摘要:
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.
摘要:
Imaging of positive-working, IR-sensitive printing plates that use a novolac resin as the major polymer component of the imaging layer takes place with greater post-exposure latitude. In various embodiments, the imaging layer includes one or more poly(vinyl phenol) polymers or copolymers combined with one or more vinyl phenol monomers.
摘要:
Gum solutions are formulated to protect 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, followed by development. In various embodiments, the developer and gum solution have different compositions but contain at least one polycarboxylic acid—which may be a polymer—that beneficially desensitizes the surface after the unexposed photopolymer layer is removed.
