Recently, the so-called "flexo CTP (Computer to Plate) method" has been developed. In this method, a thin, light absorption layer called "Black layer" is formed on the surface of a photosensitive resin plate, and the resultant resin plate is irradiated with a laser to ablate (evaporate) desired portions of the black layer to form a mask bearing an image (formed by the unablated portions of the black layer) on the resin plate directly without separately perparing a mask. Subsequently, the resultant resin plate is imagewise exposed to light through the mask, to thereby crosslink the exposed portions of the resin, followed by developing treatment in which the unexposed portions of the resin (i.e., uncrosslinked resin portions) are washed away with a developing liquid. 4, record 8, English, - black%20layer

The natural surface of the photopolymer flexographic plate is smooth and non-porous. Ink does not lie uniformly on this surface. Printing a good solid requires more ink and pressure than necessary. Excessive ink and pressure are the basis for most of flexo's printing problems. Cells in the plates significantly reduce the need for excessive ink and printing impression, and hence provide for a system more conducive to optimum print quality. 4, record 10, English, - photopolymer%20flexo%20printing%20plate

When ink is transferred from the smooth, non-porous surface of the photopolymer flexo printing plate to the smooth surface of many substrates, it has a natural tendency to bead up, form liquid clumps and "river," similar to the way rain droplets gather and trickle around on fresh asphalt. 5, record 10, English, - photopolymer%20flexo%20printing%20plate

The Adless digital engraving technology is an endless photopolymer sleeve for digital engraving. This is the first time that a high quality material has been able to be continually coated onto a sleeve/cylinder in a short time. The sleeve coating system is flexible, enabling the user to process sleeves in many different circumference, widths and thicknesses. The CTSS [computer to seamless sleeve] plate making process is the latest Asahi technology to impact on the sleeve market. This process uses conventional photopolymer plates and, via a manufacturing process, creates a seamless photopolymer sleeve. This sleeve is then coated with a black mask layer to produce a digital photopolymer sleeve that can be imaged on a conventional flexo CTP [computer-to-plate] device. 3, record 11, English, - endless%20photopolymer%20sleeve
