  • Printing Plate
    Patent number: 7067232
    Abstract: A printing plate for computer-to plate lithography having a laser-ablatable member supported by a substrate. At least one portion of the laser-ablatable member is formed form an acrylic polymer containing laser-sensitive particles. The laser-sensitive particles absorb imaging radiation and cause the portion of the laser-ablatable member containing the laser sensitive particles and any overlying layers to be ablated.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 5, 2003
    Date of Patent: June 27, 2006
    Assignee: Alcoa Inc.

  • Ceramic applicator device and method of use
    Patent number: 6673391
    Abstract: A coated substrate, such as thick, coated metal sheet is made using a system (10) where a moving metal sheet substrate (12), preferably aluminum over 0.1 mm thick contacts an applicator roll (20) which has a non-deformable, micro-porous flat ceramic surface which is coated with a coating liquid (14) which is picked up, by a metering roll (18) and applied to the applicator roll (20) by contact with the coated metering roll, and where a backup roll (22) usually helps support the moving substrate.
