<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printing form and a process for preparing the printing form with a curable composition having a bisphenol-based epoxy resin. <P>SOLUTION: The process prepares a printing form from a curable composition that includes: a bisphenol-based epoxy resin; an amine curing agent selected from primary amines and secondary amines, the agent having an amine-equivalent weight of less than or equal to 200 g/equivalent; and, a multi-epoxy reactive diluent. The process includes the steps of: applying the curable composition to a supporting substrate to form a layer; curing the layer at one or more temperatures in a temperature range; and engraving to form at least one cell in the cured layer. The process prepares printing forms, particularly gravure printing forms, having a cured resin composition layer that is engravable, resistant to solvent inks and to mechanical wear, and capable of printing gravure-quality images. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
