Abstract:
A lithographic printing plate precursor includes: a support; and an image-recording layer containing (A) a polymerization initiator, (B) a sensitizing dye and (C) a polymerizable compound, and the image-recording layer or an undercoat layer which is optionally provided between the support and the image-recording layer comprises (D) a polymer compound comprising (a1) a repeating unit having a side chain having a structure represented by the following formula (a1-1) and (a2) a repeating unit having a side chain having at least one structure of the formulae (a2-1), (a2-2), (a2-3), (a2-4), (a2-5) and (a2-6) as defined herein.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method of concentrating a waste liquid produced by development, the method including: obtaining a waste liquid produced by: exposing a planographic printing plate precursor, including: an image recording layer including: an infrared absorbing dye, a polymerization initiator, and a polymerizable compound, and a protective layer on a support, and performing a development process by using a developer liquid that contains an anionic surfactant having a naphthalene skeleton and/or a nonionic surfactant having a naphthalene skeleton in an amount of 1-10% by mass, that contains an organic solvent that has a boiling temperature in a range of 100-300° C. in an amount of 2% by mass or less, and that has a pH of 6.0-9.5; and evaporation-concentrating the waste liquid such that [an amount of the waste liquid after the concentration/an amount of the waste liquid before the concentration] is from 1/10 to 1/2 on a volume basis.
Abstract:
A plate making method of a lithographic printing plate, includes performing the following steps a) to d) in this order: a) supplying a negative-working lithographic printing plate precursor having on a support an image-recording layer containing an infrared absorbing agent, an initiator represented by formula (I) as defined herein and a polymerizable compound, wherein the image-recording layer is capable of being removed with at least one of ink and dampening water, b) image-exposing the negative-working lithographic printing plate precursor with an infrared laser, c) exposing the negative-working lithographic printing plate precursor to light for 5 minutes or more under a white lamp which has one light emission peak at 400 to 500 nm and one light emission peak at 500 to 600 nm and does not emit light at 380 nm or less, and d) removing an unexposed area with at least one of ink and dampening water.
Abstract:
