Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain stable finish quality without degrading the quality of the printed images due to dust and dirt, by blowing dry air onto the photoconductor layer of the original plate before an electrifying stage. CONSTITUTION:The dry air is jetted onto the photoconductor layer of the original plate 1 before the electrification state in the case of formation of the printing plate by forming toner images on the photoconductor layer of the original plate 1 having the photoconductor layer on a base, then removing the photoconductor layer of non-image parts. An air nozzle 6 to blow the dry air to the photoconductor layer surface of the original plate 1 for electrophotographic printing is provided and the air to be sent to the air nozzle 6 is controlled in temp. and humidity by an air controller and is sent by a compressor to the air nozzle 6. The degradation in the quality of the printed images due to dust and dirt sticking to the surface of the photoconductor layer is prevented in this way and the influence of the humidity is eliminated. Improvement in the stability of the printed images is thus made.

Non-image area photoconductor layer removal liquid (eluent) Konica Corporation positive-type PS plate developer 5DR-1 Example 1 In the plate making machine shown in Fig. 1, the dust removal section 2 is used for an original plate for electrophotographic printing. At an angle of 50° with respect to the plate surface, 25°030% air is drawn horizontally in a straight line from the edge of the printing original plate on the IO side of the corona charger.
A slit-shaped air nozzle 6 was attached so as to hit the air at a wind speed of 0 to 15+i/see. Further, the supply layer 1b of the printing original plate is closed, and an air outlet (not shown) is provided behind the exposure section 4 so that the air ejected from the air nozzle 6 is circulated from the air nozzle 6 to the charging section 3 and the exposure section 4. I made it. While maintaining this state, 50 plates were made continuously, and 12 of the manuscripts were made.
When we measured the reproduction state of the 5 lines/inch, 50% halftone image on the printing plate, it was within the range of 50 ± 0.5%, or there was slight variation that was thought to be caused by stiffness or dust. No image defects were observed.
