Method for producing flexo printing forms by means of laser direct engraving

摘要

Flexographic printing plates are produced by means of direct laser engraving by a process in which the starting material used is a flexographic printing element, the relief-forming layer of which has a combination of a substantially hydrophobic, elastomeric binder and an inert plasticizer. Flexographic printing plates obtainable by this process are used for flexographic printing with water-based or alcohol-based printing inks.
