Abstract
Abstract A process for producing a light-sensitive lithographic plate requiring no dampening solution comprising (1) carrying out corona discharge treatment on the surface of a silicone rubber layer of a light-sensitive lithographic plate requiring no dampening solution wherein the silicone rubber layer is the top layer, (2) spraying a solution or dispersion containing a non-volatile solid component on said silicone rubber layer, and (3) drying to provide fine projection patterns on said silicone rubber layer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
A process for producing a light-sensitive lithographic plate requiring no dampening solution comprising (1) carrying out corona discharge treatment on the surface of a silicone rubber layer of a light-sensitive lithographic plate requiring no dampening solution wherein the silicone rubber layer is the top layer, (2) spraying a solution or dispersion containing a non-volatile solid component on said silicone rubber layer, and (3) drying to provide fine projection patterns, wherein said fine projection patterns have an average height in the range of about 0.5 to 50μ and are present in an amount of 1 to 1000/mm 2 on said silicone rubber layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
102 words
A process for producing a light-sensitive lithographic plate requiring no dampening solution comprising (1) carrying out corona discharge treatment on the surface of a silicone rubber layer of a light-sensitive lithographic plate requiring no dampening solution wherein the silicone rubber layer is the top layer, (2) spraying a solution or dispersion containing a non-volatile solid component on said silicone rubber layer, and (3) drying to provide fine projection patterns, wherein said fine projection patterns have an average height in the range of about 0.5 to 50μ and are present in an amount of 1 to 1000/mm 2 on said silicone rubber layer.
