Abstract
A printing system which uses a single layer printing member coated on to a cylinder is provided. For waterless offset application, the single layer printing member consists of an oleophobic imaging layer containing an oleophobic resin, coated on an oleophillic cylinder. For wet application, the single layer may either be hydrophilic, coated on a oleophillic cylinder; or vice versa. The single layer printing member is composed of a resin having either oleophobic, hydrophilic or oleophillic properties, to which an infra red absorbing component or components may be added.
