Abstract
Abstract A driographic plate capable of being direct imaged by pen, pencil, typewriter, toner powder, etc. comprising a substrate having a coating thereon, the coating comprising a continuous medium having a solid fluorinated compound containing at least one fluorinated aliphatic radical uniformly dispersed therethrough in a manner such that the coating surface is ink repellent when dry. On direct imaging, the imaged areas will readily accept ink and prints can be made therefrom without necessity of a press dampening system.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
An article capable of providing a driographic printing plate which can be direct imaged, comprising a substrate having a coating on at least one surface thereof, said coating comprising a fused particulate binder compound characterized by high surface energy and easy wettability when exposed to printing ink having a solid, at less than 100° F, heat-softenable fluorinated compound uniformly dispersed therethrough in a manner such that the surface of said coating is oleo ink repellent when dry; said fluorinated compound containing at least one fluorinated aliphatic radical therein having at least one terminal perfluoromethyl group, said coating containing no material serving to flow at ordinary image-marking temperatures to heal image-marked areas therein.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
112 words
An article capable of providing a driographic printing plate which can be direct imaged, comprising a substrate having a coating on at least one surface thereof, said coating comprising a fused particulate binder compound characterized by high surface energy and easy wettability when exposed to printing ink having a solid, at less than 100° F, heat-softenable fluorinated compound uniformly dispersed therethrough in a manner such that the surface of said coating is oleo ink repellent when dry; said fluorinated compound containing at least one fluorinated aliphatic radical therein having at least one terminal perfluoromethyl group, said coating containing no material serving to flow at ordinary image-marking temperatures to heal image-marked areas therein.
