RELIEF PRINTING PLATE PRECURSOR FOR LASER ENGRAVING, PROCESS FOR MAKING RELIEF PRINTING PLATE, AND RELIEF PRINTING PLATE

摘要

A relief printing plate precursor for laser engraving is provided that includes above a support, as a crosslinked relief-forming layer, a thermally crosslinked layer of a resin composition for laser engraving that includes (Component A) a compound containing a hydrolyzable silyl group and/or a silanol group and that does not include (Component B) a binder polymer or includes it at less than 2 wt % relative to the total weight on a non-volatile component basis. There are also provided a process for making a relief printing plate that includes a step of preparing the relief printing plate precursor for laser engraving and a step of forming a relief layer by laser-engraving the crosslinked relief-forming layer, and a relief printing plate that includes a relief layer formed by the process for making a relief printing plate.
