B23B 300

US Classification:

428195, 428209, 428458, 428461, 427152, 427541, 101457, 1014631, 101465, 101466

Abstract:

A printing plate is prepared by the method comprising: (a) providing a substrate; and (b) applying by ink jetting to the substrate a fluid composition comprising a compound which comprises at least one nitrogen-containing heterocyclic moiety, providing a printing plate that is ready-to-use on a press without having to develop it. The printing plate of this invention is capable of extended press run length and advantageously avoids the need of chemical development.

Abstract:

A fluid composition suitable for ink jetting upon a substrate, which includes a copolymer having a low surface energy and a plurality of tertiary amine sites, where the tertiary amine sites are at least partially neutralized with an acid; a nonionic or cationic surfactant; and water. The fluid composition may be used to prepare a printable media comprised of a substrate and an ink receptive thermoplastic image layer supported on the substrate; where the ink receptive layer contains a copolymer having a low surface energy and a plurality of tertiary amine sites, the amine sites being at least partially neutralized with an acid. The invention also relates to a method for preparing a printable media by applying a fluid composition onto a substrate having at least one basic surface by means of an ink jet printing apparatus; where the fluid composition contains a copolymer having a plurality of tertiary amine sites, the amine sites being at least partially neutralized with an acid, and drying the fluid composition.
