The present invention relates to a method for preparing an aluminum
foil suitable for use as a support for an imaging element for making a printing
plate according to the silver salt diffusion transfer process.
More specifically the invention is related to a method for preparing
an aluminum foil suitable for use as a support for an imaging element for making
a printing plate according to the silver salt diffusion transfer process which
has improved coating properties.
The principles of the silver complex diffusion transfer reversal
process, hereinafter called DTR-process, have been described e.g. in
US-P- 2 352 014 and in the book "Photographic Silver Halide Diffusion Processes"
by André Rott and Edith Weyde - The Focal Press - London and New York, (1972).
In the DTR-process non-developed silver halide of an information-wise
exposed photographic silver halide emulsion layer material is transformed with
a so-called silver halide solvent into soluble silver complex compounds which are
allowed to diffuse into an image receiving element and are reduced therein with
a developing agent, generally in the presence of physical development nuclei, to
form a silver image having reversed image density values ("DTR-image") with respect
to the black silver image obtained in the exposed areas of the photographic material.
A DTR-image bearing material can be used as a planographic printing
plate wherein the DTR-silver image areas form the water-repellent ink-receptive
areas on a water-receptive ink-repellent background.
The DTR-image can be formed in the image receiving layer of a sheet
or web material which is a separate element with respect to the photographic silver
halide emulsion material (a so-called two-sheet DTR element) or in the image receiving
layer of a so-called single-support-element, also called mono-sheet element, which
contains at least one photographic silver halide emulsion layer integral with
an image receiving layer in waterpermeable relationship therewith. It is the latter
mono-sheet version which is preferred for the preparation of offset printing plates
by the DTR method.
Two main types of mono-sheet DTR materials that are distinct because
of their different layer arrangement and processing are known. The first type of
mono-sheet DTR material comprises on a support, generally paper or a resin support
such as polyester, in the order given a silver halide emulsion layer and an image
receiving layer containing physical development nuclei as a surface layer. After
information-wise exposure and development according to the DTR process a silver
image is formed in the surface layer. Since the underlying layers are hydrophilic
in nature and the silver image formed on the surface is hydrophobic or can be renderred
hydrophobic the thus obtained plate can be used without further processing. These
type of printing plates have a low printing endurance typically around 10000 copies.
On the other hand mono-sheet DTR materials are known that comprise
a hydrophilic support provided with an image receiving layer containing physical
development nuclei and on top thereof a silver halide emulsion layer. After information-wise
exposure and development according to the DTR-process a silver image is formed
in the image receiving layer. In order to obtain a lithographic printing plate
it will then be necessary to remove the now useless silver halide emulsion layer
to expose the silver image formed in the image receiving layer. Said removal is
generally carried out by rinsing the element with cold or warm water. This type
of printing plate is disclosed in e.g. EP-A- 278 766, EP-A- 483 415 and
As a preferred support for the latter type of printing plates a roughened
and anodized aluminum foil is used and high printing endurances can in principal
be obtained. Such type of supports are well known for preparing printing plates
using an imaging element having as a light sensitive coating photopolymers (hereinafter
called PS-plates) instead of silver halide and are disclosed in e.g.
085 950, US-P- 3 935 080 and US-P- 4 052 275.
However the requirements imposed on the aluminum foils for use as
supports for PS-plates are different from the requirements imposed on the aluminum
foils for use in the silver salt diffusion transfer process. Indeed, commonly employed
aluminum foils as supports for PS-plates are not suited for preparing printing
plates according to the silver salt diffusion transfer process.
In order to obtain printing plates according to the DTR process having
good printing properties i.e. good ink acceptance in the image areas, no ink acceptance
in the non-image areas called staining or toning and high printing endurances it
is required that the adhesion of the image receiving layer containing the physical
development nuclei and the other layers to the aluminum foil is overall firm.
Recently is has been observed that during the coating with the different layers
tiny air-bubbles are formed on the aluminum support. This results after development
in white spots in the image areas (the exposed areas) and in dark spots in the
form of a horseshoe (furtheron called horseshoes) in the non-imaging areas. Plates
with these defaults, which have a diameter of 0.1 to 1 mm yield print of low quality.
So, a solution for said defaults is required.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an aluminum based
mono-sheet DTR material for preparing a lithographic printing plate having good
printing properties.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an aluminum
based monosheet DTR material which shows after image-wise exposure and development
no white spots on the image areas and no horseshoes in the non-image areas.
Further objects of the present invention will be clear from the description
According to the present invention there is provided a method for
preparing a silver complex diffusion transfer reversal material comprising a grained
and anodized aluminum foil as support and a photosensitive silver halide emulsion
coating, characterized in that said grained and anodized aluminum foil is corona
treated in a corona station comprising a roller and at least one electrode, that
has been coated with a dielectric coating before said foil is coated by a photosensitive
Corona treating is a very effective way to increase the surface tension
of virtually any material. The result after corona treatment is a surface that
is unchanged to the naked eye. The material being treated is exposed to an electrical
discharge, or "corona". Oxygen molecules within the discharge area break into
their atomic form and are free to bond to the ends of the molecules in the material
being treated, resulting in a chemically activated surface.
There can be used one corona station, but preferably more stations
are used, each comprising one roller and one or more electrodes. The electrodes
of the corona are coated with a ceramic or more preferentially with quartz. The
frequency of the high voltages electrodes range from 3 kHz to 100 kHz, more preferably
from 5 to 50 kHz. Preferably the frequency of the last electrode is smaller than
those of the other conducting ground rollers. The specific power of at least one
corona ranges from 10 to 500 Watt.min/m2, more preferably from 50 to
250 Watt.min/m2. The time span between the corona treatment and the
coating with photosensitive layer is preferably less than 30 seconds, more preferably
less than 15 seconds. The minimum time span is not so important but is for practical
reasons preferably at least 1 second.
The present invention provides an imaging element comprising in the
order given on a grained and anodized side of an aluminum support (i) an image
receiving layer containing physical development nuclei, (ii) a photosensitive layer
containing a silver halide emulsion being in water permeable relationship with
said image receiving layer and (iii) optional an antistress layer being in water
permeable relationship with said image receiving layer comprising unhardened gelatin.
The aluminum support of the imaging element for use in accordance
with the present invention can be made of pure aluminum or of an aluminum alloy,
the aluminum content of which is at least 95%. The thickness of the support usually
ranges from about 0.13 to about 0.50 mm.
Preferably the aluminum foil has a roughness with a CLA value between
0.2 and 1.5 µm and an anodization layer with a thickness between 0.4 and 2.0 µm.
Graining and anodization of the foil are necessary to obtain a lithographic
printing plate that allows to produce high-quality prints in accordance with the
present invention. Sealing is not necessary but may still improve the printing
results. Preferably the aluminum support has 500 or more pits per 100 mm2, diameters
of the pits being 0.03 to 0.30 mm and an average diameter of the pits being 0.05
to 0.20mm. Preferably the aluminum foil has a roughness with a CLA value between
0.2 and 1.5 mm, an anodization layer with a thickness between 0.4 and 2.0 mm and
is posttreated with an aqueous bicarbonate solution.
According to the present invention the roughening of the aluminum
foil can be performed according to the methods well known in the prior art. The
surface of the aluminum substrate can be roughened either by mechanical, chemical
or electrochemical graining or by a combination of these to obtain a satisfactory
adhesiveness of a silver halide emulsion layer to the aluminum support and to
provide a good water retention property to the areas that will form the non-printing
areas on the plate surface.
The electrochemical graining process is preferred because it can
form a uniform surface roughness having a large average surface area with a very
fine and even grain which is commonly desired when used for lithographic printing
The roughening is preferably preceded by a degreasing treatment mainly
for removing greasy substances from the surface of the aluminum foil.
Therefore the aluminum foil may be subjected to a degreasing treatment
with a surfactant and/or an aqueous alkaline solution.
Preferably roughening is followed by a chemical etching step using
an aqueous solution containing an acid. The chemical etching is preferably carried
out at a temperature of at least 30°C more preferably at least 40°C and most preferably
at least 50°C.
After roughening and optional chemical etching the aluminum foil
is anodized which may be carried out as follows.
An electric current is passed through the grained aluminum foil immersed
as an anode in a solution containing an acid. An electrolyte concentration from
1 to 70 % by weight can be used within a temperature range from 0-70°C. The anodic
current density may vary from 1-50 A/dm2 and a voltage within the range
1-100 V to obtain an anodized film weight of 1-8 g/m2 Al2O3.H2O.
The anodized aluminum foil may subsequently be rinsed with demineralised water
within a temperature range of 10-80°C.
After the anodizing step sealing may be applied to the anodic surface.
Sealing of the pores of the aluminum oxide layer formed by anodization is a technique
known to those skilled in the art of aluminum anodization. This technique has been
described in e.g. the "Belgisch-Nederlands tijdschrift voor Oppervlaktetechnieken
van materialen", 24ste jaargang/januari 1980, under the title "Sealing-kwaliteit
en sealing-controle van geanodiseerd Aluminium". Different types of sealing of
the porous anodized aluminum surface exist.
Preferably, said sealing is performed by treating a grained and anodized
aluminum support with an aqueous solution containing a bicarbonate as disclosed
in EP-A- 567 178, which therefor is incorporated herein by reference or
by treating with a solution of polyvinyl phosphonic acid.
Preferably each of the above described steps is separated by a rinsing
step to avoid contamination of the liquid used in a particular step with that of
the preceding step.
To promote the image sharpness and, as a consequence thereof, the
sharpness of the final printed copy, the anodization layer may be coloured in the
mass with an antihalation dye or pigment e.g. as described in JA-Pu- 58/14 797.
Subsequent to the preparation of the aluminum foil as described above
the aluminum foil may be immediately coated with a solution containing the physical
development nuclei or may be coated with said solution at a later stage.
The image receiving layer containing physical development nuclei
is preferably free of hydrophilic binder but may comprise small amounts upto 80%
by weight of the total weight of said layer of a hydrophilic colloid e.g. polyvinyl
alcohol to improve the hydrophilicity of the surface.
Preferred development nuclei for use in accordance with the present
invention are sulphides of heavy metals e.g. sulphides of antimony, bismuth, cadmium,
cobalt, lead, nickel, palladium, platinum, silver, and zinc. Especially suitable
development nuclei in connection with the present invention are palladium sulphide
nuclei. Other suitable development nuclei are salts such as e.g. selenides, polyselenides,
polysulphides, mercaptans, and tine (II) halides. Heavy metals, preferably silver,
gold, platinum, palladium, and mercury can be used in colloidal form.
The aluminum support according to the present invention is especially
suited for preparing a mono-sheet DTR material. According to the method of the
present invention for obtaining a mono-sheet DTR material an aluminum foil prepared
as described above and provided with an image receiving layer is provided with
a photosensitive layer in water permeable contact with said image receiving layer.
Layers being in waterpermeable contact with each other are layers
that are contiguous to each other or only separated from each other by (a) waterpermeable
layer(s). The nature of a waterpermeable layer is such that it does not substantially
inhibit or restrain the diffusion of water or of compounds contained in an aqueous
solution e.g. developing agents or the complexed silver.
The photosensitive layer used according to the present invention
may be any layer comprising a hydrophilic colloid binder and at least one silver
halide emulsion, at least one of the silver halide emulsions being photosensitive.
The photographic silver halide emulsion(s) used in accordance with
the present invention can be prepared from soluble silver salts and soluble halides
according to different methods as described e.g. by P. Glafkides in "Chimie et
Physique Photographique", Paul Montel, Paris (1967), by G.F. Duffin in "Photographic
Emulsion Chemistry", The Focal Press, London (1966), and by V.L. Zelikman et al
in "Making and Coating Photographic Emulsion", The Focal Press, London (1966).
For use according to the present invention the silver halide emulsion
or emulsions preferably consist principally of silver chloride while a fraction
of silver bromide may be present ranging from 1 mole % to 40 mole %. Most preferably
a silver halide emulsion containing at least 70 mole% of silver chloride is used.
The average size of the silver halide grains may range from 0.10
to 0.70 µm , preferably from 0.25 to 0.45 µm.
Preferably during or after the precipitation stage iridium and/or
rhodium containing compounds or a mixture of both are added. The concentration
of these added compounds ranges from 10-8 to 10-3
mole per
mole of AgNO3, preferably between 10-7 and 10-5
mole per mole of AgNO3.
The emulsions can be chemically sensitized e.g. by adding sulphur-containing
compounds during the chemical ripening stage e.g. allyl isothiocyanate, allyl thiourea,
and sodium thiosulphate. Also reducing agents e.g. the tin compounds described
in BE-P- 493 464 and 568 687, and polyamines such as diethylene triamine
or derivatives of aminomethane-sulphonic acid can be used as chemical sensitizers.
Other suitable chemical sensitizers are noble metals and noble metal compounds
such as gold, platinum, palladium, iridium, ruthenium and rhodium. This method
of chemical sensitization has been described in the article of R.KOSLOWSKY, Z.
Wiss. Photogr. Photophys. Photochem. 46, 65-72 (1951).
Apart from negative-working silver halide emulsions that are preferred
for their high photosensitivity, use can be made also of direct-positive silver
halide emulsions that produce a positive silver image in the emulsion layer(s)
and a negative image on the image-receiving layer.
Suitable direct positive silver halide emulsions for use in accordance
with the present invention are silver halide emulsions that have been previously
fogged or that mainly form an internal latent image.
The silver halide emulsions of the DTR-element can be spectrally
sensitized according to the spectral emission of the exposure source for which
the DTR element is designed.
Suitable sensitizing dyes for the visible spectral region include
methine dyes such as those described by F.M. Hamer in "The Cyanine Dyes and Related
Compounds", 1964, John Wiley & Sons. Dyes that can be used for this purpose
include cyanine dyes, merocyanine dyes, complex cyanine dyes, complex merocyanine
dyes, homopolar cyanine dyes, hemicyanine dyes, styryl dyes and hemioxonol dyes.
Particularly valuable dyes are those belonging to the cyanine dyes, merocyanine
dyes, complex merocyanine dyes.
In the case of a conventional light source, e.g. tungsten light,
a green sensitizing dye is needed. In case of exposure by an argon ion laser a
blue sensizing dye is incorporated. In case of exposure by a red light emitting
source, e.g. a LED or a HeNe laser a red sensitizing dye is used. In case of exposure
by a semiconductor laser special spectral sensitizing dyes suited for the near
infra-red are required. Suitable infra-red sensitizing dyes are disclosed in i.a.
344, 3 623 881 and 3 695 888.
A preferred blue sensitizing dye, green sensitizing dye, red sensitizing
dye and infra-red sensitizing dye in connection with the present invention are
described in EP-A- 554 585.
To enhance the sensitivity in the red or near infra-red region use
can be made of so-called supersensitizers in combination with red or infra-red
sensitizing dyes. Suitable supersensitizers are described in Research Disclosure
Vol 289, May 1988, item 28952. The spectral sensitizers can be added to the photographic
emulsions in the form of an aqueous solution, a solution in an organic solvent
or in the form of a dispersion.
The silver halide emulsions may contain the usual emulsion stabilizers.
Suitable emulsion stabilizers are azaindenes, preferably tetra- or penta-azaindenes,
especially those substituted with hydroxy or amino groups. Compounds of this kind
have been described by BIRR in Z. Wiss. Photogr. Photophys. Photochem. 47, 2-27
(1952). Other suitable emulsion stabilizers are i.a. heterocyclic mercapto compounds.
As binder in the silver halide emulsion layer(s) in connection with
the present invention a hydrophilic colloid may be used, usually a protein, preferably
gelatin. Gelatin can, however, be replaced in part or integrally by synthetic,
semi-synthetic, or natural polymers. Preferably the silver halide emulsion layer
contains at least one gelatin species whereof a 10 % by weight aqueous solution
at 36 °C and pH 6 has a viscosity lower than 20 mPa.s at a shearing rate of 1000
s -1 combined with a gelatin of a higher viscosity. The weight ratio
of said low viscosity gelatin versus the gelatin of a higher viscosity is preferably
> 0.5.
Preferably the gelatin layer(s) is(are) unhardened. Unhardened means
that when such gelatin layer is coated on a subbed polyethylene terephtalate film
base at a dry thickness of 1.2 g/m2, dried for 3 days at 57 C° and 35% R.H. and
dipped in water of 30 C°, said gelatin layer is dissolved for more than 95 % by
weight within 5 minutes.
The silver halide emulsions may contain pH controlling ingredients.
Preferably at least one gelatin containing layer is coated at a pH value not below
the iso-electric point of the gelatin to avoid interactions between said gelatin
containing coated layer and the hereafter mentioned intermediate layers. More preferably
the gelatin layer contiguous to said intermediate layer is coated at a pH value
not below the iso-electric point of the gelatin. Most preferably all the gelatin
containing layers are coated at a pH value not below the iso-electric point of
their gelatin. Other ingredients such as antifogging agents, development accelerators,
wetting agents, and hardening agents for gelatin may be present.
The silver halide emulsion layer may comprise light-screening dyes
that absorb scattering light and thus promote the image sharpness. Suitable light-absorbing
dyes are described in i.a. US-P- 4 092 168, US-P- 4 311 787 and
More details about the composition, preparation and coating of silver
halide emulsions suitable for use in accordance with the present invention can
be found in e.g. Product Licensing Index, Vol. 92, December 1971, publication 9232,
p. 107-109.
Preferably, the imaging element also comprises an intermediate layer
between the image receiving layer and the photosensitive layer(packet) to facilate
the removal of said layer(packet) thereby uncovering the silver image formed in
the image receiving layer by processing the imaging element.
In one embodiment, the intermediate layer is a water-swellable intermediate
layer coated at a ratio of 0.01 to 2.0 g/m2 and 5 comprising at least one non-proteinic
hydrophilic film-forming polymer e.g. polyvinyl alcohol and optionally comprising
an antihalation dye or pigment as disclosed in EP-A- 410 500.
In another embodiment, the intermediate layer is a layer comprising
hydrophobic polymer beads having an average diameter not lower than 0.2 mm and
having been prepared by polymerization of at least one ethylenically unsaturated
monomer. Preferably, said intermediate layer in dry condition comprises said hydrophobic
polymer beads in an amount of up to 80% of its total weight. Further details are
disclosed in EP-A- 483 415.
In still another embodiment, the intermediate layer is a layer comprising
particles of a water insoluble inorganic compound having a number average size
not lower than 0.1 mm. Preferably, said intermediate layer comprises said water
insoluble inorganic compound in an amount of at least 0.1 g/m2. Further details

point of at least 50°C, said particles having a number average size between 0.1
mm and 10 mm. Preferably, said intermediate layer comprises said alkali insoluble
non-polymeric organic compound in an amount of at least 0.1 g/m2. Further details
are disclosed in EP-A- 95 201 713.5.
In still another embodiment, the intermediate layer is a layer comprising
particles of an alkali insoluble polymeric organic compound obtainable by polycondensation,
said particles having a number average size between 0.02 mm and 10 mm. Preferably,
said intermediate layer comprises said alkali insoluble polymeric organic compound
obtainable by polycondensation in an amount of at least 0.1 g/m2. Further details
are disclosed in EP-A- 95 203 052.6.
All said intermediate layers may comprise pigment particles with
a number average diameter between 0.2 and 1 µm such as CaCO3, TiO2, BaSO4, Al2O3,
SiO2, ZnO2, etc..
A supplemental intermediate layer, which may be present between said
silver halide emulsion containing layer and said intermediate layer may incorporate
one or more ingredients such as i.a. antihalation dyes or pigment, developing agents,
silver halide solvents, base precursors, and anticorrosion substances.
The imaging element may optionally contains an upper layer (antistress
layer) comprising gelatin and preferably at least 30 mg/m2 of a matting
agent with a weight average diameter larger than the mean roughness depth Rz of
the grained and anodized side of the aluminum support which is coated with the
above mentioned layer.
Said matting agent may be a water-insoluble, alkali soluble organic
polymer or copolymer such as a copolymer of acrylic acid and methyl acrylate. More
preferably said matting agent is a water insoluble inorganic compound such as silica.
Most preferably said matting agent is an alkali-insoluble organic polymer or copolymer
such as a polymer or copolymer of methyl (meth)acrylate. A particularly preferred
matting agent is a copolymer of styrene, methyl methacrylate and maleic acid.
The profile of the grained and anodized aluminum support is measured
with a mechanical perthometer Mahr Perthen S6P containing as measuring head RTK
50 (tradenames of Feinpruef Perthen GmbH, Goettingen, Germany) equipped with a
diamond stylus with a diameter of 5 mm under a pressure of 1.0 mN after completely
stripping away all supplemental layers and/or foreign substances according to
techniques well known in the art.
The sampling length Ls which is the reference length for roughness
evaluation and is also the cut-off lc of the profile filter used for separating
the wavelengths belonging to roughness from those belonging to waviness measures
0.25mm. The evaluation length Lm, being that part of the traversing length Lt which
is evaluated contains standard 5 consecutive sampling lengths. The traversing
length Lt is the overall length travelled by the tracing system when acquiring
the profile. It is the sum of pre-travel, evaluation length Lm and post travel.
Pre-travel is the first part of the traversing length Lt. Post-travel is the last
part of the traversing length Lt. Pre-travel and post-travel are required for
phase-corrected filtering. Single roughness depth Zi is the vertical distance of
the highest to the deepest profile point of one sampling length. Mean roughness
depth Rz is the mean value of the single roughness depths Zi of consecutive sampling
Rz =RzDin = 1/n (Z1 + Z2 + ... + Zn)
According to the invention the matting agent has a weight average
diameter larger than the mean roughness depth Rz of the grained and anodized side
of the aluminum support which is coated with the above mentioned layers, preferably
larger than 1.2 times said mean roughness depth, more preferably larger than 1.3
said mean roughness depth. The upper limit of the weight average diameter of said
matting agent is not so important but is for practical reasons preferably not more
than 15 µm, more preferably not more than 10 µm.
The mean roughness depth of a grained and anodized aluminum foil
suitable as a support for an imaging element according to the present invention
ranges preferably from 2 µm to 6 µm, more preferably from 2.5 µm to 5 µm.
According to the invention said antistress layer comprises at least
30 mg/m2 of a matting agent with a weight average diameter larger than
said mean roughness depth, more preferably between 50 and 500 mg/m2
of said matting agent, most preferably between 100 and 200 mg/m2 of
said matting agent.
According to the invention the antistress layer comprises preferably

to one or more gelatin species whereof a 10% by weight aqueous solution at 36°C
and pH 6 has a viscosity lower than 35 mPa.s, more preferably lower than 30 mPa.s
at a shearing rate of 1000 s-1.
Said antistress layer can comprise more than one species of unhardened
gelatin whereof a 10% by weight aqueous solution at 36°C and pH 6 has a viscosity
lower than 35 mPa.s at a shearing rate of 1000 s-1, but it is preferred for practical
reasons that said layer comprises only one such gelatin.
Said antistress layer may contain small particles e.g. matting agents
with a mean diameter between 0.2 and 3 µm in order to improve the diffusion of
processing solutions through said antistress layer.
The antistress layer is the surface layer of the imaging element
lying on that side of the support that carries the emulsion layer.
The antistress layer and the layer containing the silver halide emulsion
have to be in water permeable relationship with said image receiving layer in the
imaging element.
According to the present invention the imaging element can be information-wise
exposed in an apparatus according to its particular application. A wide choice
of cameras for exposing the photosensitive silver halide emulsion exists on the
market. Horizontal, vertical and darkroom type cameras and contact-exposure apparatus
are available to suit any particular class of reprographic work. The imaging element
in accordance with the present invention can also be exposed with the aid of i.a.
laser recorders and cathode rays tubes.
According to the present invention the development and diffusion
transfer of the information-wise exposed imaging element in order to form a silver
image in said photosensitive layer and to allow unreduced silver halide or complexes
formed thereof to diffuse image-wise from the photosensitive layer to said image
receiving layer to produce therein a silver image, are effected with the aid of
an aqueous alkaline solution in the presence of (a) developing agent(s), and (a)
silver halide solvent(s). The developing agent(s) and/or the silver halide solvent(s)
can be incorporated in the aqueous alkaline solution and/or in the imaging element.
Preferably a silver halide solvent in the aqueous alkaline solution
is used in an amount between 0.05% by weight and 5% by weight and more preferably
between 0.5% by weight and 2% by weight.
The silver halide solvent, which acts as a complexing agent for silver
halide, preferably is a water-soluble thiosulphate or thiocyanate e.g. sodium,
potassium, or ammonium thiosulphate and sodium, potassium, or ammonium thiocyanate.
Further silver halide solvents that can be used in connection with
the present invention are e.g. sulphite, amines, 2-mercaptobenzoic acid, cyclic
imide compounds such as e.g. uracil, 5,5-dialkylhydantoins, alkyl sulfones and
Further silver halide solvents for use in connection with the present
invention are alkanolamines. Examples of alkanolamines that may be used in connection
with the present invention correspond to the following formula:
wherein X and X' independently represent hydrogen, a hydroxyl
group or an amino group, l and m represent 0 or integers of 1 or more and n represents
an integer of 1 or more. Said alkanolamines may be present in the alkaline processing
liquid in a concentration preferably between 0.1% and 5% by weight. However part
or all of the alkanolamine can be present in one or more layers of the imaging
Still other preferred further silver halide solvents for use in connection
with the present invention are thioethers. Preferably used thioethers correspond
to the following general formula:
wherein Z and Y each independently represents hydrogen, an alkyl group, an amino
group, an ammonium group, a hydroxyl, a sulfo group, a carboxyl, an aminocarbonyl
or an aminosulfonyl, R1, R2 and R3 each independently represents
an alkylene that may be substituted and optionally contain an oxygen bridge and
t represents an integer from 0 to 10. Examples of thioether compounds corresponding
to the above formula are disclosed in e.g. US-P- 4 960 683 and
Still further suitable silver halide solvents are 1,2,4-triazolium-3-thiolates,
preferably 1,2,4-triazolium-3-thiolates substituted with at least one substituent
selected from the group consisting of a C1-C8 alkyl group
that contains at least 3 fluorine atoms, a C4-C10 hydrocarbon
group and a 4-amino group substituted with a C1-C8 alkyl
group that contains at least 3 fluorine atoms and/or a C4-C10
hydrocarbon group.
Combinations of different silver halide solvents can be used and
it is also possible to incorporate at least one silver halide solvent into a suitable
layer of the imaging element and to add at least one other silver halide solvent
to the developing solution.
The alkaline processing liquid may also contain (a) developing agent(s).
In this case the alkaline processing liquid is called a developer. On the other
hand some or all of the developing agent(s) may be present in one or more layers
of the photographic material or imaging element. When all of the developing agents
are contained in the imaging element the alkaline processing liquid is called an
activator or activating liquid.
Silver halide developing agents for use in accordance with the present
invention are preferably of the p-dihydroxybenzene type, e.g. hydroquinone, methylhydroquinone
or chlorohydroquinone, preferably in combination with an auxiliary developing agent
being a 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidone-type developing agent and/or p-monomethylaminophenol.
Particularly useful auxiliary developing agents are the 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidones.
Even more preferred, particularly when they are incorporated into the photographic
material are 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidones of which the aqueous solubility is increased
by a hydrophilic substituent such as e.g. hydroxy, amino, carboxylic acid group,
sulphonic acid group etc.. Examples of 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidones substituted with
one or more hydrophilic groups are e.g. 1-phenyl-4,4-dimethyl-2-hydroxy-3-pyrazolidone,
1-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-3-pyrazolidone etc.. However other developing
agents can be used.
Preferred amounts of the hydroquinone-type developing agents are
in the range of 0.05 mole to 0.40 mole per litre and preferred amounts of secondary
developing agent(s) in the range of 1.8 x 10-3
to 2.0 x 10-1
mole per litre.
The aqueous alkaline solution in accordance with the present invention
may further comprise sulphite e.g. sodium sulphite in an amount ranging from 40
g to 180 g per liter, preferably from 60 to 160 g per liter in combination with
another silver halide solvent.
The quantitative ranges given for the developing agents, silver halide
solvents, and sulphite apply to the amount of these compounds present as solutes
in the aqueous alkaline solution during the DTR-processing, whether these compounds
make part of the aqueous alkaline solution or were dissolved from the layers containing
them upon application thereto of the aqueous alkaline solution.
The aqueous alkaline solution suitable for use according to the present
invention preferably comprises aluminum ions in an amount of at least 0.3 g/l,
more preferably in an amount of at least 0.6 g/l in order to prevent sticking of
the emulsion layer to the transporting rollers when the emulsion is swollen with
the aqueous alkaline solution.
The alkaline processing liquid preferably has a pH between 9 and
14 and more preferably between 10 and 13, but depends on the type of silver halide
emulsion material to be developed, intended development time, and processing temperature.
The processing conditions such as temperature and time may vary within
broad ranges provided the mechanical strength of the materials to be processed
is not adversely influenced and no decomposition takes place.
The pH of the alkaline processing liquid may be established by an
organic or inorganic alkaline substance or a combination thereof. Suitable inorganic
alkaline substances are e.g. hydroxides of sodium and potassium, alkali metal salts
of phosphoric acid and/or silicic acid e.g. trisodium phosphate, orthosilicates,
metasilicates, hydrodisilicates of sodium or potassium, and sodium carbonate etc..
Suitable organic alkaline substances are e.g. alkanolamines. In the latter case
the alkanolamines will provide or help providing the pH and serve as a silver halide
complexing agent.
The aqueous alkaline solution may further comprise hydrophobizing
agents for improving the hydrophobicity of the silver image obtained in the image
receiving layer. Generally these compounds contain a mercapto group or thiolate
group and one or more hydrophobic substituents. Particularly preferred hydrophobizing
agents are mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazoles as described in DE-A- 1 228 927
and in US-P- 4 563 410, 2-mercapto-5-heptyl- oxa-3,4-diazole and long chain
(at least 5 carbon atoms) alkyl substituted mercaptotetrazoles. The hydrophobizing
agents can be used alone or in combination with each other.
These hydrophobizing compounds can be added to the aqueous alkaline
solution in an amount of preferably 0.1 to 3 g per litre and preferably in admixture
with 1-phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazole, the latter compound may be used in amounts of
e.g. 50 mg to 1.2 g per litre of solution, which may contain a minor amount of
ethanol to improve the dissolution of said compounds.
The aqueous alkaline solution may comprise other ingredients such
as e.g. oxidation preservatives, calcium-sequestering compounds, anti-sludge agents,
and hardeners including latent hardeners.
Regeneration of the aqueous alkaline solution according to known
methods is, of course, possible, whether the solution incorporates developing agent(s)
and/or silver halide solvent(s) or not.
The development may be stopped - though this is often not necessary
- with a so-called stabilization liquid, which actually is an acidic stop-bath
having a pH preferably in the range from 5 to 7.
Bufferred stop bath compositions comprising a mixture of sodium dihydrogen
orthophosphate and disodium hydrogen orthophosphate and having a pH in said range
are preferred.
The development and diffusion transfer can be initiated in different
ways e.g. by rubbing with a roller, by wiping with an absorbent means e.g. with
a plug of cotton or sponge, or by dipping the material to be treated in the liquid
composition. Preferably, they proceed in an automatically operated apparatus. They
are normally carried out at a temperature in the range of 18°C tQ 30°C and in
a time from 5 s to 5 min.
After formation of the silver image in the image receiving layer
an excess of aqueous alkaline solution still present on the base may be eliminated,
preferably by guiding the foil through a pair of squeezing rollers.
The silver image thus obtained in the layer of physical development
nuclei is subsequently uncovered by treating the imaging element to remove all
the layers above the layer containing physical development nuclei, thereby exposing
the imaged surface of the aluminum support.
According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention
the silver image in the layer of physical development nuclei is uncovered by washing
off all the layers above the layer containing physical development nuclei with
rinsing water.
The temperature of the rinsing water may be varied widely but is
preferably between 30 °C and 50 °C, more preferably between 35°C and 45°C.
The imaged surface of the hydrophilic surface of a support can be
subjected to a chemical treatment that increases the hydrophilicity of the non-silver
image parts and the oleophilicity of the silver image
This chemical after-treatment is preferably carried out with a lithographic
composition often called finisher comprising at least one compound enhancing the
ink-receptivity and/or lacquer-receptivity of the silver image and at least one
compound that improves the ink-repelling characteristics of the hydrophilic surface.
Suitable ingredients for the finisher are e.g. organic compounds
containing a mercapto group such as the hydrophobizing compounds referred to hereinbefore
for the alkaline solution. Preferred compounds correspond to one of the following
wherein R5 represents hydrogen or an acyl group, R4
represents alkyl, aryl or aralkyl. Most preferably used compounds are compounds
according to one of the above formulas wherein R4
represents an alkyl
containing 3 to 16 C-atoms. Said (a) hydrophobizing agent(s) is(are) comprised
in the finisher preferably in a total concentration between 0.1 g/l and 10 g/l,
more preferably in a total concentration between 0.3 g/l and 3 g/l.
Additives improving the oleophilic ink-repellency of the hydrophilic
surface areas are e.g. carbohydrates such as acidic polysaccharides like gum arabic,
carboxymethylcellulose, sodium alginate, propylene glycol ester of alginic acid,
hydroxyethyl starch, dextrin, hydroxyethylcellulose, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polystyrene
sulphonic acid, polyglycols being the reaction products of ethyleneoxide and/or
propyleneoxide with water or an alcohol and polyvinyl alcohol. Optionally, hygroscopic
substances e.g. sorbitol, glycerol, tri(hydroxyethyl)ester of glycerol, and turkish
red oil may be added.
Furthermore (a) surface-active compound(s) is preferably also added
to the finisher. The concentration thereof may vary within broad ranges provided
the finisher shows no excessive degree of foaming when plates are finished. Preferred
surface-active compound are anionic or non-ionic surface-active compound.
A suitable finisher as disclosed in US-A- 4 563 410 is a composition
comprising a solution of a mercaptotriazole in a solution of polyethylene oxide
with a molecular weight of 4,000. Further suitable finishers have been described
in i.a. US-A- 4 062 682 and EP-A- 681 219.
At the moment the treatment with the finisher is started the surface
carrying the silver pattern may be in dry or wet state. In general, the treatment
with the finisher does not take long, usually not longer than about 30 seconds
and it may be carried out immediately after the processing and uncovering steps,
preferably at a temperature of the finisher in the range from 30°C to 60°C.
The finisher can be applied in different ways such as by rubbing
with a roller, by wiping with an absorbent means e.g. with a plug of cotton or
sponge, or by dipping the material to be treated in the finisher. The image-hydrophobizing
step of the printing plate may also proceed automatically by conducting the printing
plate through a device having a narrow channel filled with the finisher and conveying
the printing plate at the end of the channel between two squeezing rollers removing
the excess of liquid.
As soon as the hydrophilic surface of a support carrying the silver
image has been treated with the finisher, it is ready to be used as a printing
The following example illustrates the present invention without however,
limiting it thereto. All parts, percentages and ratios are by weight unless otherwise
A 0,30 mm thick aluminium foil (AA 1050) was degreased by immersing
the foil in an aqueous solution containing 10 % phosphoric acid and subsequently
etched in an aqueous solution containing 2 g/l of sodium hydroxide. The foil was
then electrochemically grained using an alternating current in an aqueous solution
containing 4 g/l of hydrochloric acid and 4 g/l of hydroboric acid at a temperature
of 35°C to form a surface topography with a mean roughness depth of 4 µm. The
aluminium plate was then desmutted with an aqueous solution containing 30 % of
sulfuric acid at 60°C for 120 seconds. The foil was subsequently subjected to anodic
oxidation in a 20 % sulfuric acid aqueous solution to form an anodic oxidation
film on the front side of 3.0 g/m2 of Al2O3.H2O,
treated with an aqueous solution containing 20 g/l of NaHCO3 at 45°C
for 30 sec and then rinsed with demineralised water and dried.
The imaging element I was obtained by coating the grained, anodized
and posttreated aluminum support with a silver-receptive stratum containing 4 mg/m2
Ag° as physical development nuclei.
An intermediate layer was then provided on the dry silver-receptive
stratum from an aqueous composition of polyvinyl alcohol and Levanyl Rot (trade
name of Bayer A.G. for a red pigment) in such a way that the resulting dried layer
had a weight of 120 mg of polyvinyl alcohol and 250 mg of Levanyl Rot per m2.
Subsequently a substantially unhardened photosensitive negative-working
cadium-free orthochromatically sensitized gelatin silver chloroiodide emulsion
layer (99.8 / 0.2 mol%) containing 1 mmole/moie AgX or 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-1,3,3a,7-tetraazaindene
and 2.2 mole/ mole AgX of 1-(3-(2-sulphobenzamido))phenyl-5-mercaptotetrazole
was coated on the intermediate layer, the silver halide being provided in an amount
corresponding to 2.50 g of silver nitrate per m2 and the gelatin content
of the emulsion layer being 1.50 g/m2, consisting of 0.7 g/m2
of a gelatin with a viscosity of 21 mPas and the remainder of a gelatin with a
viscosity of 14 mPas.
Finally the photosensitive emulsion layer was overcoated with an
antistress layer containing no hardeners comprising 0.7 g/m2
gelatin with
a viscosity of 10-12 mPas (gelatin K 7598 of Koepff), 60 mg/m2 of Levanyl Rot and
140 mg/m2 of a copolymer of styrene, methyl methacrylate and maleic
acid as matting agent with a weight average diameter of 3.5 µm.
Imaging element II was obtained in an identical way as imaging element
I with the exception that the grained, anodized and posttreated aluminum foil is
treated with a corona before the silver halide emulsion containing layer is coated.
There are used two stations each comprising one roller and two electrodes. The
electrodes of the corona are coated with quartz. The frequency of the high voltage
electrodes farthest away from the coating head is 30 kHz, the frequency of the
other high voltage electrodes is 15 kHz. The specific power of the two corona stations
is 100 Watt.min/m2. The time span between the corona treatment and the coating
with a layer containing silver halide emulsion is 6 seconds.
Said imaging elements were placed in contact with a test target and
exposed therethrough in a process-camera. In the next step each sample was immersed
for 10 s at 24°C in a freshly made developing solution having the following composition:
4 g
sodium hydroxide
22.5 g
anhydrous sodium sulphite
120 g
20 g
6 g
potassium bromide
0.75 g
anhydrous sodium thiosulphate
8 g
ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid tetrasodium salt
2 g
demineralized water to make
1000 ml
pH (24°C) = 13
The initiated diffusion transfer was allowed to continue for 20 s
to form a silver image in the image receiving layer.
To remove the developed silver halide emulsion layer, the intermediate
layer and the anti-stress layer from the aluminium foil the developed monosheet
DTR materials were rinsed for 5 s with a water jet at 40°C in a LP 82 (tradename
of a processor marketed by Agfa-Gevaert, Belgium).
Next, the imaged surfaces of the aluminium foils were treated in
a LP 82 (marketed by Agfa-Gevaert, N.V. of Belgium) for 15 s with a finisher at
45 °C to enhance the water-receptivity of the non-image areas and to make the image
areas oleophilic ink-receptive. The finisher had the following composition :
Gebo ( trade mark for a surfactant sold by Chemische Fabrik
Chem-Y, Gmbh, Germany)
250 mg
polyethylene glycol 3000
75 g
potassium nitrate
12.5 g
citric acid
20.0 g
2.0 g
20.0 g
200 mg
sodium hydroxyde
13.0 g
water to make
1000 ml
pH (20°C) = 5.9
The printing plates thus prepared were used for printing under identical
conditions. The printing plates were mounted on the same offset printing machine
(HEIDELBERG GTO-46). As fountain solution was used Rotamatic at 50% and as ink
K+E 123W from Kast and Ehinger,A.G., Germany. A compressible rubber blanket was
The quality of the printing plates was judged by the number and vastness
of the white spots in the image areas and the number and vastness of the horseshoes
in the non-image areas. The results are given in table 1. A lower number for said
items yields of course a better plate.
white spots
air bubble
0.2-0.35 mm
0.25 mm
0.5-0.7 mm
0.05-0.1 mm
0.05 mm
It is clear from the results in table 1 that the imaging element, that is prepared
by corona treatment yields a much better plate than an printing element that is
prepared without corona treatment of the grained and anodized aluminum foil.

First of all, a HUGE thank you to Toyota of Long Beach20 minutes ago
When you think of highly efficient hybrid vehicles, there's no doubt the Toyota Prius comes to mind. Since its introduction nearly 20 years ago, the venerable Prius has become the paradigm of fuel-sippers. With 50-plus mpg, hatchback versatility and a backing of Toyota reliability, it's easy to see why the Prius is a hybrid sales leader. Now there's another reason to consider the 2019 Toyota Prius, especially if you live in a climate with snowy or icy winters: available all-wheel drive.

The Audi A6 has been redesigned for 2019 with an emphasis on evolutionary improvements. Like its predecessor, the new A6 delivers space, technology, luxury and performance in spades, but it's more refined and advanced than ever. Most of the changes for 2019 center on the A6's technology offerings, including additional advanced driver safety aids and a new dual-touchscreen interface that replaces the old knob-based MMI system. Equipped with a velvety-smooth turbocharged V6, the A6 won't leave you pining for more acceleration, although you may find yourself wanting a softer ride. With its typically European sporting bias, the all-wheel-drive A6 rides a tad firmer than some shoppers might prefer, but it's a remarkably well-rounded car overall. See the A6 in our Sedan rankings
Available also as a hybrid, sports model or a standard, this is a top mid-size sedan with a fuel economy of 30 in the city and 38 for the highway. It's dependable, easy to drive, energy efficient and powerful, and even its base model has a 33 mile-per-gallon combined fuel economy — with the hybrid option offering 48 MPG combined. It comes with a standard 192-horsepower 1.5-liter engine, though if you spring for the 2.0-liter turbo, you'll get 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque (though the mileage ratings are not nearly as good). This year's model hasn't changed much since last year, however, so if you want to save a little money, consider purchasing this vehicle used.

Simply put, the Prius AWD-e is more sure-footed and capable on snow — precisely what the added mechanicals intended to deliver. We'd also like to point out that these vehicles were equipped with the standard low-rolling-resistance tires that are focused on fuel efficiency rather than traction. Switching to all-season or snow tires would likely yield even better results.
In keeping with the Prius becoming more mainstream, the numeral-based trim levels have been replaced with a more familiar structure of names including L Eco, LE, XLE and Limited. Of these, the AWD-e will be offered only in the midgrade trims. As with the previous model, the 2019 Prius will continue to receive an ample list of standard advanced safety features bundled in the Toyota Safety Sense P suite.
Consider that a larger-than-average chunk of the Prius's cost is directed to make possible its advanced powertrain, and the amount of plastic in the interior starts to make sense even as it left us wanting for better trimmings. It could be appointed in sumptuous leather and we'd still take issue with the center-mounted information gauges, which require the driver to take their eyes off the road too frequently. Passengers have plenty of room to spread out in the Prius—there's space for four six-footers thanks to upright seating—but several rivals offer even more legroom for back-seat passengers.
The original Prius helped make hybrid vehicles mainstream back in the early 2000s, and it continues to be one of the most recognized hybrid nameplates. Its eccentric exterior styling and—ahem—untraditional interior design are unmistakable albeit polarizing. Still, the Toyota has always been about making the world a greener place by maximizing fuel economy and minimizing emissions. The compact hatchback is losing ground to newer hybrid alternatives such as the Hyundai Ioniq and the Kia Niro, but the Toyota brand maintains an unrivaled reputation for reliability. While the 2019 Prius is the polar opposite of driving enjoyment and high performance (or any type of performance, for that matter), its comfortable interior and trademark powertrain deliver what many consumers want.
In Latin prius is the neuter singular of the comparative form (prior, prior, prius) of an adjective with only comparative and superlative (the superlative being primus, prima, primum). As with all neuter words, the Latin plural is priora, but that brand name was used by the Lada Priora in 2007. Despite the "official" plural form used by Toyota USA, "Priuses" is widely used in English.[21]

Prius family sales also set a record in Japan in March 2012. Accounting for the conventional Prius and Prius α sales, a total of 45,496 units were sold in March 2012, becoming the highest monthly sales ever for any model in Japan since 1997, and representing a market share of 9% of all new car registrations excluding kei cars. The Toyota Aqua sold 29,156 units, ranking as the third top selling car that month. Together, all Prius family vehicles sold 74,652 units, representing 15% of monthly new car sales in March 2012.[137][138] With a total of 247,230 vehicles sold during the first quarter of 2012, the Toyota Prius family became the third top selling nameplate in the world in terms of total global sales, after the Toyota Corolla (300,800 units) and the Ford Focus (277,000 units).[139][140]
MARK TAKAHASHI: The Toyota Prius has been the hybrid poster child for almost two decades. When it comes to fuel economy, it's really hard to beat the Prius. But it's front-wheel drive-only layout posed challenges for shoppers in weather-prone areas. That's all changed with this, the 2019 Toyota Prius. Do me a favor and hit Subscribe below. We have a lot more reviews coming your way. Compared to the 2018 Prius, the 2019 models, including the all-wheel drive, perform and behave much like its predecessor. They're not particularly sporty, but they get the job done, and that job is fuel economy. When it goes on sale in January of 2019, prices are going to start right around $27,000 for the all-wheel drive, which is only about $1,400 more than the front-wheel drive. Another big difference between the all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive Prius is going to be the battery packs. They've switched from the lithium ion for the front wheel drive to a nickel metal hydride battery pack for the all-wheel drive. That's because Toyota says the nickel metal hydride battery pack does a lot better with cold climates. When it comes to styling differences, they've actually gone simple. They took out some of the more complex and awkward shapes that were in the front right under the headlights, and they even shaved off the headlights to give it more of a conventional wrap-around look. The same holds true for the tail lights. There are a lot more simpler and horizontal. Overall, you still get all of the character that you've come to expect from a Prius, for better or for worse. Like the exterior, of the interior of the 2019 Prius sees some minor changes here and there. The most obvious is the white, glossy trim that kind of adorned everything inside, that's gone. They've replaced it with black. And, personally, I think it looks a lot better. They've also moved the seat heater switches from buried deep down under here to right here in from the cup holders. Another addition. They've added two USB ports right behind for the rear seats. Otherwise, a lot of it remains unchanged, and that's a good thing. The addition of the all-wheel drive motor and the battery pack doesn't affect cargo space or rear passenger space at all. All right, so when it comes to driving the new Prius all-wheel drive, there's not a big difference between this and the regular front-wheel drive. To be honest, I don't feel a difference at all. They say that the power output and efficiency is pretty much dead on. This gets two miles per gallon less, so 50 miles per gallon combined, versus 52 for the regular Prius, and 56 miles per gallon for their L Eco. The added electric motors on the rear axle, those come into play under initial acceleration from 0 to 6 miles an hour. And that's really just to help out on slippery surfaces. The motor will kick in from time to time, up to 43 miles an hour, when needed when slippage is detected. Unfortunately, they didn't get around to adding Apple CarPlay for the 2019 model. They are saying it will come eventually. If you ask me, it'll probably be in the next model year. And that's too bad, because the Toyota Entune system, in my opinion, is one of the worst infotainment systems to use. It's just overcomplicated, and it's lacking a lot of features that are made up by the features on your smartphone. So to give an indication of how different or how much better the all-wheel drive might be, they've set up this wonderful little snowy course for us. This is the front-wheel drive version. And we'll see how much of a handful it really is. Let's go plowing and see what happens. Oh, yeah. So it's not a lot of steering response. It's really just-- oh, it's kind of just struggling to get through. And there's a lot of work you can hear with the anti-locks kicking in there. But it made it through just fine. It didn't need a whole lot of steering correction. So we'll see how the all-wheel drive performs in comparison. All right, so there's one important difference, which is initial traction. The rear motors, they come into play from 0 to 6 miles an hour just to get you going. So we're going to go up this gentle little incline here to get a real good indication of if it really works or not. Here we go. OK, so a little bit of crabbing here and there, but it left the line just fine. And that was pretty deep snow, actually. And the front-wheel drive Prius actually won't even make it up that hill. So we are lined up onto the chicane course. Here we go. Going in about the same speed and same aggression. Oh, it's tracking way better. Wow. Yeah, it's not bogging down at all. It's just kind of kicking in. We had maybe 25 miles an hour there, and that was a marked improvement. Good on you, Toyota. The 2019 Prius maintains its advantage for fuel economy and keeps all of its character that we've come to expect. The addition of the all-wheel drive model? Well, that's a significant step forward. It really opens up the Prius to shoppers who normally wouldn't consider it because they lived in snowy areas. After driving it on this course, I can say it makes a difference. It makes a big difference, especially when you're just starting out from a dead stop. For more information on the Prius, as well as its competition, head on over to edmunds.com.

All of our picks are roomy, all can carry five passengers in comfort, and all offer advanced safety aids. Among our mainstream selections, pricing is another common thread, as only a few thousand dollars separate the starting prices of the main rivals. (The Buick Regal Sportback is an outlier here; it's more expensive than mainstream models, but not quite nice enough to join the luxury models.)
The 2019 Toyota Prius offers ample cargo space for your impromptu adventures or calculated itineraries. If up to 65.5 cu. ft. of space isn't enough to hold all your gear, accessory cargo cross bars are available to share the load. With the highest mpg of any vehicle equipped with AWD, Prius encourages you to seek out hidden gems—like that quiet surf spot or that bustling marketplace. Wherever your spirit takes you, the new Prius lets you be in your element.
Simply put, the Prius AWD-e is more sure-footed and capable on snow — precisely what the added mechanicals intended to deliver. We'd also like to point out that these vehicles were equipped with the standard low-rolling-resistance tires that are focused on fuel efficiency rather than traction. Switching to all-season or snow tires would likely yield even better results.
The EPA estimates the thriftiest Prius Eco will earn up to 58 mpg in the city and 53 mpg on the highway. The other front-drive versions are EPA rated at 54 mpg city and 50 mpg on highway. Those who drive mostly highway miles and like to travel with the flow of fast-moving traffic might be disappointed to learn that the Prius delivered 46 mpg on our 200-mile highway fuel-economy test (which we conduct at a steady 75 mph), undershooting its EPA rating by 4 mpg. While we haven't tested an all-wheel-drive model, the EPA estimates it will earn 52 mpg city and 48 highway.
If you've always coveted a Tesla but didn't want to spend close to six figures, this might be your route. It's a mid-size electric car with plenty of technology, as expected with this brand. Additionally, the trunk is large enough to easily hold a mountain bike (as long as you fold the flat rear seats), and the interior cabin is large and comfortable. Consider the long-range battery version — approximated at an extra $7,000 — if you plan on driving longer distances.
Consumer ratings and reviews are also available for the 2019 Toyota Prius and all its trim types. Overall, Edmunds users rate the 2019 Prius 5 on a scale of 1 to 5 stars. Edmunds consumer reviews allow users to sift through aggregated consumer reviews to understand what other drivers are saying about any vehicle in our database. Detailed rating breakdowns (including performance, comfort, value, interior, exterior design, build quality, and reliability) are available as well to provide shoppers with a comprehensive understanding of why customers like the 2019 Prius.

Former Celtic and Manchester City stars Colin Kazim-Richards and Jo celebrate in style as Corinthians clinch Brazilian title
Players grabbed pints of lager with flares ignited in the stands after Sao Paulo outfit sealed seventh domestic triumph
CORINTHIANS are champions of Brazil — with Colin Kazim-Richards celebrating a THIRD league title with a pint of lager.
Former Manchester City forward Jo was the Sao Paulo club's hero, netting a double in a 3-1 win over Fluminense.
That left Corinthians ten points clear of second-placed Gremio, meaning they bagged the title with three games to spare.
It secured Leytonstone-born Kazim-Richards a league winners' medal in a third different country, after previous triumphs with Celtic and Olympiacos.
The retired 37-cap Turkey international scored the winner against Avai in Corinthians' last league game.
But Kazim-Richards, 31, was left on the bench as City flop Jo fired in the double that helped them win a seventh title - their first since 2015.
Kazim-Richards, who also played for Bury, Brighton and Blackburn, sprinted onto the pitch at full-time and celebrated with what appeared to be a pint of Estrella Galicia.
The celebrations looked some way off when Fluminense opened the scoring in the first minute through Henrique's strike.
But Jo replied in the second half with a goal just after the break and another just two minutes later.
SAMBA SIZZLERS 5 England vs Brazil classic moments
It left the Brazilian striker, who also won a league title with CSKA Moscow, as the top scorer in the top flight with 18 goals.
Jadson then sealed the success by netting a third in the 84th.
It ensured boss Fabio Carille, a former journeyman defender, scooped the title in his first season in charge after being appointed in December after several stints as assistant.

If your IBM Watson Media account has been enabled with an Organization, you can assign your team administrators to manage the entire organization or only specific channels using the Administrator Permissions Feature. For more information about Organizations, please see the Organizational Level Management article.
How to specify channel access for administrators:
In order for your administrators to manage specific channels in your account, you'll need to edit their permissions under the Organization settings page, found under your list of Organizations.
Then click Manage next to Administrators.
Then click the "Add people" and enter the company email address of the person you would like to manage specific channels. If you would like the person to manage everything in the organization (including settings, other administrators, accounts, channels and videos) select Organization administrator.
If you would like the person to manage only specific accounts, channels and videos, select Custom permissions. Then you will see all of the accounts found under this specific Organization. You can select between three account level access rights:
- Administrator can manage the account, channels and videos.
- Channel level access allows the administrator to access the account and manage selected channels.
- No access setting completely blocks the access to the account.
If you want to manage which specific channels this user has access to, select Channel level access. This will display all of the available channels under this account. Here you can select from one of the Access Levels:
- Administrator can manage the channel, videos and access individual viewer tracking.
- Manager can manage the channel and videos.
- No access setting blocks the user from accessing the channel at the Dashboard.
Once you've completed the appropriate settings, press Done.
Now when that specific administrator logs into their account at the video.ibm.com login page, they will see the specific account they have access to. Under channels, they will only see the channels and features they have been provided access to.
To log in, your new administrator will go to video.ibm.com and either select "Log in with your IBMid" or "Log in with your company account". This will depend on how your Organization SSO settings are configured. The administrator will select the appropriate Organization, and the appropriate account. Then, they will be able to select Channel, and see all of the channels they've been provided administrative access to.
Note: If you are the original owner of this Organization, you will need to log in with your IBMid to gain access.

A Banffshire and Buchan MSP has voiced his support for a docu-art installation at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary designed to boost organ donation and urging his constituents to sign up.
Stewart Stevenson praised the launch of the memorial to donors at ARI in the form of a documentary featuring donor families and those whose lives have changed after receiving a transplant.
Although the law on organ donation is changing in Scotland, Mr Stevenson is still urging people willing to donate to add their names to the register.
He said: "This is an innovative way to get the message across to the public how important organ donation is whilst commemorating those who became organ donors."

We are designing a microTCA module called the DTC (DAQ and Timing Card) for the HCAL SLHC readout. It is currently envisioned that this will occupy one of the MCH slots in a dual-star type crate. Initially we would build cards for MCH connectors 1 and 2, providing clock distribution on finger 2, and fast controls and trigger feedback on port 1 of fabric A on finger 1. * [[http://ohm.bu.edu/~hazen/CMS/SLHC/DTC_SPecification.pdf][DTC_SPecification.pdf]] – preliminary description – updated 5/17.09 * [[http://joule.bu.edu/~hazen/edf/PICMG/][PICMG standards]] – EDF only: username / password required * Documentation for !CorEdge mini uTCA systems we have 2 of * [[http://ohm.bu.edu/~hazen/DataSheets/MicroTCA/92-000038-000%20PICO-2UE%20Users%20Guide.pdf][System]] • [[http://ohm.bu.edu/~hazen/DataSheets/MicroTCA/92-000025-000%20Power%20Module%20Users%20Guide.pdf][Power Module]] * [[http://ohm.bu.edu/~hazen/CMS/SHTR/][SuperHTR Documentation]] (aka "miniCTR2" or "SHTR") * Vadatech VT891 μTCA crate specs – [[http://www.ecrin.com/datasheets/VADATECH/VT891Spec.pdf][Original]] or [[http://ohm.bu.edu/~hazen/DataSheets/MicroTCA/VT891Spec.pdf][Local copy]] ---+Design Thoughts *Clocking* – per AMC spec: | *Type * | *AMC Name* | * μTCA Name* | *Contacts* | *Direction* | |Telecom |TCLKA |CLK1 |74/75 |In to AMC | |Telecom |TCLKB |CLK2 |77/78 |Out from AMC | |Telecom |TCLKC |CLK3 |135/136 |In to AMC | |Telecom |TCLKD | |138/139 |Out from AMC | |Fabric |FCLKA | |80/81 |In to AMC | On the CTR2 FCLKA, TCLKA and TCLKC all enter an SN65LVDT125A LVDS crosspoint switch, and from there can be routed to the FPGA or links, possibly via an Si5319 frequency synthesizer. It is challenging to understand the AMC and µTCA clocking. My current understanding is that dual-star backplanes typically fanout one clock from each MCH to each AMC, and return one clock from each AMC to either MCH. This implies to me that we should use the single clock as a fixed-frequency link clock and that the LHC clock should be embedded in the stream sent on fabric port 1 from the MCH to the AMCs. ---+ Parts * [[http://www.harkis.harting.com/WebHelp/GbhHM/WebHelp/GBhHMTechnical_characteristics_for_Plug_Connectors.htm][Harting MCH connectors]] * [[http://ohm.bu.edu/~hazen/DataSheets/HP/HFBR-2316T.pdf][HFBR-2316T]] – TTC fiber receiver photo-diode * [[http://ohm.bu.edu/~hazen/DataSheets/Molex/747540101_sd.pdf][Molex 74754-0101]] – SFP+ optical transceiver cage -- Main.EricHazen - 03 Oct 2009

Question about Sharp Viewcam VL-A10U Camcorder
When I turned on my viewcam with power chord or even after a full charge I get 6 lateral lines dividing one scene and no sound whatsoever coming from the camera. I moved the volumn to max and still no sound. I used a head-cleaner and no luck. I let it play for awhile and the six lateral lines remained and once in awhile the picture will start doing a horizontal roll. Help me please! Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
Save hours of searching online or wasting money on unnecessary repairs by talking to a 6YA Expert who can help you resolve this issue over the phone in a minute or two.
Best thing about this new service is that you are never placed on hold and get to talk to real repairmen in the US.
Here's a link to this great service
Good luck!

SOURCE: Camcorder Error
Seen this error maybe a 100 times, nobody knows why it comes up or what does it mean. I suggest you go get a special alcohol to clean video heads, and swab at the head a few times. If it does no good, perhaps get on the phone with sharp and tell them there are plenty of people interested to know what exactly e007 means. Please post on any developments.

SOURCE: Flashing "DEW" Indicator shutting down the viewcam
I don't know if this will help, but when I leave the camera open with no tape in it for a day or so, "dew" goes away. Now I just store it open without a tape in it and have never had this problem again.
Hope this helps.
