A flexible supported lithographic printing plate having improved printing endurance.

摘要

The present invention provides a lithographic printing plate comprising on a first side of a flexible support a surface differentiated in oleophilic and oleophobic areas and on a second side opposite to said first side a layer comprising micro-particles of pressure-sensitive adhesive. The present invention also provides a lithographic printing plate precursor comprising on a first side of a flexible support a surface capable of being differentiated in oleophilic and oleophobic areas upon imaging and on a second side opposite to said first side a layer comprising micro-particles of pressure-sensitive adhesive covered with a protective stripping layer. The obtained printing plates practically show no stretching when mounted on a printing press under tension nor is there any stretching during the printing process itself.
