Production of support for lithographic printing plate
First Claim
1. A process for the manufacture of a substrate for use in the production of lithographic printing plates, said process comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing an aluminum substrate;
(b) graining at least one surface of said substrate;
(c) applying an anodic layer to said at least one grained surface;
(d) treating said at least one grained and anodized surface with an aqueous solution comprising at least one salt of a metal from Group IB, IIB, IVA, IVB, VB, VIA, VIB, VIIB or VIII of the Periodic Table; and
(e) treating said at least one treated surface with an aqueous solution comprising at least one orthophosphate salt of an alkali metal.
