なる。 The PS plate on which the original has been printed is transported to a developing tank, where it is supplied with a developing solution (hereinafter simply referred to as "processing solution"), and is rubbed with a brush, sponge, etc., and subjected to development processing. The original manuscript was burned.
The non-image area on the PS plate becomes a swollen film due to the processing solution containing an organic solvent or alkaline aqueous solution in the development process. The non-image area that has become a swollen film is easily removed by rubbing means such as a brush or sponge, leaving only the image area. Therefore, the processing solution contains PS.
Extractable materials such as photosensitive substances from the plate will be mixed in. In addition, since the processing liquid is normally applied to the PS plate passing through a developing tank using a shower method, deterioration due to air may occur, such as carbon dioxide dissolving.
A decrease in PH occurs. Therefore, when the developing ability of the processing liquid decreases due to the amount of processing of the PS plate and the passage of time and reaches its limit, it is replaced with a new processing liquid. If the PS plate is processed beyond its processing capacity, the photoresist film in the non-image areas will remain on the surface of the PS plate, which will cause stains during printing and cause instability in printing performance such as tone reproduction.

題は解決できるが不経済である。 The processing of PS plates used to generally consist of a developing process, a water washing process, a gumming process, and a drying process, but recently, water-free washing has been adopted, which eliminates the water washing process and moves immediately from the development process to the gumming process. Progress is being made in the direction of eliminating wastewater pollution. When performing the above-mentioned waterless washing process, even when processing with a processing liquid close to the limit within the range of the above-mentioned processing capacity, background stains and poor inking may occur on the plate, and photosensitive materials may be removed. The dissolved and fatigued processing solution adheres to the PS plate and mixes with the gum liquid, causing background stains and poor inking on the plate. In the waterless washing process, it is important to devise a pair of rollers at the exit of the developing process to squeeze as much of the processing liquid that adheres to the PS plate as possible so that it does not enter the gumming process; is not possible. This problem can be solved by replacing the processing solution when the amount of eluted photosensitive material is still small, but this is uneconomical.

In addition to reusing the processing solution in the developer tank, the processing solution in the first developer tank is
The PS plate exceeds the processing capacity limit required when developing PS plates using the normal one-bath method.
When the PS plate is processed to a point close to the processing capacity of the processing liquid through the first developing tank and the second developing tank, the processing liquid in the first developing tank is discharged. The method is characterized in that the processing liquid in the second developer tank is transferred to the first developer tank, and new processing liquid is supplied to the second developer tank.

利点が生ずる。 As mentioned above, the development process for PS plates is to swell the non-image areas that are not photocured with a treatment solution containing an organic solvent or alkaline aqueous solution and remove them with a rubbing means such as a brush or sponge. The swollen membrane easily dissolves into the processing solution. Therefore,
When the developing tank is divided into a first developing tank and a second developing tank, and the PS plate is sequentially passed through these first and second developing tanks, most of the swelling film removed from the PS plate is removed. The film melts into the first developer tank, and into the second developer tank, it melts into the swollen film that remained without being completely removed during the development process in the first developer tank. The processing solution that comes out through the PS plate and adheres to it contains only a small amount of eluted materials such as photosensitive substances. and,
Even if the processing solution in the first developer tank is considerably fatigued, for example, in a conventional one-bath development processing system, the PS plate has been processed beyond the processing capacity limit, came out through the developing tank
The amount of eluted substances such as photosensitive substances contained in the processing solution that adheres to the PS plate is determined by the amount of eluates such as photosensitive substances that come out of the developing tank when processed using a processing solution within the processing capacity limit in the conventional development processing method described above. This amount is smaller than the amount of eluates such as photosensitive substances contained in the processing solution that adheres to the PS plate. Furthermore, if the processing time in the first developer tank is made longer than the processing time in the second developer tank, the PS plate can be processed even when the processing solution in the first developer tank is in a more exhausted state. The advantage arises.

選ぶことにより処理液を最も経済的に用いること
ができる。 When the amount of PS plates processed through the first developer tank and the second developer tank reaches near the capacity limit, the processing solution in the first developer tank is drained and the processing solution in the second developer tank is transferred to the second developer tank. The processing solution can be used economically by transferring it to the first developing tank and setting a new processing solution in the second developing tank. Also, depending on the amount of PS plate processed, the second developer tank is replenished with new processing solution, a part of the second developer tank is transferred to the first developer tank, and a part of the first developer tank is discharged. By doing so, the processing solution in the second developer tank can be continuously reused in the first developer tank.
PS version can be processed. In this case, the replenishment amount can be selected in consideration of the capacity limit of the processing liquid in the first developing tank, including the decrease in capacity of the processing liquid over time, so that the processing liquid can be used most economically.
