Title: Takeo Kadoi: Innovator in Electrophotographic Technology
Introduction
Takeo Kadoi is a prominent inventor based in Tokyo, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of electrophotography, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on improving the quality and efficiency of printing processes.
Latest Patents
One of Kadoi's latest patents is a printing plate for the electrophotographic process comprising trisazo. This invention discloses a printing plate that includes an electroconductive support and a photosensitive layer. The photosensitive layer is formed by incorporating a trisazo pigment, along with perynone and anthanthrone pigments as photoconductive substances, and an electron donor substance as a sensitizer in an alkali-soluble binder resin. This innovative printing plate exhibits high sensitivity and produces high-quality images without contamination in the non-image areas.
Another notable patent is a process for preparing a lithographic printing plate and eluting solution. This eluting solution is designed to remove the non-image area of an electrophotographic printing plate that has a toner image formed and fixed on it. The solution is an aqueous mixture containing at least an alkali chelating agent, which helps expose a hydrophilic substrate or a substrate that can be rendered hydrophilic.
