Abstract:
     A process is disclosed for the solvent-less development and production of flexographic printing plates. Relatively thin metal backed printing plate elements with a layer of photopolymer are selectively exposed to actinic radiation heated to at least 70 DEG C and then blotted to form a relief image. The process is particularly suited to the production of flexographic printing plates for printing newspapers and other publications.
