Record 7 1994-05-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Platemaking (Printing)
  • Lithography, Offset Printing and Collotype
DEF

A lacquerless presensitized plate used for offset lithography which must be developed with a solution that contains a lacquer, as opposed to a subtractive plate.

CONT

Additive and subtractive plates. Development of presensitized plates after exposure to light depends on whether the plate is of the additive or subtractive type. Development of additive plates utilizes a developer solution that contains a lacquer and a desensitizer. As the solution dissolves the non-image area coating, the lacquer adheres to the stencil, making it ink receptive, and the desensitizer prevents the base metal in the non-printing areas from becoming sensitive to ink. Often, gum arabic is applied to form a protective barrier that prevents contamination of the non-image areas before the plate is put on press.
