Abstract

Abstract A method for producing a plate or sheet useful in planographic printing which is characterized in that the surface of an oleophilic body comprising oleophilic resin is subjected to a corona discharge treatment to form a hydrophilic layer on said surface, and that said method can be carried out without difficulty at a low cost and the reproducibility of the printing plate thereby produced is excellent.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 102 words
A method for producing a planographic printing plate or sheet which is characterized in that the surface of an oleophilic body comprising an oleophilic resin is subjected to a corona discharge treatment to form a hydrophilic layer on said surface, wherein said olephilic resin is polybutadiene, said corona discharge is the discharge of a sinusoidial AC voltage of 3 kHz frequency and 15,000 volts at a current of 1.8 amps, and wherein not less than 0.05 milliwatt hour of discharge current is applied to each 1 cm 2 of the surface of said body, whereby the wettability of said surface is increased.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 102 words
A method for producing a planographic printing plate or sheet which is characterized in that the surface of an oleophilic body comprising an oleophilic resin is subjected to a corona discharge treatment to form a hydrophilic layer on said surface, wherein said olephilic resin is polybutadiene, said corona discharge is the discharge of a sinusoidial AC voltage of 3 kHz frequency and 15,000 volts at a current of 1.8 amps, and wherein not less than 0.05 milliwatt hour of discharge current is applied to each 1 cm 2 of the surface of said body, whereby the wettability of said surface is increased.
Claim 3
Independent Claim 102 words
A method for producing a planographic printing plate or sheet which is characterized in that the surface of an oleophilic body comprising an oleophilic resin is subjected to a corona discharge treatment to form a hydrophilic layer on said surface, wherein said olephilic resin is polybutadiene, said corona discharge is the discharge of a sinusoidal AC voltage of 3 kHz frequency and 15,000 volts at a current of 3.6 amps, and wherein not less than 0.05 milliwatt hour of discharge current is applied to each 1 cm 2 of the surface of said body, whereby the wettability of said surface is increased.
Claim 4
Independent Claim 102 words
A method for producing a planographic printing plate or sheet which is characterized in that the surface of an oleophilic body comprising an oleophilic resin is subjected to a corona discharge treatment to form a hydrophilic layer on said surface, wherein said olephilic resin is polybutadiene, said corona discharge is the discharge of a sinusoidal AC voltage of 3 kHz frequency and 15,000 volts at a current of 3.6 amps, and wherein not less than 0.05 milliwatt hour of discharge current is applied to each 1 cm 2 of the surface of said body, whereby the wettability of said surface is increased.
