摘要:
A material is disclosed which is suitable for making a flexographic printing plate and comprises in the order given a base, a photopolymer layer and a photothermographic or thermographic recording layer which contains an organic silver salt. By image-wise exposing the recording layer, a photomask is obtained through which the photopolymer layer can be subsequently exposed. Using a suitable solvent, the (photo)thermographic recording layer can be removed and the unexposed areas of the photopolymer layer can be washed out simultaneously in a single development step. The relief image thus obtained can be used as a print master for flexographic printing.
摘要:
A material is disclosed which is suitable for making a flexographic printing plate and comprises in the order given a base, a photopolymer layer, a barrier layer wherein the main component is a polymer different from gelatin, and an ink receiving layer wherein the main component is gelatin. An image having a high optical density can be printed on the ink receiving layer by image-wise jetting a water-based ink because the gelatin in the ink receiving layer has excellent ink receptivity and because the barrier layer reduces diffusion of monomers from the photopolymer layer to the ink receiving layer. The image present in or on the ink receiving layer can then be used as a photomask for the subsequent flood exposure of the photopolymer layer. After processing, a flexographic printing plate is obtained.

A method for inkjet printing includes, in order, the steps of a) providing an ink-receiver having an image thereon; b) forming on the ink-receiver a layer of a first curable liquid and curing the layer; and c) forming an outermost layer of a second curable liquid only on the cured first curable liquid and at least partially covering the image; wherein the second curable liquid contains an abherent agent which is absent in the first curable liquid and wherein at least one of the first and second curable liquids is inkjet printed. Also, a polymerizable abherent agent may be used in a curable liquid to prevent falsification of an ID document. Also, a set of curable liquids for inkjet printing includes a first curable liquid and a second curable liquid wherein the second curable liquid contains an abherent agent which is absent in the first curable liquid.

A method of ink-jet printing including, in order, the steps of: a) providing a coated ink-receiving layer containing a polymeric binder and a curable compound; b) at least partially curing the coated ink-receiving layer according to a first image; and c) jetting at least one ink-jet ink on the ink-receiving layer according to a second image partially overlapping with the first image. The method can be advantageously used to apply authentication marks to a product, e.g., a security document or a product packaging.
摘要:
A method for preparing a tamperproof ID document comprising in order the steps of a) providing an ID document having at least one image on at least one outermost surface of said ID document; b) printing or coating a curable liquid on at least one of said outermost surfaces of said ID document thereby forming an outermost layer on said printed or coated outermost surface at least partially covering said at least one image; and c) curing said outermost layer; wherein said curable liquid comprises a polymerizable and/or a polymeric abherent agent and said printed or coated outermost surface is the surface of a layer or foil exclusive of porous pigment. Also disclosed is an ID document wherein the surface of an outermost layer at least partially covering an image on the ID document has a surface energy of less than 28 mN/m; and the use of an abherent agent-comprising curable composition to provide ID-documents with a substantially non-printable and substantially non-laminatable abhesive surface.

Information carrier precursor comprising: a rigid sheet or support and a receiving layer configuration comprising at least one layer, wherein at least one layer of the receiving layer configuration is opaque, porous, has the capability of being rendered substantially transparent by penetration by a lacquer provided at the outermost surface of the receiving layer configuration and comprises at least one pigment, at least one binder and a pattern-wise applied diffusion inhibitor selected from the group consisting of silicones substituted with a polyalkyleneoxy-group, anionic surfactants having a fluoroalkyl-group with at least 7 carbon atoms and/or an alkyl group with at least 10 carbon atoms and/or an alkenyl group with at least 10 carbon atoms and/or two alkyl groups with at least 8 carbon atoms and cationic surfactants having a fluoroalkyl-group with at least 7 carbon atoms and/or an alkyl group with at least 10 carbon atoms and/or two alkyl groups with at least 8 carbon atoms; a method for producing the above-mentioned information carrier precursor; a method for producing an information carrier; and information carriers produced therewith.
摘要:
A photosensitive element is disclosed, and a process of forming an image with it, comprising, in order, a support with an optional subbing layer (1), a metal image forming layer, a photosensitive layer, and a transparent cover sheet with an optional subbing layer (2).After exposure a delamination step is performed thereby giving rise to a positive and a negative metal image. In a most preferred embodiment the metal layer is a bismuth layer.
摘要:
A coating device for coating a peripheral surface of a sleeve body with a coating formulation includes a vertical support column for supporting a sleeve body in a vertical position coaxial with a coating axis, a carriage slideable along the vertical support column, and an annular coating stage attached to the carriage and moveable therewith for containing the coating formulation and for coating a layer of the coating formulation onto the peripheral surface of the sleeve body during a sliding movement of the carriage along the vertical support column. The coating device includes an irradiation stage that is arranged to be moveable with the annular coating stage and to provide radiation to at least partially cure the layer of coating formulation onto the peripheral surface so as to prevent flow off of the coating formulation.
