Problems solved by technology

However, since the treatment solution does not contain an alkali component, it is necessary to make the binder polymer in the photosensitive layer hydrophilic to enable development, resulting in a problem of severe deterioration in printing durability
[0009] Since the developing process known hitherto includes three steps: developing with a strong alkaline aqueous solution, washing the alkaline reagent with a water bath, and then treating with a gum solution mainly containing a hydrophilic resin, the automatic developing machine has a large size, and the waste liquid The volume is large and the operating cost is high
[0010] On the other hand, in the case of development using, for example, a low-alkaline developer having a pH of 9 to 11, problems such as generation of development scum, poor development performance, and printing durability of the obtained lithographic printing plate need to be solved. insufficient

[0629] In the purple semiconductor laser plate setter Vx9600 (manufactured by FUJIFILM Electronic Imaging Ltd.), in which the InGaN semiconductor laser (emission: 405nm±10nm / output: 30mW) had been replaced by a semiconductor laser having an output power of 100mW, the Lithographic printing original plate at 0.25mJ / cm 2 Image exposure is carried out according to the exposure amount of the plate surface. Use developer 1 in a figure 1 The exposed lithographic printing plate precursor was developed without preheating in an automatic development processor of the configuration shown in . Except as described above, developability, print image forming performance, handling performance and printing durability were evaluated in the same manner as in Example 1, and the same good evaluation results as in Example 1 were obtained.

Embodiment 76

[0631] use has figure 2 An automatic development processor of the configuration shown (LP1250PLX, manufactured by FUJIFILMCorp.) image-exposed the lithographic printing plate precursor of Example 1 in the same manner as in Example 1, and subjected to development processing within 30 seconds. The automatic development processor is composed of a preheating unit, a pre-washing unit, a developing unit, a washing unit, and a finishing unit in this order. The heating condition in the preheating unit was 100° C. for 10 seconds. Into the developing bath, developer solution 1 was supplied. Do not supply any liquid to the pre-washing unit, washing unit and touch-up unit, but only use their delivery function. Except for the above-mentioned development treatment, developability, print image forming performance, handling performance and printing durability were evaluated in the same manner as in Example 1, and the same good evaluation results as in Example 1 were obtained.

Abstract

A process for producing a lithographic printing plate which comprises treating a lithographic printing plate precursor having a photosensitive layer containing a hexaarylbiimidazole compound and a protective layer with a developing solution containing a specific organic solvent and at least either a surfactant or a water-soluble polymer. The generation of development scum is inhibited in the process, and both satisfactory developability and satisfactory printing durability can be attained. The printing plate precursor can be treated with one bath, which is the weakly alkaline developing solution. The process hence has merits including simplification of treatment steps, friendliness to the global environment, space saving, and suitability for a reduction in running cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of preparing lithographic printing plates. Background technique [0002] Typically, lithographic printing plates consist of oleophilic image areas that accept ink during printing and hydrophilic non-image areas that accept dampening water. Lithography is a printing process that involves the steps of making the oleophilic image area of ​​a lithographic printing plate an ink-receiving area and its hydrophilic non-image area a wetting water-accepting area (ink-unaffected area), thereby causing the ink to Differences in adhesion on the surface of the lithographic printing plate, and the use of the property of water and printing ink to repel each other to deposit ink only in the image area, and then transfer the ink to a printing material such as paper. [0003] In order to prepare lithographic printing plates, a lithographic printing plate precursor (PS plate) comprising a hydrophilic support on which an lipophili...
