Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for obtaining a lithographic printing plate requiring no wet processing by the use of a heat mode recording material and an acceptor material comprising a hydrophilic polymer.
- Lithographic printing is the process of printing from specially prepared surfaces, some areas of which are capable of accepting ink (oleophilic areas) whereas other areas will not accept ink (oleophobic areas).
- the oleophilic areas form the printing areas while the oleophobic areas form the background areas.
- lithographic printing plates Two basic types of lithographic printing plates are known. According to a first type, so called wet printing plates, both water or an aqueous dampening liquid and ink are applied to the plate surface that contains hydrophilic and hydrophobic areas. The hydrophilic areas will be soaked with water or the dampening liquid and are thereby rendered oleophobic while the hydrophobic areas will accept the ink.
- a second type of lithographic printing plates operates without the use of a dampening liquid and are called driographic printing plates. This type of printing plates comprises highly ink repellant areas and oleophilic areas. Generally the highly ink repellant areas are formed by a silicon layer.
- a lithographic printing plate requiring no wet processing having an aluminum substrate with a hydrophilic, porous anodic oxide layer thereon and an oleophilic image deposited by sublimation from a carrier in and on the anodic oxide layer.
- a way of carrying out the sublimation is to place a carrier which is transparent to laser radiation having a laser responsive coating containing a sublimatable oleophilic material thereon face down on the lithographic substrate and depositing the oleophilic image by selected irradiation with a laser.
- lithographic printing plates with an aluminum support are more expensive than lithographic plates with a flexible support and are therefore less favoured, surely for short-run jobs.
- the lithographic printing plate precursor is also transparent, an exposure through the back of the lithographic printing plate precursor is also possible. Still further it is almost a prerequisite that the support of the acceptor element is a flexible support when said acceptor element will be applied to an external drum.
- a lithographic printing plate obtained by image-wise exposing using a laser beam a heat mode recording material comprising on a support a recording composition comprising a hydrophobic polymer, a thermal transferable dye and a substance capable of converting the laser beam radiation into heat while said heat mode recording layer is in contact with the acceptor layer of an acceptor element comprising a flexible support, said acceptor layer comprising a hardened non-proteinic hydrophilic polymer obtained by reacting a non-proteinic hydrophilic polymer containing a hydroxyl group or an amino or amido group having a free hydrogen, with a hardener capable of reacting with said groups has good printing properties i.e. good ink acceptance in the printing areas, no ink acceptance in the non-printing areas and a good compatability with dampening solutions and printing inks commonly used in the art.
- the recording composition of the heat mode recording material comprises a thermal transferable dye .

- the package of the heat mode recording material and the acceptor material are applied on the cylinder of an external drum laser equipment by means of an adhesive tape and/or vacuum suction. At a frequency of rotation of 800 r.p.m. the package is information-wise exposed through the support of the heat mode recording material, whereby the laser beam (ND-YLF 1053 nm, diameter of the spot 14,9 ⁇ m, output 0.4 W) is focused in the recording layer.
- the acceptor material is separated from the respective heat mode recording materials yielding a printing plate.
- This printing plate is conveyed through a heated roll laminator device at 120°C and is then used to print on a conventional offset press (GTO-46) using a commonly employed ink (K+E 123W) and fountain (Combifix 3% in water-isopropanol 90:10 by volume). There were printed 10,000 copies. The quality of the obtained copies, as judged on the 10 th copy is excellent.
