ON-PRESS DEVELOPMENT TYPE LITHOGRAPHIC PRINTING PLATE PRECURSOR AND METHOD OF PREPARING PRINTING PLATE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18588680 titled 'ON-PRESS DEVELOPMENT TYPE LITHOGRAPHIC PRINTING PLATE PRECURSOR AND METHOD OF PREPARING PRINTING PLATE
The present invention provides an on-press development type lithographic printing plate precursor consisting of a support, an image-recording layer, and a protective layer.
- The image-recording layer contains a polymerizable compound, an infrared absorber, a polymerization initiator, and a color forming substance precursor.
- The protective layer contains an ultraviolet absorber.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in the printing industry to create high-quality lithographic printing plates. - It can streamline the printing process by allowing for on-press development, saving time and resources.
Problems Solved: - Eliminates the need for off-press development of lithographic printing plates. - Enhances the efficiency and convenience of the printing process.
Benefits: - Improved efficiency in the printing industry. - Cost savings due to reduced processing time. - Enhanced quality of printed materials.
Commercial Applications: - Lithographic printing companies can benefit from using this technology to improve their printing processes and reduce costs.
Questions about Lithographic Printing Plate Precursor: 1. How does the inclusion of an infrared absorber benefit the image-recording layer?
- The infrared absorber helps in the exposure and development process of the printing plate precursor by absorbing infrared light and aiding in the formation of the image.
2. What is the significance of the protective layer containing an ultraviolet absorber?
- The ultraviolet absorber in the protective layer helps in protecting the image-recording layer from UV light, ensuring the longevity and quality of the printing plate precursor.
