PRINTING FORM PRECURSOR HAVING INDICIA, AND METHOD FOR PREPARING PRINTING FORM FROM PRECURSOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printing form precursor having an indicia, and a method for preparing a printing form from the precursor.SOLUTION: The present invention relates to a photosensitive printing form precursor, and a method for forming a printing form from the precursor. The precursor includes a support and a photosensitive composition layer adjacent to the support, where at least one indicia is disposed between the support and the photosensitive layer. The indicia identifies the precursor, and is retained throughout a multi-step process to convert the precursor into a printing form and in the end-use of the printing form.
