Abstract

La présente invention concerne un matériau de plaque lithographique pour imagerie directe au laser. Ce matériau, qui présente une couche impressionnable par illumination au laser pulsé, est constitué d'une matrice d'un polymère thermoplastique à bande d'absorption dans l'ultraviolet, et de particules en dispersion dans la matrice. La couche impressionnable est caractérisée par une excellente qualité du rendu d'impression. Ce matériau de plaque lithographique pour imagerie directe au laser présente un excellent coefficient de rétention de l'eau dans une partie de la surface de la couche impressionnable qui a été illuminée par le laser, ce qui évite largement les phénomènes de graissage sur le support imprimé.
