摘要:
A liquid etchant and a method for roughening a copper surface each capable of providing copper with a roughened surface increased in acid resistance regardless of a chlorine ion in a short period of time, to thereby ensure firm adhesion between a copper conductive pattern and an outer layer material during manufacturing of a printed circuit board, resulting in the manufacturing being highly simplified. The liquid etchant includes a main component containing an oxo acid such as sulfuric acid and a peroxide such as hydrogen peroxide. Also, the liquid etchant includes an auxiliary component containing a tetrazole such as 5-aminotetrazole or the like, or a 1,2,3-azole. The liquid etchant permits a copper surface to be roughened in an acicular manner.

The invention relates to a method for producing organically developable, photopolymerizable flexographic printing elements on flexible metallic supports by: coating a flexible metallic support with a tack-free adhesive lacquer, which is resistant to swelling and which is insoluble in printing inks and in organic developers; applying an elastomeric photopolymerizable layer to a covering film, and; laminating the photopolymerizable layer onto the metallic support coated with the adhesive lacquer. The invention also relates to a photopolymerizable flexographic printing element comprised of a photopolymerizable layer that is applied to a flexible metallic support by means of a tack-free adhesive layer, which is resistant to swelling and which is insoluble in printing inks and in organic developers.
摘要:
Lithographic printing form precursors comprising positive working polymeric coatings on substrates may during storage or transportation undergo undesirable changes in their imaging properties. It has been found that acceptable properties can be restored by carrying out a heat treatment which involves a relatively short heating stage followed by accelerated cooling.

The present invention relates to a photopolymerizable presensitized plate used for preparing a lithographic printing plate comprising an aluminum substrate provided thereon with at least a photopolymerizable light-sensitive layer, the lithographic printing plate is characterized in that the edges of the opposed two sides or four sides are curved from the light-sensitive layer towards the back face, wherein a drop observed in the curved portion at the section has a height ranging from 30 to 200 nullm and wherein the area of notched portion on the curved portion ranges from 200 to 100,000 nullm2. The lithographic printing plate prepared from the presensitized plate permits the solution of the problem such that the surface area of paper corresponding to the edges of the printing plate is stained and the achievement of excellent setter-conveying characteristics.
摘要:
A method for developing exposed lithographic printing plate precursors using a developer and replenisher is disclosed. The replenisher contains a higher concentration of a coating attack-suppressing agent than the developer, so that the aggressiveness of the developer remains substantially constant during the developer loading cycle.

A method of treating a print screen in order to retard blockage and to make the screen easier to clean comprises treating the print screen with a compound containing a fluorinated radical and a polar radical.
摘要:
A support made of an aluminum plate for a planographic printing plate is electrochemically roughened in an acidic aqueous solution in an electrolytic apparatus with plural cathodes and anodes arranged alternately on one side of the plate by applying a DC voltage. A soft starting zone which comprises at least one electrode connected to an electric power supply, which is separate from a main electric source, is provided. A current density of 0.01 to 100 A/dm2, which is lower than the current density used in any subsequent main roughening, is provided in the soft starting zone.

There is provided a lithographic plate material with which a lithographic plate is prepared by the hot-melt transfer recording method utilizing an ink ribbon. The lithographic plate material has an image-receptive layer for hot-melt transfer recording that has water retention property or can be imparted with water retention property on a support, and the image-receptive layer has surface roughness (JIS-B0601-1994) of 0.15 nullm or more in terms of arithmetical mean deviation Ra and 1.00-3.00 nullm in terms of 10-point height of irregularities Rz. It shows good transfer property for ink layer of ink ribbon and excellent fixation property for ink layer, and it enables production of a printing plate having excellent printing durability.
摘要:
A substrate for a planographic printing plate and a method of fabrication thereof. After a surface roughening treatment and before an anodizing treatment, an aluminum alloy plate to be used as the substrate is washed in an alkali solution, and then in an acidic solution. After surface-roughening, overlap points of Fe and Si macularly distributed at the surface of the aluminum alloy plate have a surface coverage of not more than 0.5%, and there are no more than 800 per 1 mm2 of overlap points which have sizes larger than 1.6null10null7 mm2. The planographic printing plate of the present invention has excellent printing capabilities in that, irrespective of printing conditions, soiling does not occur at a non-image portion of the planographic printing plate.
