Abstract:
A plate for inkjet computer-to-plate and an inkjet printing method are disclosed.

Therefore, without undergoing the treatments of electrolytic graining and anodizing, the plate of the present invention can achieve excellent printing durability and high resolution, thereby avoiding serious environmental pollution of the waste acid solution and waste base solution produced in the process of electrolytic graining and anodizing.

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    The present invention pertains to the field of printing plate, and particularly relates to a plate for inkjet computer-to-plate and an inkjet printing method. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    Offset lithographic printing is dominant in Chinese printing industry owing to its excellent performance. At present, the main printing substrate is aluminum substrate, and other metallic substrate, such as copper substrate and zinc substrate, can also be used. The aluminum substrate is generally undergoes treatments of anodizing and graining, so as to improve the printing durability and the resolution of aluminum plate (refer to CN85100875A). Through investigation, it is found that for a large-scale anodizing factory for aluminum substrate, the consumption of electric energy is 2,000,000 KWh per month, which leads to a cost of about $160,000/month, and in order to produce 10,000 m 2  of aluminum substrate, the output of the waste acid solution is about two tons and the output of the waste base solution is about three tons. The discharge of a large amount of the waste acid solution and the waste base solution has caused serious environmental pollution.

The content of silica in the alloy base is 30˜60 wt % (during smelting of aluminum, silica accounting for 30˜60 wt % of the total amount of silica and aluminum is added). An alloy base of aluminum and zinc, in which a content of the zinc is 1˜3 wt % or an alloy base of aluminum and iron, in which a content of the iron is 0.1˜1 wt % may also be used.

         [0018]    The method for preparing the plate for inkjet computer-to-plate of the present invention may comprise the following steps: adhesive sol consisting of solute and solvent is coated on the surface of the metallic base, and an adhesive layer is obtained after the solvent is removed by drying; an ink repulsive liquid, which is a mixed liquid of silicon rubber and curing agent or a mixed liquid of fluorine-containing resin and organic solvent, is coated on the adhesive layer; an ink repulsive layer, which is a mixture of silicon rubber and curing agent, is obtained after the silicon rubber is cured by drying, or an ink repulsive layer, which is fluorine-containing resin, is obtained after the solvent is removed by drying; as a result, the plate for inkjet computer-to-plate is obtained. 
         [0019]    The plate for inkjet computer-to-plate may be further covered with a protective layer, which may be a polymer film having a thickness of 1˜20 μm, to obtain a plate for inkjet computer-to-plate with a protective layer.

The obtained plate for inkjet computer-to-plate may be further covered with a polymer film as a protective layer, to protect the plate from scratch during transport.
