A kit for making a relief image that includes a film made of an infrared-imageable material and a separate imageable article comprising a photosensitive material disposed on a substrate. The film may be used to form a mask image that is opaque to a curing radiation by exposing the infrared-imageable material to infrared radiation. The mask image may then be transferred to the photosensitive material. The resulting assembly may be exposed to the curing radiation resulting in exposed and unexposed areas of the photosensitive material. Finally, the photosensitive material and mask image may be developed with a suitable developer to form a relief image. |

A system for photolithography may include an exposure chamber providing a first isolated environment, an exposure stage in the exposure chamber, a radiation source, an interface chamber providing a second isolated environment, a port, a post exposure bake heater in the interface chamber, and a wafer handler. The exposure stage may be configured to receive a wafer having photoresist thereon to be exposed, and the radiation source may be configured to provide exposing radiation to the wafer being exposed. The port may be configured to allow wafer transport between the first and second isolated environments of the exposure and interface chambers, and the post exposure bake heater may be configured to bake the wafer after exposure. The wafer handler may be configured to move the wafer from the interface chamber through the port into the exposure chamber before exposure, to move the wafer from the exposure chamber through the port to the interface chamber after exposure, and to move the wafer to the post exposure bake heater after moving the wafer from the exposure chamber. Moreover, at least one of a photoresist coating unit and/or a photoresist developing unit may be excluded from the first and second isolated environments of the exposure and interface chambers.

The invention provides a photopolymer package for use in making a hand stamp plate, the package consisting of a sachet containing a photocurable liquid polymer, the walls of the sachet being formed of material capable of being released from the cured photopolymer. Methods for the formation of the package and the hand stamp plate are also provided. The invention eliminates the requirement for the use of a backing layer in the package and thereby offers significant advantages over the prior art in terms of cost and efficiency. The invention describes how that sachet can be inserted in a holding device to expose it to UV radiation to produce the printed surface. The invention describes a novel method for spraying the sachet with a liquid to enable it to be dry post-exposed in a new type of exposure unit. It describes how this exposure unit benefits from the simplicity of the sachet concept to require no movable upper lid. This unit combines the post exposure process with the exposure process without the requirement for a water bath. |

An interleaving paper for laser exposable radiation sensitive planographic printing plate precursors having a radiation sensitive layer is disclosed. The interleaving paper has a stiffness of 100 g or higher and a stiffness per unit thickness of 2.0 g/nullm or higher. The interleaving paper can be easily removed by an automatic interleaving paper releasing machine. The printing plate precursor can be made efficiently, even when the interleaving paper is placed directly on the radiation sensitive layer of a laser exposable radiation sensitive planographic printing plate precursor that does not have a mat layer formed thereon. The interleaving paper can also be manufactured at a lower cost. Use of the interleaving paper makes it possible to reduce the distribution cost of the printing plate precursors. |

A metallic foil is laminated to a transparent substrate with a photopolymerizable adhesive. An outer layer of photoresist is used in etching a pattern in the foil. The etched foil itself is then used as a resist in the complete removal of the uncovered portions of the adhesive, leaving the transparency of the revealed substrate material totally unimpaired. Finally, the remaining adhesive is hardened by polymerization resulting from exposure to ultraviolet light passed through the substrate from the unlaminated side. |

A method of bonding laminations of a magnetic core is disclosed in which photo-resist material consisting of a co-polymer is applied as a film to a sheet of magnetic material to define lamination shapes to enable the laminations to be formed by etching. The film of photo-resist material on the laminations is then utilized to bond the laminations together in a stack. In order to permit the core to operate at temperatures higher than the softening temperature of the photo-resist material, the bonded stack is irradiated to cause changes to the bonding material such that the material does not soften at the operating temperature of the core. |

Heat-sealable laminates useful as packaging materials, for example, for the packaging of photographic processing chemicals, are comprised of a layer of metal foil, an outer heat-sealable layer of a radiation-cured and heat-fused polymeric composition, and a radiation-cured chemically-resistant polymeric interlayer between the foil and the outer layer. The laminates are manufactured by coating a metal foil with a radiation-curable composition that is capable of forming a chemically-resistant layer upon radiation curing, irradiating the coating to cure it, overcoating with a radiation-curable composition such as a vinyl plastisol that is capable of forming a heat-sealable layer upon radiation curing, irradiating the overcoat to cure it, and heating the laminate to fuse the overcoat layer. |
