| Summary: | This invention relates to imaging members and their preparation by imagewise application of a fluid to a clay-containing fluid receiving element. The invention also relates to a method of using the imaging members for lithdgraphic printing.
A lithographic imaging member is prepared by applying an ink jetable fluid to a fluid-receiving element that includes a clay-containing fluid-receiving surface layer. This layer also includes a water-soluble binder and a silane hardening agent. The applied fluid is an aqueous solution of a silane having multiple hydroxy, alkoxy or acetoxy groups that is readily absorbed in the clay-containing surface, and dried to provide an oleophilic image. |
