Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for the preparation of a lithographic printing plate by means of ink jet printing.
  • the image to be printed is present on a plate as a pattern of ink accepting (oleophilic) areas on an ink repellent (oleophobic or hydrophilic) background.
  • the required ink repellency is provided by an initial application of a dampening (or "fountain) solution prior to inking.
  • Conventional presensitized lithographic printing plates bear a UV sensitive coating based on photopolymer or diazonium chemistry.
  • the plates have to be UV-exposed through a mask carrying the image.
  • the mask is a graphic arts film prepared by photographic techniques based on silver halide chemistry and involving exposure by a camera or by an image-setter, and further involving wet processing.
  • the SETPRTINTTM material from Agfa-Gevaert N.V. is based on silver halide DTR chemistry and consists of a polyethylene terephthalate base carrying a photographic coating which after photo-mode exposure and processing produces complementary oleophilic and hydrophilic areas.
  • Another system based on photo-mode exposure but with a hydrophilic aluminum base is LITHOSTARTM from Agfa-Gevaert N.V.
  • a system based on heat mode exposure by means of an intense infra-red laser is called THERMOSTARTM from Agfa-Gevaert N.V.
  • ink jet printers have replaced laser printers as the most popular hard copy output printers for computers. Some of the competitive advantages of ink jet printers are low cost and reliability.
  • the ink jet printing system is a relatively rapid image output system and has a simple construction because it does not require any complex optical system.
  • an oleophilic liquid or fluid ink was printed by ink jet printing onto a hydrophilic aluminum surface of a lithographic printing plate. Titanate or silane coupling agents were present in the ink.
  • ink jet printing wherein the ink is a solid or phase change type ink instead of a liquid or fluid type ink is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,833,486 to deposit a hot wax on a surface of an offset plate. Upon cooling of the wax, it solidifies, thereby providing a printing plate.
  • Solid ink jet printing has serious disadvantages for lithographic plates in that the wax or resin image has limited durability due to its thermoplastic, chemical, and adhesive properties and the amount and rounded shape of the solidified ink jet droplet on the media do not have the intrinsic image resolution properties found in liquid ink jet printing.
  • Japanese Kokai Publication 113456/1981 proposes methods for preparing printing plates whereby ink-repelling materials (e.g. curable silicones) are printed on a printing plate by ink jet printing.
  • the printing plate obtained by this method is an intaglio printing plate in which the ink-repelling material formed on the surface of the substrate serves as a non-image part.
  • the resolution of the printed images at shadow area or reversed lines is not so good.
  • a large amount of ink is needed in this method because the ink-repelling material must be deposited on the whole non-image part which occupies most of the surface of the printing plate, thereby delaying the printing process.
  • US 5,511,477 discloses a method for the production of photopolymeric relief-type printing plates comprising: forming a positive or a negative image on a substrate by ink jet printing with a photopolymeric ink composition, optionally preheated to a temperature of 30-260°C, and subjecting the resulting printed substrate to UV radiation, thereby curing said ink composition forming said image. This is an obnoxious method due to the sometimes high vapour pressure and toxicity of said inks.
  • US 5,312,654 discloses a method for making lithographic printing plates comprising: forming an image on a substrate having an ink absorbing layer and a hydrophilized layer between the substrate and the absorbing layer by ink jet printing using a photopolymerizable ink composition, and exposing it to an actinic light in the wavelength region with which said ink composition is sensitized to cure the image.
  • the printing endurance of said printing plates is low.
  • Japanese Kokai Publication 69244/1992 discloses a method for making printing plates comprising the steps of forming a printed image on a recording material subjected to a hydrophilic treatment by ink jet printing using a hydrophobic ink containing photocurable components, and exposing the whole surface to actinic light.
  • the surface of the substrate to be used for the lithographic plate is usually subjected to various treatments such as a mechanical graining, an anodizing or a hydrophilic treatment to obtain good hydrophilic property and water retention property. Therefore, even the use of an ink composition having a very high surface tension results in a poor image on the surface of the substrate because of ink spreading and low printing endurance.
  • EP-A 533 168 discloses a method for avoiding said ink spreading by coating the lithographic base with an ink absorbing layer which is removed after ink printing. This is an uneconomical and cumbersome method.
  • Research Disclosure 289118 of May 1988 discloses a method for making printing plates with the use of an ink jet wherein the ink is a hydrophobic polymer latex.
  • said printing plates have a bad ink acceptance and a low printing endurance.
  • EP-A 003 789 discloses a process for the preparation of offset printing plates by means of an ink jet method with oleophilic inks. There is not indicated how said inks are made but from the examples it is clear that it concerns artificial latices, which are difficult to prepare.
  • JN 57/038142 discloses a method of preparing a printing plate by forming an ink image on a blank printing plate, and also by fixing this image thermally by making toner to adhere to this image-formed area.
  • the composition of the ink is not mentioned, only the composition of the toners is disclosed.
  • JN 07/108667 discloses a plate-making method forming an ink image containing a hydrophilic substance on a conductive support whose surface layer is made hydrophilic according to an electrostatic attraction type ink set system to dry or cure the same, by applying bias voltage to the conductive support at the time of ink jet writing. This is a cumbersome process.
  • US 5,213,041 discloses a method for preparing a reusable printing plate for printing, projecting an imaging deposit on the plate surface by jet printing using an ejectable substance containing a heat fusible component.
  • the image forms an imaging deposit which is fused to the surface of the printing plate using a variable frequency and variable power induction heater.
  • US 6,136,889 discloses a method for preparing a printing plate by an ink jet process comprising: discharging dropwise an oily liquid using an electrostatic field on an image receiving layer of a lithographic printing plate precursor from a head having a discharge electrode to form an image on the image receiving layer; and then desensitizing a non-image area of the image receiving layer by a chemical reaction to prepare a lithographic printing plate, wherein the lithographic printing plate precursor comprises a water-resistant support having provided thereon the image receiving layer, wherein the image receiving layer contains zinc oxide and a binder resin, wherein the surface of the image receiving layer has a contact angle of 50° or more, and wherein the oily liquid comprises resin particles dispersed in a nonaqueous carrier liquid having an electric resistance of 10 9 ⁇ -cm or more and a dielectric constant of 3.5 or less, wherein said resin particles dispersed are polymer particles obtained by polymerization granulation of a solution comprising (i), (ii) and (iii
  • US 6,098,545 discloses a method for preparing a printing plate by an ink jet process comprising dropwise supplying an oil-based ink on an image-receiving layer of a lithographic printing plate precursor comprising a water-resistant support and the image-receiving layer provided thereon which contains zinc oxide and a binder resin and whose surface has a contact angle of 30° or more to form an image and subjecting the non-image area of the image-receiving layer to oil-desensitization upon a chemical reaction treatment to prepare a lithographic printing plate, wherein the oil-based ink comprises resin particles dispersed in a nonaqueous carrier liquid having an electric resistance of 10 9 ⁇ -cm or more and a dielectric constant of 3.5 or less, and the resin particles dispersed are copolymer resin particles obtained by polymerization granulation of a solution comprising (i), (ii) and (iii): (i) at least one monofunctional monomer (A) which is soluble in a
