Abstract: The present invention provides methods of forming and using thermally imageable composite elements which may be developed into lithographic printing plates. More specifically, the present invention provides a method of forming thermally imageable composite elements which provide substantial developer resistance in desired regions, while maintaining white light desensitivity and durability.

Abstract: Negative-working, water-developable imageable elements, useful as printing plate precursors, and methods for their use, are disclosed. The elements can be imaged with ultraviolet radiation, with infrared radiation, or with heat. The elements contain an imageable composition that contains a latent Brönsted acid, a water-soluble or water-dispersible binder, and an acid-activated cross-linking agent.

Abstract: Dry, ablation-type, nitrocellulose-containing lithographic printing members include dual adjacent imaging layers, both including an absorber and at least one containing a binder (which may include or consist essentially of a melamine resin). The absorber of the nitrocellulose-containing layer is a pigment and this layer contains no absorbing dye, while the absorber of the other imaging layer includes or consists essentially of a dye.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention involve printing members that utilize a particle-fusion imaging mechanism but avoid susceptibility to handling damage. In particular, printing plates in accordance with the invention may utilize two phases, and these may originate, during manufacture, as two particle systems. Both systems are initially dispersed in a single coating applied as a layer, or in multiple coatings applied as adjacent layers, on a substrate. The second particle system exhibits a glass-transition or thermal coalescing temperature well above room temperature and also above the temperature at which the coating is dried. The coalescing temperature of the first particle system is below the drying temperature. As a result, when the coating is dried, the first particle system coalesces and forms a binder that entrains the second particle system, which has not coalesced. The binder formed by the first particle system is preferably insoluble in aqueous liquids, but is swellable or softened by such liquids, whereas the binder formed by the second particle system is preferably insoluble in and not swellable by aqueous liquids. Aqueous insolubility allows the dried (and ready-to-image) coating to resist handling damage, while swellability facilitates development.

Abstract: Gum solutions are formulated to develop a negative-working photopolymer imaging layer coated on an anodized aluminum substrate that has undergone a post-anodic sealing treatment with inorganic phosphate and inorganic fluoride. The gum solution contains at least one polycarboxylic acid—which may be a polymer—that beneficially desensitizes the surface after the unexposed photopolymer layer is removed.
