Definitions

  • a method of forming a lithographic plate by the heat-mode imaging method which comprises coating on a base which can be used as a lithographic base a positive working photosensitive composition which comprises a naphthoquinone diazide ester of a phenolic resin or a naphthoquinone diazide ester and a phenolic resin and at least one substance which absorbs infra-red radiation, overall exposing the assembly to ultra-violet light to render the photosensitive composition developable, imaging the plate by means of a laser which emits in the infra-red region of the spectrum and then developing the plate to remove those areas of the photosensitive composition not exposed to the laser.
  • This invention is based on the knowledge that when light-exposed naphthoquinone diazide compound is heated it is no longer developable.
  • the naphthoquinone diazide compound is image-wise heated to render such areas non-developable by the action of the laser which emits in the infra-red region of the spectrum and the presence of the infra-red absorbing substance or substances which convert the infra-red laser light to heat.
  • the areas of the initially light sensitive naphthoquinone diazide compound which remain on the plate are oleophilic and form the printing image whilst the areas of the plate from which the photosensitive composition has been removed from the hydrophilic areas of the plate.
  • the binder for the photosensitive composition is the phenolic resin. This may be present covalently bonded to the naphthoquinone moiety or it may be present not bonded to the moiety.
