Abstract: A method of controlling surface roughness of a flexographic printing element during thermal processing. The printing blank comprises at least one photocurable layer on a support layer, the at least one photocurable layer comprising: (1) a binder comprising styrene-butadiene-styrene; (2) at least one fast curing monomer; (3) at least one slow curing monomer; and (4) a photoinitiator. The printing blank is selectively imagewise exposing the printing plate blank to actinic radiation from the top of the printing element blank to selectively crosslink and cure portions of the at least one photocurable layer and then thermally processed to remove uncured portions of the at least one photocurable layer, thereby revealing the relief image in the at least one photocurable layer. Surface roughness of the relief image printing element after thermal processing is controlled to less than about 1,000 nm.

Abstract: An edge-covering composition for covering the cut surfaces of a photosensitive printing element to prevent premature curing of the cut surfaces during a process of manufacturing the printing element. The edge-covering composition is an emulsion comprising one or more emulsifiers, one or more-ultraviolet radiation-absorbing materials, optionally, a coloring agent, and optionally, one or more additional additives. The emulsion compositions are easy to apply, non-toxic, inexpensive, and are largely compatible with the solvents used to wash uncured photopolymer from the printing elements during processing.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and a system for forming a relief image on a photosensitive printing element. The system comprises an enclosure housing a conveyor and a heatable roller. The photosensitive printing element is positioned on a continuous loop of the conveyor and the heatable roller is urged towards the photosensitive printing element on the conveyor. An absorbent material is conducted over the heatable roller and is used to absorb at least a portion of the liquefied or softened material from the photosensitive printing element when the heatable roller is heated. The system also comprises ventilation means operatively connected to the enclosure for treating and recycling air containing contaminants that are released into the enclosure as the portion of the photosensitive material is heated and then softens. The ventilation means typically include a particulate filter and a bed of adsorbent material. The treated air may then be returned to the enclosure.

Abstract: The photosensitive printing element of the invention comprises a hollow cylindrical support layer (2), at least one layer of photopolymerizable material (3), and a masking layer (4). Portions of the masking layer are removed by laser radiation. The layer of photopolymerizable material (3) is then exposed to actinic radiation through the hollow cylindrical support layer (2) to create a floor layer of polymerized material. Next, the sleeve is exposed to actinic radiation to polymerize portions of the layer of photopolymerizable material (3) revealed during removal of the masking layer (4). The photosensitive printing element is then developed to remove the masking layer (4) and unpolymerized portions of the layer of photopolymerizable material (3) to create the relief image. The source(s) of actinic radiation may also be collimated so that the actinic radiation strikes the surface of photosensitive printing sleeve at an angle that is substantially perpendicular to the surface of the photosensitive printing element at the point of impact.
