Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an on-press developable lithographic printing plate precursor, a method for producing a lithographic printing plate, and a lithographic printing method.
Background
In general, a lithographic printing plate is composed of an oleophilic image portion that accepts ink during printing and a hydrophilic non-image portion that accepts fountain solution. Lithographic printing is a method of printing by using the property of water and oil-based ink repelling each other, in which a difference in ink adhesion occurs on the surface of a lithographic printing plate by using an oleophilic image portion of the lithographic printing plate as an ink-receiving portion and a hydrophilic non-image portion as a fountain solution-receiving portion (ink-non-receiving portion), and after ink is applied only to the image portion, the ink is transferred onto a printing object such as paper.
In order to produce such a lithographic printing plate, a lithographic printing plate precursor (PS plate) in which an oleophilic photosensitive resin layer (image recording layer) is provided on a hydrophilic support has been widely used. In general, a lithographic printing plate is obtained by exposing an original image such as a high contrast film to light, leaving a portion of the image portion to be an image recording layer, removing the remaining unnecessary image recording layer by dissolving it in an alkaline developer or an organic solvent to expose the surface of a hydrophilic support, and performing plate making by a method of forming a non-image portion.
Further, environmental problems associated with waste liquid accompanying wet processing such as development processing have become apparent because of growing interest in the global environment.
In order to solve the above environmental problems, development and plate making have been simplified and have not been treated. As one of the simple manufacturing methods, a method called "on-press development" is performed. That is, a method is used in which after exposure of a lithographic printing plate precursor, the lithographic printing plate precursor is directly mounted on a printing press without conventional development, and unnecessary portions of an image recording layer are removed at an initial stage of a normal printing process.
In the present invention, a lithographic printing plate precursor that can be used for such on-press development is referred to as an "on-press development type lithographic printing plate precursor".

(lithographic printing original plate of on-press development type)
The on-press development type lithographic printing plate precursor of the present invention comprises a support, an image recording layer and an overcoat layer in this order, wherein the image recording layer comprises a binder polymer having a structural unit composed of an aromatic vinyl compound and a structural unit composed of an acrylonitrile compound, and the on-press development type lithographic printing plate precursor satisfies at least one selected from the group consisting of the following A1 and the following A2.
A1: the above binder polymer has a structural unit containing an ethylenically unsaturated group.
A2: the above-mentioned image recording layer further contains a polymer having a structural unit containing an ethylenically unsaturated group as a second binder polymer different from the above-mentioned binder polymer.
As a result of intensive studies, the present inventors have found that a lithographic printing plate precursor capable of obtaining a lithographic printing plate excellent in chemical resistance can be provided by adopting the above structure.
The detailed mechanism by which the above-described effects can be obtained is not clear, but is presumed as follows.
The lithographic printing plate precursor according to the present invention contains a binder polymer (hereinafter, also referred to as "specific binder polymer") having a structural unit composed of an aromatic vinyl compound and a structural unit composed of an acrylonitrile compound, and satisfies at least one selected from the group consisting of A1 and A2.
Thus, it is considered that the image recording layer after exposure in the image portion obtained after development becomes firm, and chemical resistance is improved.
Further, it is considered that the lithographic printing plate precursor according to the present invention has an overcoat layer, and therefore, the polymerization efficiency of the ethylenically unsaturated group contained in the specific binder polymer or the second binder polymer is improved, the image-recording layer after exposure is more likely to be firmer, and the chemical resistance is improved.
The lithographic printing plate precursor according to the present invention further has improved chemical resistance by a synergistic effect based on the structural unit composed of an aromatic vinyl compound and the structural unit composed of an acrylonitrile compound all contained in the specific binder polymer, the overcoat layer, and the ethylenic unsaturated group contained in the specific binder polymer and/or the second binder polymer, but the mechanism thereof is not clear.
The lithographic printing plate precursor described in patent document 1 does not contain a specific binder polymer, and there is room for further improvement in terms of improvement in chemical resistance.
The lithographic printing plate precursor described in patent document 2 is not an on-press development type lithographic printing plate precursor.
The lithographic printing plate precursor described in patent document 3 has no description nor suggestion of having an overcoat layer, and is inferior in chemical resistance.
Further, it is considered that a lithographic printing plate having excellent printing durability can be easily obtained from the lithographic printing plate precursor according to the present invention. This is presumed to be a result of the improvement of the polymerization efficiency, the synergistic effect, and the like. In a lithographic printing plate, a case where the number of printable plates is large is referred to as "excellent brushing resistance".
Further, it is considered that a lithographic printing plate having excellent ink-receptivity (hereinafter, also simply referred to as "ink-receptivity") can be easily obtained from the lithographic printing plate precursor according to the present invention. This is presumed to be based on the result of the inclusion of the specific binder polymer, the synergistic effect, and the like.
Further, it is considered that a lithographic printing plate precursor excellent in on-press developability can be easily obtained from the lithographic printing plate precursor according to the present invention. This is presumed to be based on the result that, by containing a specific binder polymer, the non-image portion is easily removed by adhering to the ink roller at the time of on-press development (ink tack development), the above-described synergistic effect, and the like.
The lithographic printing plate precursor of the present invention is considered to be excellent in the effects of being excellent in all of the easy brushing resistance, chemical resistance, ink-receptivity, and on-press developability, and the like, by including all of the specific binder polymers and the above-mentioned requirements for the overcoat layer. It is considered that if any one of the above requirements is absent, at least one of these effects is reduced.
In general, in the on-press development type lithographic printing plate, it is considered difficult to achieve a balance between chemical resistance obtained by reducing the solubility of an image portion by a chemical such as the above-mentioned plate cleaning solution or brushing resistance obtained by improving the resistance to an ink as a chemical, ink-adhesion obtained by improving affinity for an ink, or on-press development obtained by excellent affinity between an unexposed portion and an ink.

Also, synthetic smectites are useful.
Among the mica compounds, fluorine-based swellable mica is particularly useful. That is, the swelling synthetic mica has a structure consisting of
The metal atoms in the unit lattice layers having a thickness of about two or more are significantly substituted more than those in other clay minerals. As a result, a shortage of positive charge occurs in the lattice layer, and Li is adsorbed between the layers to compensate for the shortage + 、Na + 、Ca 2+ 、Mg 2+ And the like. These cations interposed between the layers are called exchangeable cations, and can be obtained by exchanging with a plurality of kinds of cations. In particular, the cation between the layers is Li + 、Na + In the case of (2), the bonding between the lamellar lattices is weak because the ionic radius is small, and the swelling is large by water. If a shear force is applied in this state, thenThe layered lattice is easily cleaved to form a stable sol in water. This tendency of the swellable synthetic mica is strong, and thus it is particularly preferably used.

Accordingly, the aspect ratio is preferably 20 or more, more preferably 100 or more, and particularly preferably 200 or more. The aspect ratio is a ratio of the length to the thickness of the particle, and can be measured, for example, by a projection view obtained from a micrograph of the particle.

The average major axis of the particle diameter of the mica compound is preferably 0.3 to 20 μm, more preferably 0.5 to 10 μm, and particularly preferably 1 to 5 μm. The average thickness of the particles is preferably 0.1 μm or less, more preferably 0.05 μm or less, and particularly preferably 0.01 μm or less.

< production of support >
In order to remove the rolling oil on the surface of an aluminum plate (material JIS A1050) having a thickness of 0.3mm, after degreasing treatment at 50 ℃ for 30 seconds using a10 mass% sodium aluminate aqueous solution, 3 bundled nylon bristles having a bundle diameter of 0.3mm and a pumice-water suspension having a median particle diameter of 25 μm were used(specific gravity 1.1 g/cm) 3 ) The surface of the aluminum plate was granulated and thoroughly washed with water. The aluminum plate was immersed in a 25 mass% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide at 45 ℃ for 9 seconds to be etched and washed with water, and then immersed in a 20 mass% aqueous solution of nitric acid at 60 ℃ for 20 seconds to be washed with water. The etching amount of the grained surface was about 3g/m 2 。
Next, electrochemical graining treatment was continuously performed by using an AC voltage of 60 Hz. The electrolyte was a1 mass% aqueous solution of nitric acid (containing 0.5 mass% of aluminum ions), and the liquid temperature was 50 ℃. In the ac power waveform, a trapezoidal rectangular wave ac having a time TP for a current value to reach a peak value from zero of 0.8ms and a duty ratio of 1: 1 was used, and the electrochemical roughening treatment was performed with the carbon electrode as the counter electrode. Ferrite is used as the auxiliary anode. The current density was 30A/dm at the peak of the current 2 And 5% of the current from the power supply is shunted to the auxiliary anode. The electric quantity in the nitric acid electrolysis is 175C/dm when the aluminum plate is taken as an anode 2 . Then, water washing was performed by a nebulizer.
Then, using an aqueous solution (containing 0.5 mass% of aluminum ions) of 0.5 mass% hydrochloric acid and an electrolyte solution having a liquid temperature of 50 ℃ and an electric energy of 50℃/dm when an aluminum plate is used as an anode 2 The electrochemical graining treatment was performed by the same method as in the nitric acid electrolysis, and then, water washing was performed by a sprayer.
Next, a 15 mass% sulfuric acid aqueous solution (containing 0.5 mass% of aluminum ions) having a liquid temperature of 54 ℃ was applied to the aluminum plate as an electrolyte solution at a current density of 15A/dm 2 Form 2.5g/m 2 The coating film was then subjected to direct current anodic oxidation, washed with water, and dried. The average pore diameter (surface average pore diameter) in the surface layer of the anodic oxide film was 10nm.
The pore diameter in the surface layer of the anodic oxide film was measured by observing the surface at a magnification of 15 ten thousand times using a super high resolution SEM (Hitachi, S-900, ltd.) without performing a deposition treatment for imparting conductivity at a relatively low acceleration voltage of 12V, and randomly extracting 50 pores and calculating an average value. The standard error is less than +/-10%.
Then, in order to ensure the hydrophilicity of the non-image portion, the support was prepared by immersing the support in a 2.5 mass% aqueous solution of sodium silicate No.3 at 50 ℃ for 7 seconds to perform silicate treatment and then washing the support with water using a sprayer. The amount of Si deposited was 11mg/m 2 。

In the protective layer column in tables 1 to 3, "none" is described when the protective layer is not formed, and "dry coating amount (g/m) is described when the protective layer is formed 2 )”。
< evaluation of lithographic printing plate precursor >
The lithographic printing plate precursor thus prepared was exposed to light using Magnus800 Quantum manufactured by Kodak corporation equipped with an infrared semiconductor laser under conditions of an output of 27W, an outer drum rotation speed of 450rpm, and a resolution of 2,400dpi (dot per inch, 1 inch being 2.54 cm) (110 mJ/cm depending on the irradiation energy) 2 ). The exposure image is set to a graph including a solid image and an Amplitude Modulation Screen (Amplitude Modulation Screen) 3% halftone dot.
(1) On-press developability
The obtained exposed master was mounted on a cylinder of a plate-size Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG printer SX-74 without being subjected to a development treatment. In this printing press, a 100L fountain solution circulation tank having a built-in nonwoven fabric filter and a temperature control device was connected. A fountain solution 80L of 2.0% of a fountain solution S-Z1 (manufactured by Fujifilm Corporation) was charged into a circulation device, and 500 sheets of Paper were printed on Tokubishi Art (Mitsubishi Oji Paper salts Co., manufactured by Ltd., continuous amount: 76.5 kg) at a printing speed of 10,000 sheets per hour after the fountain solution and the ink were supplied by a standard automatic printing start method using a T & K UV OFS K-HS ink GE-M (manufactured by T & K TOKA Corporation) as a printing ink.
In the on-press development, the number of sheets of printing paper required until the ink is not transferred to the non-image portion is measured as the on-press developability. The measurement results are shown in tables 1 to 3. In tables 1 to 3, the expression "100 sheets or more" indicates that the development cannot be performed when 100 sheets of printing paper are used.
(2) Resistance to brushing
After the evaluation of the on-press developability was performed, printing was continued. As the number of printed sheets increases, the image portion is gradually worn away, and thus the ink concentration on the printed matter decreases. The number of printed copies was determined by measuring the dot area ratio of amplitude modulated 3% dots in the printed matter using a GRETAG densitometer (manufactured by GretagMacbeth corporation) to be 1% lower than the measured value of the 500 th printed sheet, and the printing durability was evaluated. The relative brushing resistance was evaluated by setting the number of printed sheets to 5 ten thousand as 100. The larger the value, the better the brushing resistance. The evaluation results are shown in tables 1 to 3. In tables 1 to 3, the expression "evaluation impossible" indicates that the on-press development of the lithographic printing plate precursor could not be performed and the evaluation of the brushing resistance could not be performed.
Relative printing durability = (number of prints of original plate for subject lithographic printing plate)/50,000 × 100
(3) Inking Property (initial ink inking for printing)
The lithographic printing plate exposed under the same exposure conditions as those in the evaluation of on-press developability described above (set to a chart containing a solid image and 50% dots of 20 μm dot frequency-modulated screening in the exposed image) was mounted on a plate cylinder of a printer LITHRONE26 manufactured by KOMORI Corporation. The fountain solution and ink were supplied and printing was started by the standard automatic printing start method of LITHRONE26 using the fountain solution of ecoity-2 (manufactured by Fujifilm Corporation)/tap water =2/98 (volume ratio) and the Values-G (N) ink (manufactured by DIC Corporation), and 100 sheets were printed on Tokubishi Art (Mitsubishi Oji Paper Sales co., manufactured by ltd. Continuous volume: 76.5 kg) Paper at a printing speed of 10,000 sheets per hour.
The ink density in the solid image portion was measured using a MACBETH densitometer (ex dark, manufactured by X-Rite corporation), and the number of sheets of printing paper required until the ink density became 1.0 or more was measured as an index of ink-receptivity (initial ink-receptivity in printing). It can be said that the smaller the number of sheets, the more excellent the ink adhesion of the lithographic printing plate.
A: less than 20 pieces
B:20 or more and less than 30
C: more than 30 and less than 50
D:50 or more and less than 100
E: more than 100 sheets
(4) Chemical resistance
The lithographic printing plate precursors of the examples were exposed and printed in the same manner as the evaluation of the brushing resistance described above. At this time, a process of wiping the surface of the plate with a cleaner (multifunctional cleaner, manufactured by Fujifilm Corporation) was added every 5,000 sheets of paper to be printed, and chemical resistance was evaluated.
The brush resistance at this time is set to the number of the brush-resistant sheets
A represents more than 95% and 100% or less of the original lithographic printing plate,
the lithographic printing plate precursor of more than 80% and 95% or less is referred to as B,
the lithographic printing plate precursor exceeding 60% and 80% or less is referred to as C,
d represents a lithographic printing plate precursor of more than 40% and 60% or less,
e represents 40% or less.
It was evaluated that the chemical resistance was more excellent as the change in the brush index was smaller even when a step of wiping the surface of the plate with a detergent was added.
The details of each component described in tables 1 to 3 are described below.
