Systems and methods for facilitating oil delivery in digital offset lithographic printing techniques

A digital lithographic image forming device for forming lithographic images on substrates, comprising:

• an imaging member, comprising:
• a structural member layer;
• at least one reimageable imaging surface layer, the at least one reimageable imaging surface layer being semi-permeable;
• and
• at least one releasing agent reservoir layer, the at least one releasing agent reservoir layer being sandwiched between the structural member layer and the at least one reimageable imaging surface layer, and being configured to store a releasing agent and to supply the releasing agent to an imaging surface of the at least one reimageable imaging surface layer,
• the supply of releasing agent on the reimageable surface promoting ink transfer from the reimageable surface to a substrate, and
• the releasing agent being one of Trifluoropropylmethylcyclotrisiloxane (D3F), and Trifluoropropylmethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4F);
• a cleaning device that cleans the imaging surface of the at least one reimageable imaging surface layer;
• a dampening device that dampens the imaging surface of the at least one reimageable imaging surface layer with a layer of dampening solution;
• a digital data patterning device that forms a digital pattern in the layer of dampening solution on the imaging surface of the at least one reimageable imaging surface layer;
• an inking subsystem that applies ink to the digital pattern formed on the imaging surface of the at least one reimageable imaging structure surface layer to produce an inked image;
• and
• an impression roller that applies a pressure in a direction of the at least one reimageable imaging surface layer to form a nip between the impression roller and the imaging member.
