Compatible, aqueous developable photopolymerizable composition consisting essentially of (a) 22 to 32% by wt. of a monomeric compound having at least two terminal ethylenic groups, (b) 0.1 to 5.0% by wt of a photoinitiator or initiator system, (c) 40 to 80% by wt of a binder system which is the reaction product of (1) 65 to 87 parts by wt of a terpolymer of methylmethacrylate, butylmethacrylate and methacrylic acid as defined, (2) 5 to 20 parts by wt of a polyamide resin and (3) 5 to 20 parts by wt of a copolymer of vinyl pyrrolidone and vinyl acetate, (d) 0.03 to 0.10% by wt of a thermal polymerization inhibitor, and optionally up to 18% by wt of a plasticizer and up to 2.0% by wt of a tertiary amine capable of salt formation with a carboxylic acid. Aqueous developable photopolymerizable elements comprise a support bearing a layer of the composition. Relief printing plates can be prepared by imagewise exposing and developing the elements. |
