  • Patent number: 8945799
    Abstract: A pellicle which has a mask adhesive layer that can be plastic-deformed readily particularly at a temperature at which exposure to light is carried out, rarely provides a residue of an adhesive agent upon the removal of the mask adhesive layer from a mask and has good handling properties, and which can prevent the position gap of a pattern. The pellicle comprises a pellicle frame, a pellicle membrane and a mask adhesive layer containing a mask adhesive agent. The mask adhesive agent comprises 100 parts by mass of a thermoplastic elastomer (A) having a tan ? peak temperature of ?20 to 30 DEG C and 20 to 150 parts by mass of an adhesiveness-imparting resin (B).

  • Patent number: 7662537
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a lithographic printing plate with a hydrophilic layer mainly made from resins which has a photosensitivity to the light in near infrared region, on which images can be printed directly with laser beam, requiring no development and wiping off operation, and immediately recovering from ink stains without any difficulties when an ink attaches to non-image areas on printing, and a photosensitive resin composition applied to the printing plate. A lithographic printing original plate having a photosensitive layer formed on a support is characterized in that the surface of the photosensitive layer has a phase-separation structure, and the recessed parts are formed on the surface of a photosensitive layer by the dissolution of one component of photosensitive layer constituting the phase-separation and the surface of the photosensitive layer is changed to have affinity for ink by irradiation with light.

  • Publication number: 20090110887
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a lithographic printing plate precursor which is less apt to suffer from contamination by ablation in forming an image and having an excellent printing performance through image formation. A lithographic printing plate precursor comprises a base material (I), a photosensitive layer (II) containing a light/heat conversion agent on the base material (I), and a layer (III) covering the photosensitive layer (II), wherein the layer (III) covering the photosensitive layer contains both a water-soluble polymer and a hydrophobic polymer, and contains substantially no light/heat conversion agent is provided. The layer (III) covering the photosensitive layer is preferred to contain the water-soluble polymer and the hydrophobic polymer in a proportion of from 10:90 to 90:10 by mass.

  • Publication number: 20090087783
    Abstract: The present invention provides a precursor that may provide a lithographic printing plate having an excellent image forming capability and having not only good hydrophilicity in a non-image part but also excellent printing resistance. Specifically, the present invention provides a lithographic printing plate precursor having a photosensitive layer containing a hydrophilic polymer, a crosslinking agent, hydrophobic polymer particles and a photo-thermal converter, wherein the hydrophilic polymer does not substantially contain, in its polymer chain, any of alcoholic hydroxyl groups and carboxyl groups (for example, 1.5% or less by mol of the repeating units of the hydrophilic polymer contain an alcoholic hydroxyl or carboxyl group).

  • Publication number: 20080305427
    Abstract: It relates to a processless lithographic printing plate requiring no post treatments after exposure to laser, wherein a difference between the lightness (L*1) of a laser unexposed area and the lightness (L*2) of a laser exposed area after irradiation with laser is 10?(L*2?L*1)<100. An object of the present invention is to provide plate bodies having excellent printing plate inspection in a lithographic printing plate in which drawing with laser light and processless are realized. When the lithographic printing plate of the present invention is used, it is possible to provide a processless lithographic printing plate, which is excellent in sensitivity and resolution, requires no treatments such as development, wiping-off or the like and is excellent in printing plate inspection in the laser exposed area by changing only the surface of the laser exposed area into the oleophilicity.
