Abstract
A method of on-press development of a lithographic printing plate having an imaged photosensitive (PS) coating by (a) applying an emulsive film of press ink and fountain onto the entire PS coating; (b) transferring all nonimage areas of the inked PS coating and all of the ink film on the nonimage areas of the PS coating from the plate to a blanket roll while the image areas of the PS coating remain on the substrate, wherein the nonimage areas are transferred to the blanket roll in particulate form without dissolution or dispersion in any ink or fountain; and (c) contacting the blanket roll with a paper leader to further transfer all the ink, fountain water, and particles of nonimage PS coating that were transferred to the blanket roll, from the blanket roll to the paper leader.
