Abstract

Improved waterless lithographic printing masters are provided having minimum background ink reflection density. The master comprises a crosslinked block copolymer containing elastomeric, ink releasing siloxane blocks chemically linked to organic image accepting thermoplastic blocks, said copolymer having a molecular weight for the organic blocks sufficient to provide strength and a background ink reflection density of less than 0.02 and preferably less than 0.01.
