Abstract
Description
この平版印刷版を作製するため、従来は、親水性の支持体上に親油性の感光性樹脂層(画像記録層)を設けてなる平版印刷版原版(PS版)を用い、PS版にリスフィルムなどのマスクを通した露光を行った後、アルカリ性現像液などによる現像処理を行い、画像部に対応する画像記録層を残存させ、非画像部に対応する不要な画像記録層を溶解除去して、平版印刷版を得ていた。
また、簡易現像の方法としては、オーバーコート層と画像記録層の不要部分の除去を、同一の浴槽で行い、更に、従来の高アルカリ性現像液ではなく、pHが中性に近いフィニッシャー又はガム液によって行うオーバーコート層と画像記録層の不要部分の除去と除去により露出した親水面の保護を同時に行う「ガム現像」と呼ばれる方法も行われている。
更には、水溶性樹脂が下塗り層まで達してしまうと、光重合による重合が不十分となり、湿し水浸透時に脱膜しやすい状態になり、耐刷性が不十分である欠点もあった。

3.増感色素が、赤外線吸収染料であることを特徴とする前記2に記載の平版印刷版原版。
4.増感色素が、紫外線吸収染料であることを特徴とする前記2に記載の平版印刷版原版。
5.支持体と、赤外線吸収染料、ラジカル重合開始剤及びラジカル重合性化合物を含有し、印刷インキ及び湿し水の少なくともいずれかにより除去可能な画像記録層と、水溶液中で曇点を有するアミノ基及びアミド結合の少なくともいずれかを含むモノマー単位を有する高分子樹脂を含有するオーバーコート層とを有することを特徴とする前記3に記載の平版印刷版原版。

9.オーバーコート層塗設時の乾燥温度が、前記高分子樹脂の前記曇点以上であることを特徴とする前記8に記載の平版印刷版原版の製造方法。
この作用機構については、必ずしも明らかではないが、次のように考えられる。
曇点を有するアミノ基及びアミド結合の少なくともいずれかを含むモノマー単位を有する高分子樹脂は、オーバーコート層塗布液の調液時には水溶液中に安定に溶解するが、オーバーコート層塗布乾燥時には曇点以上で水に不溶化するため、画像記録層への界面混合を抑止でき、画像記録層に水溶性樹脂が混入し難くなる。そのため、機上現像時に湿し水でオーバーコート層を除去しやすく、画像記録層表面の水溶性高分子樹脂残存量を減少させることが可能になる。また、前該高分子樹脂は、曇点以下で水溶液中に溶解しやすく、粘度も上がらない。そのため、ガム現像時にオーバーコート層が溶解しても分散性に優れ、現像浴内の水溶液粘度が上がらないため、ランニング処理性にも優れる。更に、塗布乾燥時に高分子樹脂間でアミノ基又はアミド結合が相互作用するため酸素遮断性が高く保持され、また膜自体も硬い。
その結果、「ガム現像」の際にガム現像性、ランニング処理性、耐傷性に優れ、「機上現像」の際に機上現像性、感度を維持したまま、インキ着肉性、耐刷性を向上させることができるものと考えている。

本発明の画像記録層には、画像記録層の膜強度を向上させるため、バインダーポリマーを用いることができる。本発明に用いることができるバインダーポリマーは、従来公知のものを制限なく使用でき、皮膜性を有するポリマーが好ましい。なかでも、アクリル樹脂、ポリビニルアセタール樹脂、ポリウレタン樹脂が好ましい。
本発明では、機上現像性を向上させるため、ポリマー微粒子を用いることができる。特に、ポリアルキレンオキシド構造を有するポリマー微粒子が好ましい。なかでも側鎖にポリアルキレンオキシド基を有するポリマー微粒子が好ましい。
これらにより、湿し水の浸透性が向上し、機上現像性が良好となる。ポリアルキレンオキシド構造としては、炭素数2又は3のアルキレンオキシド単位を2~120個有するアルキレンオキシド構造が好ましく、エチレンオキシド単位を2~120個有するポリエチレンオキシド構造がより好ましい。特にエチレンオキシド単位を20~100個有するポリエチレンオキシド構造が好ましい。このようなポリアルキレンオキシド構造を有するポリマー微粒子によって、耐刷性と機上現像性を両立することができる。また、着肉性を向上させることができる。
このようなポリマー微粒子を構成するポリマーの具体例としては、エチレン、スチレン、塩化ビニル、アクリル酸メチル、アクリル酸エチル、メタクリル酸メチル、メタクリル酸エチル、塩化ビニリデン、アクリロニトリル、ビニルカルバゾール、ポリアルキレン構造を有するアクリレート又はメタクリレートなどのモノマーのホモポリマー若しくはコポリマー又はそれらの混合物を挙げることができる。その中で、より好適なものとして、ポリスチレン、スチレン及びアクリロニトリルを含む共重合体、ポリメタクリル酸メチルを挙げることができる。
本発明における画像記録層には、必要に応じて、更に他の成分を含有することができる。

更にその他の成分として、界面活性剤、着色剤、焼き出し剤、重合禁止剤、高級脂肪酸誘導体、可塑剤、無機微粒子、無機質層状化合物、及び共増感剤若しくは連鎖移動剤などを添加することができる。具体的には、特開2008-284817号公報の段落番号[0114]~[0159]、特開2006-091479号公報の段落番号[0023]~[0027]、米国特許公開2008/0311520号明細書[0060]に記載の化合物及び添加量が好ましい。
本発明における画像記録層は、例えば、特開2008-195018号公報の段落番号[0142]~[0143]に記載のように、必要な上記各成分を公知の溶剤に分散又は溶解して塗布液を調製し、これを支持体上にバーコーター塗布など公知の方法で塗布し、乾燥することで形成される。塗布、乾燥後に得られる支持体上の画像記録層塗布量(固形分)は、用途によって異なるが、一般的に0.3~3.0g/m2が好ましい。この範囲で、良好な感度と画像記録層の良好な皮膜特性が得られる。
本発明の平版印刷版原版は、画像記録層と支持体との間に下塗り層(中間層と呼ばれることもある)を設けることが好ましい。下塗り層は、露光部においては支持体と画像記録層との密着を強化し、未露光部においては画像記録層の支持体からのはく離を生じやすくさせるため、耐刷性を損なわず現像性を向上させるのに寄与する。また、赤外線レーザー露光の場合は、下塗り層が断熱層として機能することにより、露光により発生した熱が支持体に拡散して感度が低下するのを防ぐ。
下塗り層用の高分子樹脂は、質量平均モル質量が5000以上であるのが好ましく、1万~30万であるのがより好ましい。
本発明の平版印刷版原版に用いられる支持体としては、公知の支持体が用いられる。なかでも、公知の方法で粗面化処理され、陽極酸化処理されたアルミニウム板が好ましい。
また、上記アルミニウム板は必要に応じて、特開2001-253181号公報や特開2001-322365号公報に記載されている陽極酸化皮膜のマイクロポアの拡大処理や封孔処理、及び米国特許第2,714,066号、同第3,181,461号、同第3,280,734号及び同第3,902,734号の各明細書に記載されているようなアルカリ金属シリケートあるいは米国特許第3,276,868号、同第4,153,461号及び同第4,689,272号の各明細書に記載されているようなポリビニルホスホン酸などによる表面親水化処理を適宜選択して行うことができる。
支持体は、中心線平均粗さが0.10~1.2μmであるのが好ましい。
本発明の平版印刷版原版は、画像露光をした後、現像処理して製版される。現像処理は、機上現像又はpHが2~11の現像液を用いる現像で行うことが好ましい。以下、更に詳細に説明する。
平版印刷版原版は、線画像、網点画像等を有する透明原画を通してレーザー露光するかデジタルデータによるレーザー光走査等で画像様に露光される。
光源の波長は300~450nm又は750~1400nmが好ましく用いられる。300~450nmの光源の場合は、この波長領域に吸収極大を有する増感色素を画像記録層に含有する平版印刷版原版が好ましく用いられ、750~1400nmの光源の場合は、この波長領域に吸収を有する増感色素である赤外線吸収剤を画像記録層に含有する平版印刷版原版が好ましく用いられる。300~450nmの光源としては、半導体レーザーが好適である。750~1400nmの光源としては、赤外線を放射する固体レーザー及び半導体レーザーが好適である。赤外線レーザーに関しては、出力は100mW以上であることが好ましく、1画素当たりの露光時間は20マイクロ秒以内であるのが好ましく、また照射エネルギー量は10~300mJ/cm2であるのが好ましい。また、露光時間を短縮するためマルチビームレーザーデバイスを用いることが好ましい。露光機構は、内面ドラム方式、外面ドラム方式、フラットベッド方式等の何れでもよい。
画像露光は、プレートセッターなどを用いて常法により行うことができる。機上現像の場合には、平版印刷版原版を印刷機に装着した後、印刷機上で画像露光を行ってもよい。本発明において画像露光に用いられる光源としては、レーザーが好ましい。本発明に用いられるレーザーは、特に限定されないが、波長760~1200nmの赤外線を照射する固体レーザー及び半導体レーザーなどが好適に挙げられる。
赤外線レーザーに関しては、出力は100mW以上であることが好ましく、1画素当たりの露光時間は20マイクロ秒以内であるのが好ましく、また照射エネルギー量は10~300mJ/cm2であるのが好ましい。レーザーにおいては、露光時間を短縮するためマルチビームレーザーデバイスを用いるのが好ましい。
機上現像方法では、露光済み平版印刷版原版は現像処理工程を経ないでそのまま印刷機に装着する。その後、該印刷機を用い、印刷インキと湿し水とを供給してそのまま印刷することにより、印刷途上の初期の段階で、未露光領域の画像記録層が除去され、それに伴って親水性支持体表面が露出され非画像部が形成される。画像記録層の露光部においては、露光により硬化した画像記録層が、親油性表面を有するインキ受容部を形成する。その結果、湿し水は露出した親水性の表面に付着し、印刷インキは露光領域の画像記録層に着肉して印刷が開始される。
このようにして、本発明の平版印刷版原版はオフセット印刷機上で機上現像され、そのまま多数枚の印刷に用いられる。
アルカリ現像液を用いた通常の現像工程においては、前水洗工程によりオーバーコート層を除去し、次いでアルカリ現像を行い、後水洗工程でアルカリを水洗除去し、ガム液処理を行い、乾燥工程で乾燥するが、本発明の平版印刷版原版を用いてpH2~11の現像液で現像する場合は、オーバーコート層及び非露光部の画像記録層を一括除去した後、直ちに印刷機にセットして印刷することができる。このようなpH2~11の現像液は、現像液中に界面活性剤及び/又は不感脂化性の水溶性ポリマーを含有することにより、現像とガム液処理を同時に行うことができ、アルカリ現像後に行われていた後水洗工程は特に必要とせず、一液で現像とガム液処理を行ったのち、乾燥を行うことができる。乾燥は、現像及びガム処理の後に、スクイズローラを用いて余剰の現像液を除去した後、行うことが好ましい。すなわち、一液による現像・ガム処理-乾燥という大幅に簡略された処理工程(ガム現像)が可能となる。
本発明における現像は、常法に従って、液温0~60℃、好ましくは15~40℃で、画像露光した平版印刷版原版を、例えば、現像液に浸漬してブラシで擦る方法、スプレーにより現像液を吹き付けてブラシで擦る方法等により行う。
上記現像液に用いられる両性イオン系界面活性剤は、特に限定されず、アルキルジメチルアミンオキシドなどのアミンオキシド系、アルキルベタインなどのベタイン系、アルキルアミノ脂肪酸ナトリウムなどのアミノ酸系等が挙げられる。特に、置換基を有してもよいアルキルジメチルアミンオキシド、置換基を有してもよいアルキルカルボキシベタイン、置換基を有してもよいアルキルスルホベタインが好ましく用いられる。これらの具体例は、特開2008-203359号の段落番号[0255]~[0278]、特開2008-276166号の段落番号[0028]~[0052]等に記載されている。更に好ましい具体例としては、2-アルキル-N-カルボキシメチル-N-ヒドロキシエチルイミダゾリニウムベタイン、塩酸アルキルジアミノエチルグリシン、ラウリルジメチルアミノ酢酸ベタイン、N-ラウリン酸アミドプロピルジメチルベタイン、N-ラウリン酸アミドプロピルジメチルアミンオキシド等が挙げられる。
pH緩衝剤としては、pH2~11に緩衝作用を発揮する緩衝剤であれば特に限定なく用いることができる。本発明においては弱アルカリ性の緩衝剤が好ましく用いられ、例えば(a)炭酸イオン及び炭酸水素イオン、(b)ホウ酸イオン、(c)水溶性のアミン化合物及びそのアミン化合物のイオン、及びそれらの併用などが挙げられる。すなわち、例えば(a)炭酸イオン-炭酸水素イオンの組み合わせ、(b)ホウ酸イオン、又は(c)水溶性のアミン化合物-そのアミン化合物のイオンの組み合わせなどが、現像液においてpH緩衝作用を発揮し、現像液を長期間使用してもpHの変動を抑制でき、pHの変動による現像性低下、現像カス発生等を抑制できる。特に好ましくは、炭酸イオン及び炭酸水素イオンの組み合わせである。
現像液に含有する有機溶剤は、2種以上を併用することもできる。

1000mlの4つ口フラスコに撹拌機、温度計、滴下ロート、窒素導入管、還流冷却器を施し、窒素ガスを導入して脱酸素を行いつつ、ポリエチレングリコールメチルエーテルメタクリレート(PEGMA エチレングリコールの平均の繰返し単位は50)10g、蒸留水200g及びn-プロパノール200gを加えて内温が70℃となるまで加熱した。次に予め混合されたスチレン(St)10g、アクリロニトリル(AN)80g及び2,2’-アゾビスイソブチロニトリル0.8gの混合物を1時間かけて滴下した。滴下終了後5時間そのまま反応を続けた後、2,2’-アゾビスイソブチロニトリル0.4gを添加し、内温を80℃まで上昇させた。続いて、0.5gの2,2’-アゾビスイソブチロニトリルを6時間かけて添加した。合計で20時間反応させた段階でポリマー化は98%以上進行しており、質量比でPEGMA/St/AN=10/10/80のポリマー微粒子水分散液(1)が得られた。このポリマー微粒子の粒径分布は、粒子径150nmに極大値を有していた。
特定高分子樹脂の6質量%水溶液を、25℃で1週間静置した後、容器底に沈殿物がないかを目視観察して曇点以下での溶解性(液安定性)を評価した。
<機上現像による製版の場合>
得られた平版印刷版原版を赤外線半導体レーザー搭載の富士フイルム(株)製Luxel PLATESETTER T-6000IIIにて、外面ドラム回転数1000rpm、レーザー出力70%、解像度2400dpiの条件で露光した。露光画像にはベタ画像及び20μmドットFMスクリーンの50%網点チャートを含むようにした。
得られた露光済み原版を現像処理することなく、(株)小森コーポレーション製印刷機LITHRONE26の版胴に取り付けた。Ecolity-2(富士フイルム(株)製)/水道水=2/98(容量比)の湿し水とFusion-G(N)墨インキ(大日本インキ化学工業(株)製)とを用い、LITHRONE26の標準自動印刷スタート方法で湿し水とインキとを供給して機上現像した後、毎時10000枚の印刷速度で、特菱アート(76.5kg)紙に印刷を100枚行った。
機上現像性、インキ着肉性、耐刷性を下記のように評価した。結果を表4に示す。
画像記録層の未露光部の印刷機上での機上現像が完了し、非画像部にインキが転写しない状態になるまでに要した印刷用紙の枚数を機上現像性として計測した。
露光部である画像部のインキ濃度が、規定のインキ濃度に達するまでに要した印刷用紙の枚数をインキ着肉性として計測した。
上述した機上現像性の評価を行った後、更に印刷を続けた。印刷枚数を増やしていくと徐々に画像記録層が磨耗するため印刷物上のインキ濃度が低下した。印刷物におけるFMスクリーン50%網点の網点面積率をグレタグ濃度計で計測した値が印刷100枚目の計測値よりも5%低下したときの印刷部数を刷了枚数として耐刷性を評価した。
上記露光済み平版印刷版原版を用いて、100℃、30秒間のプレヒートを行った後、下記組成の現像液1を用い、図1に示すような構造の自動現像処理機にて現像処理を実施した。
ここで、自動現像処理機は、平版印刷版原版(以下「PS版」という。)4を現像する現像部6と、現像後のPS版4を乾燥する乾燥部10とを備えている。自動現像処理機の側板には挿入口が形成されており(図1左側部分)、挿入口から挿入されたPS版4は、自動現像処理機の側板の内側面に設けられた搬入ローラ16により現像部6へ搬送される。現像部6の現像槽20内には、搬送方向上流側から順に、搬送ローラ22、ブラシローラ24、スクイズローラ26が備えられ、これらの間の適所にバックアップローラ28が備えられている。PS版4は搬送ローラ22により搬送されながら現像液中を浸漬されてブラシローラ24を回転させることによりPS版4のオーバーコート層及び画像記録層未露光部の除去を行って現像処理される。現像処理されたPS版4はスクイズローラ(搬出ローラ)26により次の乾燥部10へ搬送される。
乾燥部10は、搬送方向上流側から順に、ガイドローラ36、一対の串ローラ38が設けられている。また、乾燥部10には図示しない温風供給手段、発熱手段等の乾燥手段が設けられている。乾燥部10には排出口が設けられ、乾燥手段により乾燥されたPS版4は排出されて、PS版に対する自動現像装処理が完了する。実施例で使用した自動現像処理機は、ポリブチレンテレフタレート製の繊維(毛の直径200μm、毛の長さ17mm)を植え込んだ外径50mmのブラシローラを1本有し、搬送方向と同一方向に毎分200回転(ブラシの先端の周速0.52m/sec)させた。現像液の温度は30℃であった。平版印刷版原版の搬送は、搬送速度100cm/minで行った。現像処理後、乾燥部にて乾燥を行った。乾燥温度は80℃であった。
各々の平版印刷版について上記の通り印刷を行い、1000枚目の印刷物において、非画像部の汚れによる平網画像のムラ(インキ濃度のムラ)を評価した。平網画像にインキ濃度ムラがある場合:×、平網画像にインキ濃度ムラがあるが許容レベルの場合:△、わずかに平網画像にインキ濃度ムラがあるが十分に許容レベルの場合:○ 平網画像にインキ濃度ムラがなく、良好な画像が得られた場合:◎、○と◎の間のレベルを◎~○と評価した。
上記の通り各々の平版印刷版原版を500m2現像処理した際に、自動現像機の槽壁に付着したカスの発生状況を目視観察した。発生したカスは、主としてオーバーコート層のバインダーに起因するものである。カスの発生がない場合:○、許容レベルの場合:△、カス発生が顕著な場合:×と評価した。
作製した平版印刷版原版表面を半径4.0mmφのサファイア針を持つ引掻き試験機にて200gの荷重をかけて引掻きを行い、その後、上記の通り、露光、現像、印刷して正常な印刷画像が形成されうるかを評価した。オーバーコート層の強度が不足している場合には、オーバーコート層に傷が生じ、酸素遮断性が不十分となったり、オーバーコート層と共に画像記録層が削り取られ、引っ掻いた部分で画像形成性が不良となる。画像形成が完全である場合に◎、わずかに一部に画像形成に劣る部分がある場合に○、許容レベルの場合△、不良な場合を×、○と◎の間のレベルを◎~○と評価した。
