The gist of the present invention is a positive photosensitive lithographic printing plate exposed by a laser, wherein at least opposite ends of the photosensitive layer are soluble in an alkaline developer in an unexposed state. It exists in positive photosensitive lithographic printing plates.
Another gist of the present invention is to apply a positive photosensitive composition on a support to form a photosensitive layer, and then heat the photosensitive layer by superimposing a protective material containing 1 to 10% of water. In a method for producing a positive photosensitive lithographic printing plate exposed by a laser having a step of holding underneath, a positive photosensitive lithographic printing plate characterized in that the area of the protective material is smaller than the area of the photosensitive layer. It exists in the manufacturing method of.
Further, another gist of the present invention is the printing plate method of the positive type photosensitive lithographic printing plate, in which both end surfaces of the photosensitive lithographic printing plate facing each other are fixed on the surface of the rotating drum by a pressing jig. It exists in a printing plate method including a laser exposure step and a developing step by a scanning method to be performed.

光吸収材料は、これらの原理及び照射するレーザー光の波長に応じて選択することができ、公知のものが使用できるが、CTP版の露光光源としては、600〜1300nmの近赤外線を用いることが多いので、本発明のポジ型感光性平版印刷版は、特に光吸収剤が600〜1300nmの近赤外線を吸収して熱を発生する光熱変換物質であることが好ましい。斯かる化合物としては、波長域600〜1300nmの近赤外線領域の一部または全部に吸収帯を有する有機また無機の染顔料、有機色素、金属、金属酸化物、金属炭化物、金属ホウ化物などが挙げられる。これらの中では、光吸収色素が特に有効である。光吸収色素は、上記波長域の光を効率よく吸収するが、紫外線領域の光は殆ど吸収しないか、吸収しても実質的に感応せず、従って、白色灯に含まれる様な弱い紫外線によってはポジ型感光性組成物を変成させる作用のない化合物である。 The light absorbing material can be selected according to these principles and the wavelength of the laser light to be irradiated, and known materials can be used. However, as the exposure light source of the CTP plate, near infrared rays of 600 to 1300 nm can be used. Since there are many, the positive photosensitive slab printing plate of the present invention is particularly preferably a photothermal converter in which the light absorber absorbs near infrared rays of 600 to 1300 nm to generate heat. As to such compounds, organic or having an absorption band in a part or all of the near-infrared region in the wavelength range 600~1300nm dye pigments inorganic, organic pigments, metals, metal oxides, metal carbides, metal borides Can be mentioned. Of these, light absorbing dyes are particularly effective. The light-absorbing dye efficiently absorbs the light in the above wavelength range, but hardly absorbs the light in the ultraviolet region, or is substantially insensitive to the absorption, and therefore, due to the weak ultraviolet rays such as those contained in the white lamp. Is a compound that does not have the effect of modifying the positive photosensitive composition.

次に、本発明のポジ型感光性平版印刷版の製造方法について、好ましい実施態様を例にとって説明する。
本発明のポジ型感光性平版印刷版の製造方法としては、少なくとも対向する端部2辺が、未露光の状態でアルカリ現像液に可溶となるように製造することができれば何れの方法を用いることができるが、好ましくは、支持体上にポジ型感光性組成物を塗布して感光層を形成した後、該感光層と、水分を1〜10%含有する保護材とを重ね合わせて加熱下に保持する工程において、感光層の面積よりも保護材の面積が小さいことを特徴とした製造方法が用いられる。
熱の作用よりアルカリ溶解性が変化するようなポジ型感光性組成物においては、露光部と未露光部の溶解性の差を十分に確保することが重要な技術要素となっている。この溶解性の差を発現させる手段の一つとして、本出願人は、レーザーによって露光されるポジ型感光性平版印刷版の製造方法に係わる出願(特願平11−211957号)において、好ましい実施態様として、支持体上に感光層が形成された印刷版を、水分を含有する保護材と重ね合わせて加熱下に保持する製造方法を提案した。

However, preferably, after applying a positive photosensitive composition on the support to form a photosensitive layer, the photosensitive layer and a protective material containing 1 to 10% of water are superposed and heated. In the step of holding underneath, a manufacturing method characterized in that the area of the protective material is smaller than the area of the photosensitive layer is used.
In the positive photosensitive composition as alkali solubility More action of heat changes, the difference in solubility of the exposed and unexposed areas is possible to sufficiently secure is an important technical element. As one of the means for expressing this difference in solubility, the applicant has preferably carried out an application relating to a method for producing a positive photosensitive lithographic printing plate exposed by a laser (Japanese Patent Application No. 11-21957). As an embodiment, a manufacturing method has been proposed in which a printing plate having a photosensitive layer formed on a support is superposed on a protective material containing water and held under heating.
