Definitions
- the present invention relates to new offset plates, the hydrophylic surface of which has been made "matt thanks to a thin layer of chromium.
- offset reproduction methods use plates having a surface of hydrophilic nature. This same surface must advantageously be matt, this mattness being advantageous on the one hand, to facilitate the control work at the time of printing and on the other hand, to facilitate the attachment, on a surface, of a photosensitive layer .
- This mattness can be obtained by treating the support of the plate or the surface in a material of hydrophilic nature by methods which call for an attack on said surface, either mechanically, chemically or electrochemically.
- chromium has been widely described for producing the hydrophilic surface of an offset plate.
- the chrome layers employed have notable advantages with regard to their hardness, their hydrophilicity and possibly their appearance. Indeed, these chromium layers can have a mat surface.
- electrochemically obtain a chromium layer with a mat surface two methods are known, one consisting in using an electrolytic bath at low temperature (5 to 8 ° C. for example) and the other consisting in using an electrolytic bath at lower temperature normal (25 to 35 ° C) but by interrupting the electric current while the said deposition is carried out. But in all known cases the chromium layer (with a shiny or mat surface) which must play the role of aquaphile layer of the offset plates must have a notable thickness (clearly greater than 1 micrometer and generally from 1.5 to 2.8 micrometers ).
- GB-A-1 172 517 describes a plate whose substrate is made of copper or brass; this substrate being covered with a spongy layer of chromium, itself covered with an ink-absorbing photosensitive layer.
- the specialist knows that the deposited chromium layer is necessarily of a thickness greater than 1.5 micrometers (thickness explained in said patent).
- hydrophilic chromium layers less than 1 micrometer thick could possibly be deposited on supports.
- specialists are well aware that the very thin layers recommended cannot play their role of hard aquaphilic layers because they are scratched too easily and are often porous, thus revealing an underlying surface with properties which are unacceptable in offset reproduction. .
- This is what is described in particular in BE-A-779 229 where, in addition, the chromium oxide chromium layer used as an aquaphile surface is of a shiny nature therefore does not allow sufficient adhesion of a photosensitive layer .
- the invention therefore relates to offset plates with a hydrophilic metallic surface and an encrophilic surface obtained from a photosensitive printing layer, comprising a steel support having a glossy and smooth hydrophilic surface, characterized in that said glossy hydrophilic surface is at least partially covered. a layer of matt and porous chromium having a thickness of less than 1 micrometer.
- the invention consists in depositing on a surface having hydrophilic properties which can be used in the sense of offset, a very thin layer of matt chromium, the relative porosity and fragility of which will be accepted precisely because the underlying surface is hydrophilic and encrophobic , but which will be used to make the surface of the final material "matt".
- hydrophilic surfaces which can be made matt using the invention are all the surfaces which, to date, have been considered as hydrophilic surfaces usable in offset plates.
- chromium With a thin layer of chromium, it is possible to matte shiny or semi-shiny surfaces of hard materials such as stainless steel, tin-nickel, chromium itself, chrome surfaces. -chromium oxide (which is coated with steel for certain cans), nickel-phosphorus, tin alloys and nickel alloys.
- a matte appearance plate is obtained.
- the plate is covered with a layer (approximately 1.8 micrometer thickness) of photosensitive commercial printer (PCAS). After drying (3 min at 45 ° C and 5 min at 85 ° C) the plate is ready.
- PCAS photosensitive commercial printer
- the plate is then used as known in offset processes: insolation, rearing of soluble parts, exfoliation, etc.
- the plate is thus covered with a smooth, hard and shiny layer of chromium which will provide it with good protection during handling.
- This plate is then immersed in an electrolytic chromium bath with a composition identical to that of the bath described above, but it is operated at a temperature of 28 ° C. and is deposited, under 30 A by square decimetre, on only one of the faces of the plate, a matt chrome thickness of 0.4 micrometer.
- a plate is thus obtained protected on all its faces by a layer of smooth chrome and which comprises, on one of its faces, a surface of matt chrome usable in offset.
- a photosensitive printer layer is then deposited on the mat surface and a ready-made offset plate is obtained.
- a chromed steel plate sold by the company SOLLAC is used as a starting plate.
- the plate After degreasing hot (65 ° C) in a sodium carbonate bath (100 g / 1), the plate being cathode, the plate is introduced into a chromium bath in order to achieve, on one of its faces, the deposit of a thin layer (0.3 micrometer of matt chromium).
