  • Publication number: 20250135767
    Abstract: A lithographic printing plate precursor is disclosed which includes a support and a coating comprising a photopolymerisable layer including a polymerisable compound, an initiator and a pH sensitive colorant precursor and a protective overcoat layer provided above the photopolymerisable layer including a heat sensitive color-forming IR dye, which upon exposure to heat and/or light forms a print-out image which remains stable or increases during storage of the precursor in light or dark environment.

  • Patent number: 12226997
    Abstract: A lithographic printing plate precursor is disclosed which comprises a support, a photopolymerizable image recording layer and an overcoat which comprises a low-molecular radical inhibitor. After image-wise exposure, the plate is heated whereby the radical inhibitor diffuses from the overcoat to the image recording layer, resulting in an increase of the daylight stability of the exposed and heated precursor. Such plate is especially suitable for on-press processing.
