-soluble or -dispersible resins. The first alkali solution-soluble or -dispersible resin is an acid-functionalized novolak or acid-functionalized resole resin. The second alkali solution-soluble or -dispersible resin is a polyurethane or polyurethane urea comprising a polysiloxane unit segment in the polyurethane or polyurethane urea backbone or a side chain.

Lithographic printing plate precursors can have an imageable layer that includes a polymeric binder having an acid number of at least 30 mg KOH/g of polymer to and including 150 mg KOH/g of polymer, at least 3 weight % of recurring units derived from one or more N-alkoxymethyl (alkyl)acrylamides or alkoxymethyl (alkyl)acrylates, at least 2 weight % of recurring units having pendant 1H-tetrazole groups, and at least 10 weight % of recurring units having pendant cyano groups. The use of such polymeric binders provides good bakeability and chemical solvent resistance, especially for positive-working precursors.
摘要:
A lithographic processing solution has a pH of less than 12 and comprises at least 0.001 and up to and including 1 weight % of a water-soluble or water-dispersible, non-IR-sensitive compound that has a heterocyclic moiety with a quaternary nitrogen in the 1-position of the heterocyclic ring, and has one or more electron donating substituents attached to the heterocyclic ring, at least one of which electron donating substituents is attached in the 2-position. This processing solution can be used to develop both single-layer and multi-layer positive-working lithographic printing plate precursors that have been imaged using infrared radiation.
摘要:
Electrochemically grained and anodized aluminum supports are treated with a post-treatment coating solution containing a polymer derived at least in part from vinyl phosphonic acid and phosphoric acid. This post-treated support is useful as substrates in the preparation of lithographic printing plate precursors. The post-treatment substrate treatment enables wide latitude in manufacturing and compatibility with silicate-free developers to achieve negligible background staining and oxide attack.
摘要:
Single- and multi-layer positive-working imageable elements include an ink receptive outer layer includes a primary polymeric binder that is a poly(vinyl phenol) or a phenolic polymer having certain acidic groups. The use of this type of polymeric binder makes the imaged elements developable in low pH (11 or less) alkaline developers.
摘要:
The present invention relates to IR-sensitive compositions containing an initiator system comprising: (a) at least one compound capable of absorbing IR light (b) at least one compound capable of producing radicals and (c) at least one polycarboxylic acid comprising an aromatic moiety substituted with a heteroatom selected from N, O and S and also at least two carboxyl groups wherein at least one of the carboxyl groups is bonded to the heteroatom via a methylene group. These compositions are inter alia extraordinarily suitable for the manufacture of printing plates.
摘要:
A radiation-sensitive composition comprises: (i) at least one component capable of absorbing IR radiation; and (ii) a diazonium polycondensation product soluble in an organic solvent; with the proviso that the composition does not contain components capable of reacting with decomposition products produced from IR radiation exposure of the diazonium polycondensation product. The composition may additionally comprise a polymeric binder of the type useful for conventional negative-working printing plates. The composition is suitable for preparing thermally imageable printing plate precursors and printing plates and may also be used in a method for providing an image on such plate precursors and printing plates.
