Abstract
Abstract Provided is a presensitized planographic printing plate requiring no dampening water for use in negative work which comprises a base substrate, a photosensitive layer secured to and overlying the base substrate, and containing an orthoquinonediazide compound and having a content of ethanol-soluble component not higher than 20% by weight, and a silicone rubber layer overlying the photosensitive layer through bonding component. When the printing plate is exposed through a negative film and then treated with a developer, the photosensitive layer in the exposed image areas is dissolved and the corresponding portion of the silicone rubber layer is also removed easily and is obtained image as an exact reproduction of the negative film. Dampening water is not required when printing is carried out.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
A negative working presensitized planographic printing plate for use in dry planography which comprises a base substrate; a photosensitive layer secured to and overlying said base substrate, said photosensitive layer containing a photosensitive orthoquinone-diazide compound which is a naphthoquinone-1,2-diazide-5-sulfonate of a novolak having a percent esterification as determined by IR spectrum in the range of between 44% and 65%; and a silicone rubber layer which is a sparsely cross-linked linear diorganopolysiloxane overlying said photosensitive layer through a bonding component which is an aminosilane of the formula R m R' n Si (OR") 4-m-n where R is an unsubstituted or monosubstituted amino group containing alkyl, R' and R" are each alkyl or aryl, m is 1 or 2 and n is 0 or 1, m+n being equal to 1 and 2.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
130 words
A negative working presensitized planographic printing plate for use in dry planography which comprises a base substrate; a photosensitive layer secured to and overlying said base substrate, said photosensitive layer containing a photosensitive orthoquinone-diazide compound which is a naphthoquinone-1,2-diazide-5-sulfonate of a novolak having a percent esterification as determined by IR spectrum in the range of between 44% and 65%; and a silicone rubber layer which is a sparsely cross-linked linear diorganopolysiloxane overlying said photosensitive layer through a bonding component which is an aminosilane of the formula R m R' n Si (OR") 4-m-n where R is an unsubstituted or monosubstituted amino group containing alkyl, R' and R" are each alkyl or aryl, m is 1 or 2 and n is 0 or 1, m+n being equal to 1 and 2.
