Abstract
A very simple and easy method for preparing dry planographic printing plates having a high printing performance and durability in the absence of dampening water is proposed. The method comprises the steps of (a) coating one surface of substrate which is transparent to ultraviolet light with an uncured photocurable silicone, (b) bringing the thus coated surface into direct contact with a surface of a base plate to form a laminate, (c) providing on the other surface of the substrate an image pattern made of a material which is opaque to ultraviolet light, (d) irradiating the laminate with ultraviolet light from above the image pattern and (e) separating the substrate from the base plate to allow a portion of the photocured silicone coating to transfer to the surface of the base plate, and a portion of the uncured silicone coating to stay in situ on the surface of the substrate.
