Abstract: The invention relates to the development of lithographic printing plates and comprises the application of a thin film of developer solution to each plate in a controlled manner using a jetting printhead. Sensors and control means activate and deactivate the jetting printhead in response to the presence or absence of a plate. The developer is allowed to dwell on the plate as it is conveyed across a support structure for a sufficient time to allow for percolation into and/or dissolution of the soluble areas of the coating and is then washed off and sent to waste.

Abstract: A method for producing a lithographic plate from a negative working, radiation imageable plate having an oleophilic resin coating that reacts to radiation by cross linking and is non-ionically adhered to a hydrophiiic substrate. The steps include imagewise radiation exposing the coating to produce an imaged plate having partially reacted image areas including unreacted coating material, and completely unreacted nonimage areas; developing the plate without solubilization by removing only the unreacted, nonimage areas from the substrate while retaining unreacted material in the image areas; and blanket exposing the developed plate with a source of energy which further reacts the retained unreacted material in the image areas. Development is preferably by mechanical removal of the non-image areas.

Abstract: A lithographic printing plate, a method of developing the imaged plate, and a printing press, wherein a photosensitive (PS) coating on the plate is comprised of water insoluble active materials such that when the plate is developed pre-press or on press the PS coating is mechanically removed from the background (non image) areas of the plate in a totally solid phase. There is no resin, dye, or colorant in the PS coating that will dissolve or disperse in either the fountain solution or the ink. A method and the press embodiments rely on the blanket and a film of press ink between the blanket and the PS coating on the plate, to mechanically dislodge and remove all the nonimage PS coating areas of the plate from the substrate as particles. The blanket then transfers all the removed PS coating particles onto the print media, whereby none of the nonimage PS coating dissolves or disperses in the ink emulsion or fountain water.

Abstract: A method and equipment for producing a lithographic plate including producing an imaged plate having partially reacted image areas including unreacted coating material, and completely unreacted nonimage areas; without preheating the imaged plate, delivering the imaged plate to a developing station containing a single developing tank where rotating brushes with an aqueous wash solution (i) dissolve the top coat, (ii) removing only the unreacted, nonimage areas from the substrate while retaining unreacted material in the image areas and (iii) condition the upper surface of the plate.

Abstract: In a system and process for developing an imaged plate by contacting the plate with an alkaline developer, contained in a developer tank having a cover spaced over the developer level, the space between the developer level and cover is maintained at a concentration of carbon dioxide below ambient for a substantial portion of each day. Preferably, active carbon dioxide control is implemented in the space at least during idle periods, to maintain the concentration of carbon dioxide below about 100 ppm, preferably in the range of 0-10 ppm. The system has a first conduit with an extraction port in the space and a second conduit with a return port in the space. A canister or closed vessel of carbon dioxide scavenger material in the form of pellets or a strong alkaline solution, is fluidly connected between the conduits. An air handling device fluidly connected with the conduits and scavenger material, draws air out of the space, passes the drawn air through the canister or vessel, and delivers the scavenged air back into the space. A special cover having the ports, can be fit over the developer to enhance the sealing of the space from ambient air and thereby improve efficiency.

Abstract: Excellent development of planographic printing plates can be achieved by exposing an imaged, negative working, photopolymerizable coating to a high pressure stream of essentially heated but otherwise untreated tap water, whereby the water completely removes only the less cohesive and adhesive (e.g., partially polymerized) regions to the substrate, thereby directly producing a printing plate having an image pattern of highly cohesive and adhesive, oleophilic regions of the coating and hydrophilic regions of the substrate. The coating removal mechanism appears to be due entirely to ablation. The process variables of spray pressure, spray volumetric flow rate, and water temperature can be traded off to achieve one or more targets for plate quality, energy conservation, production rate, and equipment availability.

Abstract: A process for developing an imaged lithographic printing plate, including the step of delivering developing fluid to the plate at a high volumetric flow rate for a short dwell time such that the non-image is completely solubilized while the image remains unaffected by the developing fluid. At sufficient volumetric flow rate, the developer solution at the target area is constantly displaced during the development time, whereby no boundary layer forms on and travels with the plate during the development time and thus the target area is always in contact with fresh developer solution.

Abstract: A novel coating for lithographic printing plates can be imagewise exposed to radiation and then directly processed with only water to remove the non-exposed regions of the coating. The coating comprises a polymer, a monomer and/or oligomer, polymerization or cross link initiator, stabilizer, and dye or pigment, such that after imaging, the non- imaged resin areas are removable from the planar surface by penetration of water through the non-imaged coating without dissolution of the resin components of the coating, to form a lithographic printing plate with clearly defined image and non-image areas. The stabilizer is a solvent soluble, partially water soluble, non-polymerizable organic component that enables the coating to be removable by water in the non-cross linked areas.

Abstract: The invention relates to the application of a uniform film of a fluid to the surface of a flat workpiece as it is being conveyed through a workstation. The invention is specifically directed to the development of lithographic printing plates and comprises the application of the thin film of developer solution to each plate in a controlled manner using a wire-wound coating device and a unique manner of metering and feeding fresh fluid to the wire-wound device. Specifically, the fluid is gently fed onto the wire-wound device by simple volumetric displacement and overflow from the inside of a hollow tube onto the wire and the flow is controlled by sensing the beginning and end of each workpiece or plate. The hollow tube may be the wire-wound component or it may be a tube mounted above the wire-wound component. The developer is allowed to dwell on the plate as it is conveyed across a support structure for a sufficient time to allow for percolation into and/or dissolution of the soluble areas of the coating.
