Definitions
- the present invention relates to a printing plate that can be engraved by laser light and can be used for gravure printing and the like, and a method for producing the same.
- a recording material containing nitrocellulose is also known to increase the sensitivity, but the strength as a printing plate material is not sufficient.
- Japanese Patent Publication No. Sho 5] -35] 44 discloses that a photosensitive material containing nitrocellulose and a carbon black is applied to a support, and a support rest on the opposite side of the photosensitive layer is provided. It is disclosed that an image is formed by irradiating a laser beam from the back of the device. This prior document discloses an example in which ink is transferred to the photosensitive layer for printing.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-83667 discloses a gravure printing plate material provided with a photosensitive layer containing nitrocellulose and carbon black. However, these photosensitive layers are not practical as printing plate materials because of their low strength.
- the strength of the printing plate depends not only on the strength of the photosensitive layer but also on the strength of the support. For example, when a crystalline polyester film such as a biaxially stretched polyethylene film is used as a support rest, depending on processing conditions such as application of a photosensitive material. The strength of the printing plate fluctuates, and the original performance of crystalline polyester is not exhibited. There is a platform that cannot give strength.
- printed ffl plate materials are required to have high surface smoothness in order to prevent the printed material from being stained by the printing ink remaining on the surface of the printing plate. However, the surface smoothness of a plate material using a light-sensitive material containing nitrocellulose and carbon black is not so high. For this reason, the surface smoothness is poor, and the stain on the printed matter cannot be suppressed.
- the surface tension is higher than that of the gravure printing ink using an organic solvent. Even if the surface is smooth, it is difficult to remove excess printing ink from the plate by the blade. For this reason, the surface of the printing plate cannot be cleaned by the blade, and the remaining printing ink causes stain on the printed matter.
