Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is related to lithographic printing plate preparation. This invention involves an electrically inscribable lithographic printing blank that features two lithographic layers of complementary character. It also includes a solid but solvent-removable protective surface layer that inhibits spurious abrasion of the underlying layer during inscription and prior handling. The process involves passing an electric current between the blank and an electrical stylus to inscribe through the protective layer, exposing the underlying layer, which is then treated with solvent to remove the protective layer.
