ドで、未だ垂れ落らずメタリング[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a method of applying a photosensitive liquid in the production of a photosensitive printing plate. [Prior Art] Photosensitive negative printing plates are generally produced by coating a photosensitive composition on a support such as an aluminum plate, irradiating active light such as ultraviolet rays through a negative image, and removing the irradiated areas. The non-irradiated area is eluted into the developer by polymerization or cross-linking, and the non-irradiated area is eluted into the developer. This can be obtained by making the non-image area repulsive. In this case, the photosensitive composition is particularly suitable for negative type 2
In the 8th edition, diazo resins such as condensates of P-diazodiphenylamine and formaldehyde have been widely used. Also, when quinone diazos are used as photosensitive compositions, their solubility in aqueous alkaline solutions is reduced by irradiation with actinic rays. increases, and the unexposed areas can be left as a resist image by alkaline development after exposure, making it possible to obtain a positive photosensitive printing plate.In any case, when producing this type of printing plate, It is obtained by coating a photosensitive solution containing the photosensitive composition on a support, usually an aluminum plate, which has been pretreated by electropolishing, anodic oxidation, etc. in a grain chamber. For this purpose, the reverse roll coating method shown in Fig. 3 is mainly adopted.That is, the photosensitive liquid (2) is picked up by the applicator roll 2, which is partially immersed in the photosensitive liquid in the buff 1-1. , after transfer coating onto the surface of the support 8 conveyed by the backup roll 3 facing the applique roll 2, the excess photosensitive liquid is wiped off by the metering roll 4 to determine the film thickness, and the film is passed through the pan 5 with a doctor blade. This method returns the photosensitive liquid scraped by the vat 1 to the vat 1. 6 is a doctor blade made of metal, for example, phosphor bronze, and is used to prevent the metal ring from dripping yet.

In addition, for this application, the number of revolutions (speed) of the applicator roll 3 is determined mainly in relation to the gap between the applicator roll 2 and the support body B, and the conveyance speed of the support body I3, and The desired final film thickness is obtained by making the primary film thickness thicker than the desired final film thickness (liquid film thickness), and then applying metaling l cole 4 to the coating liquid while setting the position. Therefore, with respect to the primary film thickness of the photosensitive liquid applied by the applicator roll 2, the metering roll 4 acts as a film thickness control means for obtaining the final film thickness. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the conventional coating method described in -, photosensitive liquid 1. Since the photosensitive liquid I is replenished intermittently, the liquid level of the photosensitive liquid I fluctuates, and the constant film thickness varies depending on whether the liquid level is high or low. Particularly when the liquid level is high, an excessive amount of coating occurs and a flow of film formation is observed on the support B, and even if the film thickness is controlled by the metering roll 4, the width of the support B Direction (sometimes also in the direction of flow) ε:, produces a thickness of . On the other hand, a surfactant, particularly a fluorine-containing surfactant, is often added to this type of photosensitive liquid as a coatability improving agent. Especially when adding 107 surfactants, 5 and bat 1
Inside, as the applicators L and roller 2 rotate, the photosensitive liquid tends to fluidize and foam. This bubble is picked up by the applicator roll 2 together with the photosensitive liquid and applied to the support B'', resulting in a coating failure. Further, when the photosensitive liquid drips and falls into the pan 5 from the scraping doctor blade 6, foaming of the photosensitive liquid occurs. Moreover, the scraping photosensitive liquid deteriorates over time until it is reapplied. On the other hand, the conventional coating method requires a large number of rolls and a doctor blade, making the equipment complicated and requiring maintenance. Gravure coating methods are also known, but the gravure rolls need to be replaced every time they wear out, so a spare roll must always be kept on hand, and each time the roll is replaced, the line stops and productivity is reduced. not high. Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a coating method that can completely prevent bubble failures and can be structurally simplified. [Means for solving the problem] The above problem is to apply the photosensitive liquid onto the support through a slit along the width direction using an extrusion nozzle without forcing it out, and then to control the film thickness of the applied photosensitive liquid. The problem can be solved by obtaining a specified film thickness by adjusting the amount of extrusion from the extrusion nozzle and the conveyance speed of the support. [Function] According to the present invention, when the photosensitive liquid is directly applied to the support using an extrusion nozzle, fluctuations in film formation can be prevented as long as the photosensitive liquid is supplied at a constant supply rate. In addition, since the above-mentioned causes of bubble generation are completely eliminated, bubble failures can be reliably prevented. In addition, compared to the case of using an extrusion nozzle and transferring the photosensitive liquid through an applicator roll, even if air is mixed into the photosensitive liquid and there is a risk of pinhole failure, You only need to use that air once. That is, when using an applicator roll, air bubbles mixed into the photosensitive liquid adhere to the applicator roll and remain in the bead portion, resulting in streak failure. Furthermore, extrusion 6. using a metering roll, etc. Since there is no need to control (regulate) the film thickness after coating with a nozzle, it is possible to prevent foaming due to the photosensitive liquid dripping from the doctor blade, as seen in conventional examples, and to prevent the photosensitive liquid from forming a circulation system. There is no deterioration of the photosensitive liquid due to changes over time. Furthermore, since the coating device uses only an extrusion nozzle, it is extremely simple and easy to maintain, and there is no reduction in productivity due to line stoppage. [Specific Structure of the Invention] The present invention will be further explained in detail below with reference to a specific example shown in FIG. In the present invention, the extrusion nozzle 20 directly supplies and coats the photosensitive liquid onto the support B at a constant supply rate over time. Moreover, it is intended to obtain a predetermined film thickness only by coating from an extrusion nozzle, without using a metering roll to regulate the film thickness. As an example of the structure of the extrusion nozzle 20, as shown in FIG.
B is aligned, a narrow slit 22 is secured in the coating example, this slit 22 is communicated with the pocket 23, an inflow hole 24 for the photosensitive liquid is formed in the pocket 23, and a hole 24 is formed at both ends of the heads 21A and 21B. End plate 25A, 2
I guessed 5B. In this extrusion nozzle 20, when the photosensitive liquid from the tank 7 is pumped through the filter 9 by the pump 8,
The photosensitive liquid flows out from the slit 22 while spreading over the entire width of the pocket 23. The discharged photosensitive liquid is applied directly onto the support B. Therefore, the pump 8 pushes out the photosensitive liquid to the nozzle 20.
As long as the supply rate is constant, the igneous thickness will remain constant. Here, the filter 9 has a function of trapping not only dust in the photosensitive liquid but also bubbles if they are large. Lo is a new auxiliary photosensitive liquid. In the present invention, as the photosensitive liquid, all conventionally known photosensitive liquids for photosensitive printing plates can be used. This photosensitive liquid requires a photosensitive resin and a binder, and if necessary, coloring materials, alkyl ethers, coating improvers such as fluorosurfactants and nonionic surfactants, plasticizers, and photosensitive resins. It is prepared by adding a curing agent, etc. and dissolving it in a solvent. The viscosity of the photosensitive liquid (measured at 25° C. with a B-type viscometer) to which the method of the present invention is effectively applied is preferably 500 cp or less. Furthermore, the effects of the present invention are more pronounced when the photosensitive liquid contains a surfactant and is foamable. The amount of the surfactant added to the photosensitive liquid is preferably 0.1 to 5 parts by weight. A specific example of the activator is rF manufactured by 3M Company.

Alternatively, the surface may be grained by electrolytic roughening in hydrochloric acid or an electrolytic solution containing hydrochloric acid as a main component, and preferably further subjected to surface treatment such as anodizing treatment and, if necessary, sealing treatment. After applying the photosensitive liquid, it undergoes inspections such as drying, cutting, and surface inspection. The obtained photosensitive printing plate system plate is then adhered to a film, imagewise exposed by irradiation with actinic light, and developed with a developer, leaving an image area to form the final printing plate. [Example] Next, an example will be shown to clarify the effects of the present invention. After degreasing an aluminum plate with a thickness of 0.24 am, it was electrolytically polished with an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution and desmanted with caustic soda. Next, anodization treatment and hot water sealing treatment were performed in an aqueous sulfuric acid solution to obtain an aluminum plate for a lithographic printing plate. Next, the following photosensitive liquids were coated and dried on this aluminum plate using the coating apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, respectively.
