Abstract

See full text

Aqueous alkaline developing compositions useful in the development of negative-working lithographic printing plates are comprised of an organic solvent, an anionic surface active agent, an alkali metal tetraborate, an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid, an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, an alkali metal citrate, a poly(alkylene glycol), an alkali metal salt of an hydroxylated aromatic carboxylic or sulfonic acid and sufficient alkaline buffering system to provide an alkaline pH. The developing composition is resistant to oxidation, highly effective in dissolution-type processing, able to effectively desensitize the background areas of the printing plate, and capable of preventing excessive deposits in a processing machine and rapidly redissolving deposits that do form.
