Analysis of tests of modern materials that are not intended for the creation of lithographic printing plates

The possibilities of reproducing an artistic image on a printing lithographic plate based on a lithographic stone with the help of modern materials that are used to apply an image onto a lithographic plate are considered. The reproduction of the stroke and the transfer of the tonality of the image are analyzed step by step — from applying the image on the stone to obtaining an imprint. The use of various non-traditional materials on various bases is studied. The sequence of working with these materials and the peculiarities of formative processes are described. The studied materials are available on the market of Ukraine and are quite budget-friendly. Important aspects of the use of modern materials in lithography and their advantages compared to traditional methods are carefully considered.

In particular, specific examples of the use of such materials, their difference from traditional ones, as well as their impact on the quality and durability of lithographic imprints are considered. The research contributes to a better understanding of the possibilities that are opened by using the latest materials in the process of creating lithographic plates. The technical characteristics of each material, their properties and possible limitations are considered in detail, which will help draw attention to the scientific and practical aspects of the research. The prospects of using these materials in the future are also considered, including the possibility of improving technologies and production processes of lithographic printing plates. In particular, the impact of modern materials on the environmental aspects of lithography is considered, and their compliance with environmental standards is determined. Economic aspects of the use of the latest materials in the production of lithographic imprints are also taken into account, in particular, their cost, availability and the possibility of cost optimization. The advantages and disadvantages of using different materials in lithography are determined and optimal strategies for their use in the production of lithographic plates are developed.
