Abstract

A method and apparatus are provided for photoelectrochemical reproduction of an image on a plate or roller. For a printing press, the apparatus includes a reusable image roller coated with a oxide semiconductor. A plating solution is applied to the image roller as a thin film. The desired image is written onto the oxide semiconductor by light illumination that generates a photoelectrochemical reaction between the semiconductor and the plating solution.
In a preferred embodiment, the image roller is coated with hydrophilic p-type NiO. The image is written onto the roller as dots of oleophilic metallic copper, which are formed on the NiO
coating by laser-generated catholic photoelectrodeposition. Subsequent erasure of the metallic copper image can be accomplished by chemical or electrochemical dissolution of the deposited copper. The method functions to create, erase, and recreate high-resolution images directly on a printing press roller without the necessity of precise matrix registration.
