  • 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
    Inventors: Graham C. Battersby, Mark D. Latunski, Kevin P. Kingman, Michael V. Oberski
  • 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.

  • Lithographic printing plate conditioner and method for lithographic printing
    Publication number: 20020078838
    Abstract: A printing method includes printing an ink with a lithographic printing press having a printing plate, stopping the printing press, and applying a plate conditioner to the printing plate. The plate conditioner contains a liquid having hydroxyl functionality and a solid organic compound that is at least partially soluble in the liquid having hydroxyl functionality. The method is especially advantageous when the ink is a single fluid lithographic ink containing an emulsified or dispersed fluid phase.
