Method of controlling image resolution on a substrate

摘要

A method of preparing a printing plate for printing comprises applying a fluid composition by ink jetting to a substrate, and thereafter curing the fluid applied to the substrate. The fluid composition is jetted onto the substrate at a jetting temperature T2. The substrate is at a temperature Ts. The viscosity of the fluid composition at temperature Ts is about at least 300 times greater than the fluid's viscosity at temperature T2. The invention minimizes the dot spreading which otherwise occurs when a substrate is imaged via ink jetting to prepare a printing plate.
