Abstract
There is provided a lipophobicating solution for electrophotographic plates for offset printing which comprises (a) phytic acid, (b) two or more dicarboxylic acids selected from those represented by the formula HOOC--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --COOH (where n is 1 to 6) and phthalic acid, (c) water, and (d) a pH adjustor. This lipophobicating solution does not cause scumming and its effect lasts for a long period of time.
Claims18
A lipophobicating solution for an electrophotographic plate for offset printing, comprising:
- (a) an effective amount of phytic acid to prevent oily ink from sticking to nonimage areas of said electrographic plate;
- (c) at least about 60 mol % by weight, compared to said phytic acid, of a mixture of two or more dicarboxylic acids selected from those represented by the formula HOOC--(CH.sub.2).sub.n --COOH (where n is 1 to 6) and phthalic acid;
- (c) water;
- and
- (d) a basic salt as a pH adjustor.
