Definitions
- This invention relates to an electrophotographic lithographic printing plate precursor and, more particularly to a lithographic printing plate precursor having a photoconductive layer on which a surface layer having specific properties is provided.
- a number of offset printing plate precursors for directly producing printing plates have hitherto been proposed, and some of them have already been put into practical use. Widely employed among them is a system in which a photoreceptor, comprising a conductive support having provided thereon a photoconductive layer mainly comprising photoconductive particles (e.g., zinc oxide) and a resin binder, is subjected to an ordinary electrophotographic processing to form a highly lipophilic toner image thereon. The surface of the photoreceptor is then treated with an oil-desensitizing solution called etching solution to selectively render non-image areas hydrophilic to obtain an offset printing plate.
- etching solution oil-desensitizing solution
- Requirements of offset printing plate precursors for obtaining satisfactory prints are such that an original should be reproduced faithfully on the photoreceptor; the surface of a photoreceptor should have affinity with an oil-desensitizing solution, so as to render non-image areas sufficiently hydrophilic and, at the same time, should have water resistance; and that a photoconductive layer having an image formed thereon is not released during printing and is well receptive to dampening water, so that the non-image areas hold the hydrophilic properties enough to be freed from stains even on printing a large number of prints.
- a photoconductive layer comprising particles of an organic photoconductive compound and a binder resin can be formed on a grained aluminum base.
- Printing plate precursors of this type can be produced by forming a toner image on a photo sensitive layer through the known electrophotographic processing such as described above and further removing the non-image areas by eluting with a processing solution, whereby the aluminum base corresponding to the non-image areas is exposed to form hydrophilic areas.
- the photosensitive layer using the organic photoconductive compound comprises, for example, an oxadiazole compound or oxazole compound and an alkali-soluble binder resin (e.g., a styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer, etc.), as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication Nos. 17162/62 and 39405/71 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication Nos. 2437/77 and 107246/81; or a phthalocyanine pigment or azo pigment and an alkali-soluble phenolic resin as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication Nos. 105254/80, 16125/70, 150953/83, and 162961/83.
- an alkali-soluble binder resin e.g., a styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer, etc.
- the surface layer becomes water-soluble upon ring-opening, the surface layer is seriously inferior in water resistance even though the vinyl ether-maleic anhydride copolymer is combined with a compatible hydrophobic resin. Therefore, the printing durability of the resulting printing plate was about 500 to 600 prints at most.
- a surface layer capable of being rendered hydrophilic which comprises silylated polyvinyl alcohol as main component and a crosslinking agent as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication Nos. 90343/85, 159756/85, and 217292/86.
- the surface layer can be rendered hydrophilic by hydrolysis of the silylated polyvinyl alcohol on the non-image areas.
- the degree of silylation of polyvinyl alcohol is controlled, and the remaining hydroxyl group is crosslinked by the crosslinking agent.
- hydrophilic polymer due to the limitations on the chemical structure of the hydrophilic polymer, it is difficult to exclude all adverse influences of the surface layer upon the functions of an electrophotographic photoreceptor, such as charging properties, quality of a reproduced image (e.g., dot reproducibility and resolving power of image areas, resistance to background fog of nonimage areas, etc.), and light sensitivity.
- the former are those having functional groups capable of forming hydroxyl groups through decomposition as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Nos. 8217/1988 and 90185/1988, those having functional groups capable of forming carboxyl groups through decomposition as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Nos. 112607/1988 and 113458/1988 and those having functional groups capable of forming thiol groups, amino groups, phosphono groups or sulfo groups through decomposition as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Nos. 134357/1988 and 135705/1988.
- These resins are those which form hydrophilic groups through hydrolysis or hydrogenolysis with an oil-desensitizing solution or dampening water used during printing.
- a number of prints with clear image quality and without background stains can be obtained, since the hydrophilic property of non-image areas is further increased by the above described hydrophilic groups formed through decomposition to make clear the lipophilic property of image areas and the hydrophilic property of non-image areas and to prevent the non-image areas from adhesion of a printing ink during printing, and a crosslinking structure is formed in the surface layer so that the resin rendered hydrophilic becomes water-insoluble, keeps water and swells through the crosslinking effect to give retention of water and to maintain the surface layer sufficiently hydrophilic.
- the carboxyl group or hydroxyl group previously masked with a protective group is subjected to decomposition reaction with a processing solution to release the protective group.
- the resin of this type therefore, it is required, as important properties, that during storage, the resin is stably present without being hydrolyzed due to the humidity (moisture) in the air and during processing for rendering hydrophilic, the protective group removing reaction rapidly proceeds to form a hydrophilic group and the hydrophilic property of non-image areas can be improved.
- hydrophilic group-forming functional group which is stably present without decomposition even under severer conditions, e.g., during storage at a high temperature and high humidity for a long time, results in difficulty in a rapid decomposition with a processing solution and rapid feasibility of hydrophilic property.

- the quantity of the crosslinking agent used in the present invention is generally 0.5 to 30% by weight, preferably 1 to 10% by weight based on the resin used in the surface layer.
- the crosslinking reaction is carried out by a reaction system for forming chemical bonds among functional groups
- organic acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, benzenesulfonic acid and p-toluenesulfonic acid are used as the promoter
- polymerization initiators such as peroxides and azobis compounds, the latter being preferable

- these resins are described in Takaharu Kurita and Jiro Ishiwataru "High Molecular Materials (Kobunshi)" 17 , 278 (1968) and Harumi Miyamoto and Hidehiko Takei "Imaging” No. 8, page 9 (1973).
- the resin of the present invention and the known resin can be mixed in optional proportions, but it is preferable to adjust the mixing proportion so that the content of the hydrophilic group-forming functional group-containing resin be 20 to 99% by weight, preferably 40 to 95% by weight based on the whole resin, since if less than 20% by weight, the resulting lithographic printing plate precursor meets with a problem that the hydrophilic property obtained by the oil-desensitization treatment with an oil-desensitizing solution or dampening water to result in background stains during printing, while if more than 99% by weight, the image-forming property during reproducing is not good and the film strength of the photoconductive layer during printing is lowered, resulting in deterioration of the durability.
- the surface layer resin of the present invention is subjected to crosslinking after coating a surface layer forming composition.
- the crosslinking is preferably carried out, for example, by maintaining the drying conditions at a high temperature and/or for a long period of time, or by further subjecting to a heat treatment after drying the coating solvent, for example, at 60 to 120°C for 5 to 120 minutes.
- the crosslinking is carried out after coating by irradiating electron ray, X-rays, ultraviolet rays or plasma during, before or after drying and the reaction can further be promoted by the above described heating treatment during or after drying. Joint use of the above described reaction promoter results in that this treatment can be carried out under milder conditions.
- Resin A of the surface layer of the present invention has such an action that hydrophilic groups appear by an oil-desensitizing treatment to render non-image areas more hydrophilic.
- the surface layer resin having a crosslinked structure at least in a part of the polymer is capable of preventing the hydrophilic group-containing resin formed by an oil-desensitization processing from being water-soluble and dissolved out of the non-image area, while maintaining the hydrophilic property.
- the hydrophilic property of a non-image area can further be enhanced by hydrophilic groups formed in the resin, such as sulfo, phosphono, carboxyl and hydroxyl groups, and the durability is improved. Even if printing conditions become severer, for example, a printing machine is large-sized or printing pressure is fluctuated, a large number of prints with a clear image quality and free from backgroun stains can be obtained.
- ferrocyanide compounds are used as a predominant agent in an oil-desensitizing solution for oil-desensitizing zinc oxide, which compounds need a special control of handling from the standpoint of preventing the environmental pollution, and the kinds of available color inks are limited or it is difficult to use a neutral paper as a printing paper, because an oil-desensitizing agent is ordinarily added to the dampening water during printing so as to make up for the oil-desensitized hydrophilic material physically adhered to the surface layer of a printing plate precursor and consumed after printing a number of prints.
- inorganic compounds and organic compounds can be used as the photoconductive compound.
- the inorganic photoconductive compound examples include zinc oxide, titanium oxide, zinc sulfide, cadmium sulfide, selenium, selenium alloys such as selenium-tellurium, lead sulfide and the like, well known in the art.

- These pigments can be used either alone or in combination of two or more thereof.
- the mixing ratio of the organic photoconductive compound and binder resin i.e. the upper limit of the content of the organic photoconductive compound is determined by the compatibility of the organic photoconductive compound and binder resin and addition of the organic photoconductive compound in an amount exceeding the upper limit results in crystallization thereof, which should be avoided. Since the electrophotographic sensitivity is lowered with the decrease of the content of the organic photoconductive compound, it is preferivelyable to incorporate the organic photoconductive compound as much as possible in such a range that crystallization of the organic photoconductive compound does not take place.
