Definitions
- the object of the present invention is to provide a universal type treating solution for planographic printing plates made that can be used for making hydrophilic the aforementioned printing plates of various types of materials.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hydrophilic treating solution for use in offset printing for the purpose of making hydrophilic the non-image areas of both offset printing plates having a paper support and offset type planographic printing plates having a metal or plastic or other support. The hydrophilic treating solution referred to in this invention also involves what is called a fountain solution for use in offset printing which is obtained by diluting the aforementioned treating solution.
2. Description of the Prior Art Offset type planographic printing plates have been widely developed under various types and so have many kinds of compositions to make their plate materials. For instance, when an offset printing plate is utilized in which the image is produced by electrophotography, a layer consisting of a resin binder dispersed with zinc oxide is formed over the surface of a support when a printing plate is utilized in which an image is produced on the surface of its support by means of xerography and a printing plate is utilized in which an image is produced directly on its support, a layer consisting of a hydrophilic colloidal matter, clay, etc. is formed on the surface of a support and the layer is set up for hardening by submitting same to an aftertreatment with an aqueous solution which contains metallic salts-Such plates that are prepared by forming a diazotype light-sensitive layer upon the surface of a support such as paper, metal plate and plastic sheet treated with aforementioned hardening set up are also widely known. It is generally believed that if the materials which compose the surface of printing plates are different treating solutions should be used in order to make the non-image areas on the surfaces of said printing plates hydrophilic depending on the type of the respective layer composition used in preparing the printing plates. At the present, there are commercially available various types of treating solutions for planographic printing plates having special formulations in order to function effectively with the compositions of the surfaces of the respective types of printing plates.
However, when several types of printing plates made of different materials are to be used for printing on one offset type planographic printing machine, the treating solutions have to be changed, much to the inconvenience of the users, so that the succeeding treating solution will meet the requirements of the succeeding printing plate.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a universal type treating solution for planographic printing plates made that can be used for making hydrophilic the aforementioned printing plates of various types of materials. Therefore, when the treating solution which is prepared according to the present invention is used in offset printing, it completely avoids the necessity of changing the treating solutions, which has been a conventional practice followed when a printing plate of different type from the previous one is to be used on the printing machine.
The inventors have successfully accomplished the object of this invention by finding that a treating solution consisting essentially of an aqueous solution containing three components i.e., heteropoly-acid, ironcyano-complex and phosphate, has general purpose performances. The invention is the result of experimental research work in which various types of compositions were prepared to make treating solutions of many kinds and determining how successfully each of them coact with the respective printing plates that are made of different kinds of materials.
A treating solution according to the present invention should accordingly contain the following three components in order. to make hydrophilic the nonimage areas on the surface of said printing plates made of various types of plate materials.
As for the first of the indispensable components, namely, iron-cyano-complex, iron-cyano-complexes of ammonium and iron-cyano-complexes of alkali metals are best suited for the purpose and, for instance, ammonium ferrocyanide, ammonium ferricyanide, sodium ferrocyanide, sodium ferricyanide, potassium ferrocyanide and potassium ferricyanide are used.
As for the second of said components, namely, heteropolyacid, there are used any of such heteropoly acids that are water soluble and contain water of crystallization in large quantities and are stable enough not to be decomposed in an acid solution. For instance, heteropoly-acids such as phosphomolybdic phosphotungsted and phosphovanodic acids are suitable for the purpose. In this invention, these heteropoly-acids can be used as salts of alkali metals such as sodium and potassium, or ammonium salts. Also, sodium molybdate and sodium tungstate can be used. Furthermore, salts which are expressed by the general formula such as 2(M) O'P O '5MoO 'nl-I,O (wherein, M is selected from the group consisting of Na, K and N14,, and n is whole number in the range of 2-22), are applicable in this invention. These heteropoly-acids have a property to solidify proteins such as gelatin, casein and albumen. A treating solution which contains any of these heteropoly-acids, therefore, when used for plate materials which have a printing surface containing a protein, not only increases the strength of the layer physically as well as mechanically but also improves its printing quality and lengthens its printing life, and also contributes to give the image-areas formed on the plate surface a water-repellent property.
As for phosphates, the third of said components, all phosphates are usable for the present invention so far as they are water soluble; however, alkali metal salts and ammonium salts such as disodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, diammonium hydrogen phosphate, and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate are the most suitable ones.
The treating solutions according to the present invention contain from about 0.5 to about 20 percent by weight of at least one iron-cyano-complex selected from among the aforementioned various kinds of ironcyano-complexes, from about 0.05 to about 10 percent by weight of at least one heteropoly-acid selected from among the heteropoly-acids and from about 1.0 to about 20 percent by weight of at least one phosphate 3 selected from among the phosphates, the balance, apart from impurities, being water. In addition to the aforementioned three components, it is advisable in the present invention to'use at least one compound selected from among such hydrophilic colloidal materials as gum arabic, sodium alginate, ester of alginic acid and propylene glycol, propylene glycol, carboxymethyl cellulose, dextrin, polyacrylic acid and glycerine.
Therefore, the present invention is also featured in providing a treating solution consisting essentially of an aqueous solution containing the three components i.e., iron-cyano-complex, heteropoly-acid and phosphates,
and from about 1.0 to about 20 percent by weight of at least one hydrophilic colloidal material selected from among the aforementioned hydrophilic colloidal materials.
lt is important that the concentration of each of the components is within the specified ranges, one or other of the desired properties falling off if the concentration of any of them is outside the limits set forth above.
When the concentration of each of iron-cyanocomplex and heteropoly-acid in the treating solution is in excess of the respective maximum of the aforementioned ranges, it tends to bring about the defect that the printing ink is absorbed even onto the non-image areas outside the image areas of the printing plate, while when the concentration is below the minimum of said range, it tends to bring about the defect that a sufficient quantity of printing ink is hardly absorbed onto the image, areas of the printing plate.
The concentration of the phosphate in the treating solution must also be within said range, and when the phosphate concentration above the maximum of said range is used, it tends to bring about the defect that a sufficient quantity of printing ink is hardly adsorbed onto the image areas of printing plate, while when the concentration is below the minimum of said range, it tends to bring about the defect that the printing ink is adsorbed even onto the non-image areas outside the image areas of printing plate.
The hydrophilic colloidal materials in the present invention contribute greatly to the improvement of the hydrophilic effect of the treating solution.
When the concentration of hydrophilic colloidal materials in the treating solution is less than 1.0 percent, the effect resulting from the addition of such materials is limited only to an extremely small extent. In other words, since the treating solution according to the present invention per se possesses, without containing such materials, a function enough to make the non-image areas hydrophilic, it is difficult to observe an effect to be brought about by addition of small amounts of these materials. When the contents of such materials in the treating solution are more than 20 percent, on the other hand, there can be observed a tendency to cause insufficient adhesion of ink to the image areas.
Taking into consideration the relation between the concentration and the effect of the respective components as aforesaid, it will be most preferable in the present invention that the concentration of each component lies within the range as given below.
lron-cyano-complex: from about 0.5 to about 10 percent by weight Heteropoly-acid: from about 0.05 to about 5 percent by weight Phosphate: from about L0 to about percent by weight Hydrophilic colloidal material: from about 1.0 to about 10 percent by weight When a treating solution composed of the aforementioned components according to this invention is used to treat printing plates, it can be used to make hydrophilic printing plates of various types of plate materials and in printing, the printing ink shows a good lay and satisfactory printing results can be obtained from the very beginning of the printing. While heightening the hydrophilic effect of the non-image area of printing plates, the treating solution improves the waterrepellent property of the image areas, and also improves the lay of ink in the solid areas, which problem has heretofore been encountered in case of offset printing plates prepared by electrophotography, and pos sesses the advantage of improving the printing quality of the plates. Other merits are that this treating solution and a fountain solution prepared by diluting this treating solution can be used satisfactorily on the offset press equipped with an automatic etching device, and that since it is not necessary to change the treating solution even when the printing plates are changed, this treating solution contributes much to the saving of time in printing operations.

The lay of the ink on the plate was very good. As for a fountain solution, part of the treating solution having the abovementioned components was used after it was diluted with water at the ratio of 1:20.
