IMAGING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MAKING FLEXOGRAPHIC PRINTING MATTERS

摘要

A method for making a flexographic printing master including: a first step of providing a flexographic printing support (1); a second step of applying image wise with a first resolution a layer of a radiation curable liquid (2) partially covering the printing side of the support; a third step of flood exposing the applied radiation curable layer to fully cure the layer; and a fourth step of image wise laser engraving the cured layer with a second resolution (3) which is higher than the resolution of the second step. An imaging apparatus for performing the above method is also disclosed.
