Problems solved by technology

In the subsequent printing process, the residual image appears on the printed matter in various printed colors as a blurred ghost image of the previously printed image, thus affecting the quality of the printed product, especially for high-definition works
[0010] Frequent blanket changes add significantly to press operating costs

Embodiment

[0027] A thickened aqueous cleaning solution is prepared from the following ingredients:

[0028] Element weight% xanthan gum (a) 0.3 NaOH (50% aqueous solution) 7.5 Monoethanolamine 3.6 Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether 5.5 Nonylphenol Ethoxylate (b) 1.3 Phosphate (c) 1.7 Fragrance 0.07 Colorant <0.1

water remainder

[0029] T, produced by CP Kelco, Georgia, USA, a thickener.

[0030] NP-9, ex Dow Chemical Company, a surfactant.

[0031] (c) Interphon AEPE ( TM ) (alkyl ethoxy phosphate) from Sialco Materials Ltd., Delta, British Columbia, a surfactant.

[0032]The cleaning solution was prepared by the method described below. In a mixing vessel add water, 50% NaOH solution and monoethanolamine and mix together for 5-10 minutes to obtain a homogeneous mixture. Then, co-solvent ethylene glycol monobutyl ether and two surfactants, nonylphenol ethoxylate and phosphate ester, were added. Mix for 5-10...

Abstract

A thickened aqueous cleaning solution for removing residual ink images from the surface of a blanket used in offset lithographic printing which has been subjected to printing using radiation-curable ink. The cleaning solution comprises an alkaline builder, a thickener, a co-solvent, a surfactant and water. A method for removing the residual ink images from the blanket comprises removing the blanket from the offset lithographic printing press, applying a layer of the thickened aqueous cleaning solution to the blanket, rubbing the surface of the blanket, for example with rags or a scouring pad, and removing the soiled cleaning solution.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of offset printing and in particular to the restoration of blankets used with radiation curable printing inks in such printing. Background technique [0002] Offset printing is a printing method well known in the industry. In this method, the image is transferred from an inked lithographic master to a rubber or elastomeric surface and then onto a substrate rather than directly to the substrate as in a letterpress printing press. The most common offset printing technique uses water and ink. [0003] The offset printing process starts with a blank unimaged lithographic precursor in the form of a printing plate coated with a radiation sensitive medium. The lithographic precursor is converted into a lithographic master by a process whereby more hydrophilic regions and more hydrophobic regions are created on the surface of the printing plate, typically by imaging. This can be done by photographic methods, or dir...
