Abstract
Abstract A printing plate formed of a substrate and laminated thereon in the following order a primer layer and a photosensitive layer containing a quinonediazide compound and a silicone rubber layer, wherein the primer layer contains 0.1 to 25% by weight of a quinonediazide group. The printing plate of the present invention is excellent in dot reproduction, hardly causes cracking in the photosensitive layer, and has a wide latitutde in production.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
108 words
A printing plate in which the surface of the photosensitive layer or the primer layer serve as an ink receivable image area enabling printing without the use of dampening water, comprising a substrate and superimposed on said substrate in the following order (a) a primer layer, wherein said primer layer contains 0.01 to 25% by weight, based on the total weight of the primer layer, of a compound containing a photosensitive o-quinoediazide group, (b) a photosensitive layer containing an o-quinonediazide compound, and wherein after processing the surface of the photosensitive layer or the primer layer serves as an ink receivable image area, and (c) a silicone rubber layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
108 words
A printing plate in which the surface of the photosensitive layer or the primer layer serve as an ink receivable image area enabling printing without the use of dampening water, comprising a substrate and superimposed on said substrate in the following order (a) a primer layer, wherein said primer layer contains 0.01 to 25% by weight, based on the total weight of the primer layer, of a compound containing a photosensitive o-quinoediazide group, (b) a photosensitive layer containing an o-quinonediazide compound, and wherein after processing the surface of the photosensitive layer or the primer layer serves as an ink receivable image area, and (c) a silicone rubber layer.
