Activating printing plates using infrared radiation, by employing rubified carbon emitters

摘要

The infrared radiation is generated rubified carbon emitter. The activation takes place at 90 to 140 degrees C, preferably at 104 to 140 degrees C. Two or more rubified carbon emitters may be used. The rubification causes wavelengths above 600 nm to be absorbed. Independent claims are also included for a carbon tape emitter for performing the method, and for a quartz glass tube or rod for use as a carbon emitter.
