An image setting apparatus (10) produces an image on a flexible section of imageable material. The apparatus includes a retainer (12) for retaining the flexible section in a cylindrical configuration about a cylinder axis. An imageable surface of the section faces inwardly toward the axis. The apparatus (10) includes an imaging source (56) for selectively exposing the inwardly-facing imageable surface to produce the image. The retainer includes a plurality of arced supports (16,18) spaced from each other along the axis. Each support has a curved surface segment (20) for physical contact with an outwardly-facing surface of the section. Without the use of a complete cylinder holder, friction between the imageable material and the arced supports is reduced.
