Title:
【発明の名称】非融除性、熱作動リソグラフイメージング方法及び装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2001523181
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for lithographic imaging without ablation function by irreversibly debonding intermediate printing-plate layers, thereby rendering at least the surface layer removable by cleaning to expose, in an imagewise pattern, an underlying layer having a different affinity for ink and/or an abhesive fluid for ink. In contrast to ablation-type systems, it is unnecessary to destroy a plate layer, thereby reducing power requirements and facilitating increased imaging speeds.
