Abstract

See full text

Printing members resistant to handling damage include a porous compressible layer that deforms in response to applied forces, inhibiting overlying layers from tearing or scratching. One type of construction involves ablation-type printing members, wherein pulses from a heat source ablate one or more layers to expose (or facilitate exposure of by cleaning) an underlying layer. A second type of construction utilizes traditional photoexposure-type layers that harden or increase adhesion to adjacent layers in response to actinic radiation. The compressible layer is typically located below the radiation-responsive or imaging layer, but may also serve as that layer.
