Publication number: 20180157176Abstract: A lithographic printing plate precursor has a substrate comprising a hydrophilic surface and two opposing edges; a radiation-sensitive imagable layer, and optionally, a protective layer disposed over that layer. The precursor has a shear droop at each opposing edge, each shear droop having a shear droop depth Y of 20-200 ?m and a shear droop width X of 500-2000 ?m. The precursor also has a hydrophilic coating band extending from each of the two opposing edges inwardly along the hydrophilic surface independently to provide a hydrophilic coating band width A of at least 1.5 times the shear droop width X. This hydrophilic coating band comprises amphoteric surfactant(s) in an amount greater than all other surfactants. Such individual precursors are obtained by cutting a continuous radiation-sensitive web into strips and such cutting creates the shear droop that can result in edge staining if the hydrophilic coating band is not present.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2017Publication date: June 7, 2018Inventors: Masamichi Kamiya, Yuuki Torihata, Akira lgarashi, Koji Hayashi, Jianbing Huang
