A method of making a flexographic printing sleeve forme comprising the steps of:
(i) formation of a sleeve body by providing one or more at least partially cured uniform layers on a sleeve carrier;
(ii) formation of a relief image on said sleeve body by imagewise jetting a curable jetting fluid;
(iii) optionally overall post-curing;
characterized in that between formation of the sleeve body and formation of the relief image no polishing or grinding is performed.
