An imaging printing form having a base body with an elastomeric coating, in which the elastomeric coating carries an engraving pattern. The elastomeric coating has a hard rubber with a hardness of greater than 40 Shore D, and more particularly greater than 70 Shore D. The hard rubber is based on butadiene-acrylonitrile rubber (NBR), carboxyl group-containing nitrile rubber (XNBR), hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene Rubber (HNBR) or combinations thereof.

Image-providing printing forme, and method for producing a printing forme

A printing sleeve includes a first and radially inward layer having an inner side for directly contacting the outer side of a printing cylinder, and an outer side which is radially opposite the inner side. The first and radially inward layer has a glass fiber reinforced compressible compound such that the glass fibers may absorb the forces that arise in the circumferential direction and/or in the longitudinal direction, and the compressible compound elements may absorb the pressures that arise in the radial direction. In this way, the materials which to date act separately in the base sleeve and the compressible layer are combined in one common layer in which said materials each may perform their function.
