Abstract: A method for preparing a metal substrate for inkjet CTP, comprising: treating a metal substrate by anodizing or non-anodizing (such as sandpaper burnishing, sand blasting, polishing, or brushing), and then applying a hydrophilic polymer paint on the surface of the metal substrate. Due to the existence of nano-size or micron-size oxide particles in the hydrophilic polymer paint, the metal substrate has high specific surface energy, while the metal substrate has a certain roughness, therefore the metal substrate has ink absorbency and good abrasive resistance. The metal substrate can reduce the spread of ink droplets and produces print image having better resolution and definition. The non-anodizing method can avoid environmental pollution which is caused by waste acid and waste alkali discharge of anodizing method.

Abstract: A plate for inkjet computer-to-plate and an inkjet printing method are disclosed. The plate is obtained by coating adhesive on the surface of metallic base followed by coating ink repulsive liquid, and a polymer film can be further covered on the obtained plate as protective layer. The adhesive improves the adhesion force between the metallic base and the ink repulsive layer, and the obtained ink repulsive layer is not sticky to the printing ink during printing. Therefore, without undergoing the treatments of electrolytic graining and anodizing, the plate of the present invention can achieve excellent printing durability and high resolution, thereby avoiding serious environmental pollution of the waste acid solution and waste base solution produced in the process of electrolytic graining and anodizing.
