Abstract

See full text

A lithographic printing plate for use on a printing press, with minimal or no additional processing after exposure to actinic radiation, comprises a printing plate substrate, a polymeric resist layer capable of imagewise photodegradation or photohardening, and a plurality of microencapsulated developers capable of blanket-wise promoting the washing out of either exposed or unexposed areas of the polymeric resist. The microencapsulated developers may be integrated into the polymeric resist layer, or may form a separate layer deposited atop the polymeric resist layer, or may be coated onto a separate sheet support capable of being brought into face-to-face contact with conventional printing plates.
