ON-PRESS DEVELOPMENT TYPE LITHOGRAPHIC PRINTING PLATE PRECURSOR, METHOD OF PREPARING LITHOGRAPHIC PRINTING PLATE, AND LITHOGRAPHIC PRINTING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18359391 titled 'ON-PRESS DEVELOPMENT TYPE LITHOGRAPHIC PRINTING PLATE PRECURSOR, METHOD OF PREPARING LITHOGRAPHIC PRINTING PLATE, AND LITHOGRAPHIC PRINTING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an on-press development type planographic printing plate precursor, which includes a support, an image-recording layer, and an overcoat layer. The overcoat layer contains either zero or a small amount of inorganic compound, while the image-recording layer contains an infrared absorber, a polymerization initiator, a polymerizable compound, and an oil agent.

  • The planographic printing plate precursor has a specific layer structure, allowing for on-press development.
  • The overcoat layer has a low content of inorganic compound, which can improve the performance of the printing plate.
  • The image-recording layer contains various components that contribute to the printing process, such as an infrared absorber, a polymerization initiator, a polymerizable compound, and an oil agent.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in the printing industry for producing planographic printing plates.
  • It can be applied in various printing processes, such as offset printing, to create high-quality prints.

Problems Solved

  • The on-press development type planographic printing plate precursor simplifies the printing plate preparation process by allowing development on the press itself.
  • The low content of inorganic compound in the overcoat layer improves the performance and durability of the printing plate.

Benefits

  • The on-press development capability saves time and resources in the printing plate production process.
  • The improved performance and durability of the printing plate result in better print quality and longer plate life.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided are: an on-press development type planographic printing plate precursor having a support, an image-recording layer, and an overcoat layer in this order, in which a content of an inorganic compound in the overcoat layer is zero or is more than 0% by mass or less than 1% by mass with respect to a total mass of the overcoat layer, and the image-recording layer contains an infrared absorber, a polymerization initiator, a polymerizable compound, and an oil agent; and a method of preparing a planographic printing plate and a planographic printing method in which the on-press development type planographic printing plate precursor is used.
