Abstract:Printing is one of the industries that have great impact on China's economy. At present, laser typesetting technology, a technology that relies on photosensitive materials, still takes a leading position in China's printing industry. The laser typesetting technology requires complex processes such as sensitization, development, photographic fixing, and chemical washing process, which result in the high cost and time-consuming problems, as well as serious environmental pollution. In order to reduce pollution, a green plate making technology based on nano-materials has been developed. The plate making process is to jet the nano-composite transfer printing materials on super hydrophilic print plate with special nano and micro-structures. As the technology avoids exposing and development processes, thus has advantages of being environment friendly, cost effective and processes conveniently. In this paper, the research and Industrialization progress of the technology are summarized.
