ABSTRACT:
A developing fluid for positive-acting, negative-acting and reversible lithographic printing plates comprises a metasilicate as alkali together with an ethylene oxide/propylene oxide block copolymer and, optionally, sodium tetraborate, a phosphate ester, and anti-foaming agent and a water-softening or sequestering agent. The fluid has a high alkali content for reducing the need for frequent replenishment while at the same time minimizing damage to the image particularly in negative and reversed plates and avoiding unacceptable foaming and turbidity.
