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: The present invention relates to negative-working imageable elements that can be used for the manufacture of printing plates. These imageable elements can be developed on on-press by the action of a lithographic printing ink used in combination with either water or a fountain solution. The imageable elements comprise an imageable layer that is not removable in water or fountain solution alone. The imageable layer includes a free radically polymerizable compound, a free radical initiator composition, an infrared radiation absorbing compound, and a polymeric binder comprising poly(alkylene oxide) pendant groups, and preferably additionally pendant cyano groups.

Abstract: A method for forming an image useful as a lithographic printing plate using an ink jet technique is disclosed. An imageable precursor that comprises an overlayer over a substrate is imaged with an imaging agent and developed with water or fountain solution. The overlayer comprises a thiosulfate-containing polymer. The imaging agent is a polar organic liquid comprising at least one functional group selected from hydroxyl, cyano, and lactone. The method retains the advantages of using data in digital form, yet does not require expensive and complex equipment for imaging. The imaged precursor can be developed with water or on press using fountain solution.
