Definitions
- printing plates From copies of this type, obtained by the electrophotographic process, printing plates have been prepared by treatment with a solvent.
- the coating is removed by the solvent from the support in the image-free areas and, if necessary, the bared parts are rendered water-conductive by suitable means; the image parts are then inked up with greasy ink. Printing plates for the production of prints are thereby obtained.
- This known process has the disadvantage that to a considerable extent the solvent dissolves away the image-bearing parts of the reproduction coating also, so that printing plates with but inadequate properties are obtained.
- lithographic printing plates have been prepared by the application to a support of a coating of a hygroscopic substance which, in turn, is covered by a photoconductor coating.
- the disadvantage is that the hygroscopic coating must be applied first and the photoconductor coating afterwards.
- the hygroscopic coating must be bared in the image-free parts. This coating tends, however, to retain fine particles of the photoconductor coating that is being dissolved away, so that frequently, when printing is performed, prints are obtained which are not free of background, i.e., the prints have traces of ink in these parts.
- the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of printing plates in which the image-free parts of a photoelectrically conductive insulator layer containing inorganic photosemiconductors, on which an image has been produced by electrophotographic methods, are made hydrophilic by treatment with an aqueous solution containing one or more salts of the hexacyano-iron (II)- acid and/or the hexacyano-iron (III)-acid and one or more organic acids of high molecular weight.
- the process of the invention has the advantage over the processes hitherto known that it yields printing images that are completely free of background. Considerably longer runs than those hitherto possible can be obtained, no greasy ink being taken up by the image-free parts in any case.
- the image parts, which are covered with resin powder With this treatment, the image parts, which are covered with resin powder, remain water-repellent and can be inked up with greasy ink.
- the process by which the parts are rendered water-accepting with the solution of the invention is performed very easily and very quickly, so that an electrophotographic copy needs only to be set up in an offset printing machine, wiped over with the solution, and in this way made ready for printmg.
- inorganic compounds which can be used as photosemiconductors in the present process, the following are mentioned by way of example: the photoconductive oxides, sulfides, selenides, tellurides and iodides of zinc, bismuth, molybdenum, lead, antimony and cadmium. Also, mixtures of a number of the photosemiconductors mentioned can be employed; further, mixtures of organic photosemiconductors with the inorganic photosemiconductors mentioned above are suitable.
- oxadiazoles e.g., 2,5-bis-(4- diethylaminophenyl-( 1) )-l,3,4-oxadiazole, 2,5-bis (4' (n-propylamino)-2'-chlorphenyl-(1) )-1,3,4-oxadiazole or 2,5 bis (4 N-ethyl-N-n-propylaminophenyl-(1') )-1,3, 4-oxadiazole; triaz-oles, e.g., 1 methyl 2,5 bis (4-diethylamino-phenyl (1')) 1,3,4-triazole; imidazoles, e.g., 2- (4-dimethylaminophenyl) -6-methoxy-benzimidazole; oxazoles, e.g., 2-(4-chlorphenyl)-phenanthreno-(9,1 O:4,5
- the photosemiconductors can the applied in known manner to a suitable support as a suspension in .a solution containing a natural or synthetic resin, e.g., silicone resin, acrylic resins, ketone resins, balsam resins, phenol resins modified with colophony, cournarone and indene resins, as Well as processed natural substances such as cellulose ethers, polymers such as polyvinyl chlorides, polyvinyl acetates, polyvinyl alcohols, also polystyrene and isobutylene, polycondensates, such as phthalate resins, alkyd resins, maleinate resins, phenol-formaldehyde resins and polyadducts, e.g., polyurethanes.
- a natural or synthetic resin e.g., silicone resin, acrylic resins, ketone resins, balsam resins, phenol resins modified with colophony, cournarone and indene resins, as Well as processed natural substances
- sensitizers are added in small quantities (about 0.001 to 0.5 percent by weight with respect to the quantity of photoconductor employed in the reproduction coating) to the solutions in which the photoconductor is suspended or they are applied by subsequent treatment after the electrocopying material has been prepared.
- dyestuffs the identification number of which is given below under which they are listed in the Schultz Farbstofftabellen (7th edition, 1st vol., 1931), are particularly suitable.
- Examples of effective sensitizers are: triaryl methane dyestuffs such as Brilliant Green (No. 760, p. 314), Victoria Blue B (No. 822, p.
- Rhodamines such as Rhodamine B (No. 864, p. 365), Rhodamine 6G (No. 866, p. 366), Rhodamine G Extra (No. 865, p. 366), Sulphorhodamine B (No. 863, p. 364) and Fast Acid Eosin G (No. 870, p.

- cyanine dyestuffs e.g., cyanine (No. 921, p. 394) and chlorophyll.
- foils made of metals such as aluminum, zinc, copper and brass are preferably employed.
- Other supports used in electrophotography such as paper, or foils made of paper or plastic with vacuum deposited or laminated metal surfaces can also be used.
- the papers may, moreover, be provided with a conductive precoat which is resistant to organic solvents, e.g., like that described in U.S. Patents 2,534,650, 2,681,617 or 2,559,610.
- the photoconductive substances are suspended in a resin solution by a process of homogenization in a colloid mill and then applied to the support in a thickness of 20-40 grams/square meter, preferably 2835 grams/ square meter. This can be done in known manner by spraying, painting, roller application, immersion in the suspension, or application of the suspension to the rotating supporting material.
- the coating is then advantageously dried at an elevated temperature to drive off residual solvent.
- the preparation of the electrocopies is in known manner, i.e., the electrocopying material described above is charged with a charging device, by means of a corona discharge, and then exposed imagewise by the contact process, the light passing through the master.
- the material can also be exposed to an episcopic projection or it can be exposed directly in a camera.
- the latent electrostatic image is then developed in known manner with one of the usual pigmented resin powders, which may in some cases be suspended in a dielectric liquid and the image that becomes visible is fixed, e.g., by heating with an infra-red radiator to about 100-470, preferably 130-160" C., or by treatment with solvents, so that irremovable images are obtained which have good contrast.
- salts of the hexacyano-iron acids are salts which preferably contain as the cationic component alkalis such as sodium and potassium,
- alkaline earths such as calcium and magnesium or other cations can also be used.
- hexacyano-iron (II) acid which is represented by the formula H [Fe(CN)

- a light source eight 500-watt filament lamps are used.
- a suitable master is a line drawn with printing on both sides.
- the electrostatic image of the master thereby formed on the zinc oxide layer is made visible by dusting over with a resin powder pigmented with carbon black and is fixed, by heating to about 160 C., to give an irremovable copy.
- the resin powder used for the development consists of the components known as toner and carrier.
- the carrier glass balls or iron powder are used, as in general practice; these, in conjunction with the toner, produce charging as a result of the triboelectric effect, the toner acquiring the opposite charge to that of the carrier.
- the toner consists of a polystyrene-colophony mixture of low melting point to which carbon black and, advantageously, spirit-soluble nigrosine (Schultz, Farbstofi'tabellen, No.
