  • Lithographic printing method and materials
    Patent number: 6854391
    Abstract: A conditioner composition for a printing plate with metallic non-print areas on the printing surface contains a polymeric or oligomeric component. The polymeric component adheres to the metal (particularly, aluminum) surface of the non-print area(s) of the printing member, and has a hydrophilic portion. The conditioned printing plate is particularly useful for printing single fluid inks having an emulsified hydrophilic fluid phase.

  • Lithographic printing method using a single fluid ink
    Patent number: 6840175
    Abstract: A planographic printing apparatus and method is provided for single fluid lithographic printing using a plate cylinder having a generally neutral pH hydrophilic material in the non-image areas.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 20, 2002
    Date of Patent: January 11, 2005
    Assignee: Flint Ink Corporation

  • Lithographic printing inks
    Patent number: 6806301
    Abstract: A single fluid lithographic printing ink composition includes a hydrophobic phase and a hydrophilic fluid phase. The hydrophilic fluid phase contains water or a liquid polyol or both. The hydrophobic phase contains a hydrogen bonding vinyl polymer that can hydrogen bond with the hydrophilic fluid phase. The vinyl polymers are preferably branched, but remain soluble in the hydrophobic phase. The invention provides stable inks that can be used as single fluid inks with excellent fountain stability and resistance to toning.

  • Dispersants
    Patent number: 4746739
    Abstract: A pigment dispersant is derived from a compound of molecular weight less than 600 which contains at least three functional groups, at least one of which is an epoxy group. Preferably the compound contains at least three epoxy groups, for example triglycidyl isocyanurate. The core radical derived from the said compound is bonded to more than one solvent-compatible organic radical of molecular weight at least 200, the average molecular weight of the solvent-compatible radicals being at least 500, and to a pigment-compatible radical containing a polar group.
