Title:
LITHOGRAPHIC PRINTING MEMBERS HAVING PRIMER LAYERS AND METHOD OF IMAGING SAID MEMBERS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/108075
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A primer layer (104) that includes a surface-tension modifier dispersed within a polymer binder is disposed between the imaging layer (106) and the substrate (102) of a lithographic printing member (100) to inhibit the production of thermal degradation products that disrupt the oleophilicity of the exposed imaged areas, thereby improving print-making performance and efficiency. In addition, embodiments of the primer layer inhibit static charge buildup during production and during the print-making process.
