  • Publication number: 20190023052
    Abstract: Provided are a planographic printing plate precursor, a laminate thereof, and a method of producing a planographic printing plate precursor capable of satisfying all purposes for eliminating interleaving paper used for preventing scraping and peeling, preventing adhesion, imparting a plate-separating property for preventing multiple-plate feeding, and preventing scratches. The planographic printing plate precursor which includes a polymer layer on a surface of a belt-like support 12 includes a back coat layer 70 having an arithmetic average surface roughness Ra of 0.5 ?m or greater due to a surface roughness structure in which thin film portions 60 and thick film portions 62 are continuously formed on a rear surface of the belt-like support 12.

  • Publication number: 20180117942
    Abstract: Provided is a printing plate precursor including: a support; a layer which contains a polymer on one side of the support; and a layer which contains a metal oxide obtained by hydrolyzing and polycondensing an organic metal compound or an inorganic metal compound and fine particles on the other side of the support, in which an average particle diameter of the fine particles is 0.3 ?m or greater and is greater than the thickness of the layer containing a metal oxide and fine particles, and in a case where the printing plate precursors are laminated, dislocation in stacking precursors, adhesion between precursors, and scratches can be all prevented even without using interleaving paper.
