| 20080220365 | NEGATIVE-WORKING IMAGEABLE ELEMENTS AND METHODS OF USE - A radiation-sensitive composition includes a free radically polymerizable component, an initiator composition capable of generating free radicals sufficient to initiate polymerization upon exposure to imaging radiation, an infrared radiation absorbing dye having a tetraaryl pentadiene chromophore, a polymeric binder comprising a polymer backbone to which are directly or indirectly linked poly(alkylene glycol) side chains, and a nonionic phosphate acrylate having a molecular weight of at least 250. This composition can be used to prepare a negative-working imageable element that is sensitive to suitable imaging radiation and can be imaged at relatively low energy and developed either on-press or off-press. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20090004595 | INITIATOR COMPOSITIONS, NEGATIVE-WORKING IMAGEABLE ELEMENTS, AND METHODS OF USE - An initiator composition and infrared radiation-sensitive composition include an onium cation and a boron-containing anion as well as a metallocene. These compositions can be used to provide negative-working imageable elements that can be imaged and developed to provide lithographic printing plates that have desired imaging speed, excellent run length, and shelf life without the need for a post-exposure baking step and oxygen barrier overcoat. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090047599 | NEGATIVE-WORKING IMAGEABLE ELEMENTS AND METHODS OF USE - A negative-working imageable element has an imageable layer that includes an initiator composition including an iodonium cation and a boron-containing anion at a molar ratio of at least 1.2:1, an infrared radiation absorbing compound, a primary polymeric binder, and a spirolactone or spirolactam colorant precursor. The imaged element exhibits improved print-out. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090269699 | ON-PRESS DEVELOPABLE ELEMENTS AND METHODS OF USE - A negative-working imageable element has an imageable layer that includes an infrared radiation absorbing dye that upon exposure to thermal irradiation, changes from colorless to a visible color or from one visible color to another visible color, providing a ΔE of at least 5 between the exposed and non-exposed regions of the imageable layer within 3 hours of its exposure to 300 mJ/cm | 10-29-2009 |
| 20100075258 | ON-PRESS DEVELOPABLE IMAGEABLE ELEMENTS - On press developable negative-working, on-press developable imageable elements have improved printout qualities with an incorporated infrared radiation absorbing compound that has a cyanine dye chromophore that is represented by the following Structure (CHROMOPHORE): | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100216067 | LITHOGRAPHIC PRINTING PLATE DEVELOPING COMPOSITIONS - A concentrated developer can be prepared with less than 60 weight % water and still remain in a single phase with little or no haze or precipitation. This developer concentrate also includes a water-soluble or water-miscible organic solvent, one or more alkyl ether carboxylic acid, coconut oil alkanolamine, coconut fatty alcohol polyglycol ether, β-naphtholethoxylate, and block propylene oxide-ethylene oxide in an amount of at least 0.1 and up to 50 weight % solids, and optionally an alkyl naphthalene sulfonate in an amount of up to 40 weight % solids. The developer concentrate can be diluted up to 80:1 or greater with water and used to process imaged lithographic printing plate precursors. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100316956 | PREPARING LITHOGRAPHIC PRINTING PLATES WITH ENHANCED CONTRAST - Lithographic printing plates can be prepared with enhanced contrast between the image and background by coloring the imaged or exposed regions using a coloring fluid containing a water-insoluble colorant (dye or pigment) and an organic solvent that swells the imaged regions sufficiently for the colorant to be embedded or diffused therein. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20120015295 | INFRARED-SENSITIVE COMPOSITION FOR PRINTING PLATE PRECURSORS - A lithographic printing plate precursor has a substrate and an infrared radiation-sensitive composition comprising a polymeric binder, a free radical polymerizable system consisting of at least one polymerizable component, a compound capable of absorbing infrared radiation, and an initiator system comprising an iodonium salt that is capable of producing free radicals; and at least 1% and up to and including 10% by weight, based on the infrared-sensitive composition, of at least one mono- or polycarboxylic acid having an aromatic moiety. | 01-19-2012 |
