A light-shielding screen comprising a light non-transmitting, photocured resin composition layer and a plurality of hollow portions having their respective upper and lower openings and passing through said composition layer, the hollow portions each having an inner wall extending from the circumference of each upper opening to the circumference of each lower opening substantially in parallel with the axis of said hollow portion. Such light-shielding screen is produced by image-wise exposing a layer of a photocurable resin composition to actinic radiation through an image-bearing transparancy to convert the layer to a modified layer having photocured portions and a plurality of uncured portions and then removing the uncured portions by means of a developer to form hollow portions passing through the modified layer and having their respective upper and lower openings. The present light-shielding screen can effectively shield extraneous light rays without deteriorating the image from an image-indicating device

Light-shielding screen and a process for producing the same

A novel process for producing a polymeric image, which comprises the steps of:

Process for producing polymeric image and photosensitive element therefor

Process for producing polymeric image by diffusion step

Original plates for producing dry planographic printing plates comprising (a) a support, and over and in contact with the support, (b) a light-sensitive adhesive layer made of a photopolymerizable composition comprising one or more photopolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated compounds and one or more photopolymerization initiators and overlying said light-sensitive adhesive layer, (c) a light-sensitive ink-repellent layer made of a silicone composition comprising one or more silicones, one or more photopolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated compounds and one or more photopolymerization initiators. Dry planographic printing plates can be produced from the original plates by image-wise exposing to actinic light and developing.

Dry planographic plate with light sensitive silicone composition

A printing plate comprising a support, reliefs formed thereon as an image area, and from about 20 to about 4,000/cm.sup.2 small projections thereon in non-image areas, the height of the reliefs being at least 0.05 mm larger than that of the small projections, and a method for making a printing plate which comprises:

Printing plate and method for forming the same having small projections

A printing plate comprising a support, reliefs formed thereon as an image area, and from about 20 to about 4,000/cm.sup.2 small projections thereon in non-image areas, the height of the reliefs being at least 0.05 mm larger than that of the small projections, and a method for making a printing plate which comprises: A. superimposing a photosensitive resin layer having a thickness of at least 0.06 mm on a support, which is at least semi-transparent to actinic light, in intimate contact therewith; B. exposing the resulting assembly to actinic light through an image-bearing transparency from the side of the photosensitive resin layer; C. exposing the assembly to actinic light through a dot-image-bearing transparency having a transparent halftone dot area in a proportion of 1 to 40% from the side of the support to thereby form reliefs on the support, as image areas, and a number of small projections having a height of at least 0.01 mm and being lower than the height of reliefs, in non-image areas, wherein steps (b) and (c) may be conducted in the order: (b) and then (c); or (c) and then (b); or simultaneously.
