[0130] 1.1 Preparation of lithographic substrates

[0131] A 0.3 mm thick AA1050 aluminum sheet was first degreased in NaOH (25 g / l) for 10 seconds at 70° C. and washed in deionized water for 5 seconds at room temperature. Afterwards, the sheets were neutralized in a dilute hydrochloric acid solution of pH 2 The charge density and 120A / dm 2 The current density of the aluminum sheet is potentiostatic (constant voltage) roughened. The roughening process was carried out in a 12.5 g / l hydrochloric acid solution. The obtained substrate was comparative lithographic support PPS-0.

[0132] The lithographic supports PPS-1 to PPS-10 according to the invention were obtained by adding the additives summarized in Table 1 at two different concentrations (0.0034M and 0.034M).

[0144] A 0.3 mm thick AA1050 aluminum was first degreased in NaOH (25 g / l) for 10 seconds at 70° C. and washed in deionized water for 5 seconds at room temperature. Afterwards, it was neutralized in dilute hydrochloric acid solution (pH≦2) for 10 seconds at room temperature and washed again in deionized water for 5 seconds at room temperature. Finally, use 960C / dm at 37°C 2 The charge density and 120A / dm 2 The current density makes it constant potential (constant voltage) roughening. The roughening process was carried out in a 12.5 g / l hydrochloric acid solution. The obtained substrate was comparative lithographic support PPS-11.

[0145] The lithographic supports PPS-12 to PPS-21 according to the invention were obtained by adding three different concentrations (0.00034M, 0.0034M and 0.034M) of the additives summarized in Table 1 to a roughening solution containing 12.5 g / l hydrochloric acid .

Abstract

A method for making a lithographic printing plate support is disclosed, which comprises the steps of : (i) providing an aluminum support; (ii) graining said support in an electrolyte composition; (iii) anodizing said grained support; characterized that said electrolyte composition comprises an effective concentration of a benzoic acid derivative or a sulphonic acid derivative.

Description

field of invention [0001] The invention relates to a method of making a lithographic printing form support and a method of making a thermally and / or photosensitive lithographic printing form comprising said support. Background of the invention [0002] Lithographic printing presses use so-called printing masters, such as printing plates that are mounted on the cylinders of the printing press. A master has a lithographic image on its surface to which a print is made by applying ink to the image and subsequently transferring the ink from the master to a printing substrate, usually paper. In conventional so-called "wet" lithography, ink is supplied with an aqueous dampening solution (also called dampening liquid) to areas composed of oleophilic (or hydrophobic, ie accept ink but repel water) and hydrophilic (or hydrophobic) areas. A lithographic image composed of areas that accept water but repel ink. In so-called waterless offset printing, the lithographic image consists of ...
