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.

Printing sleeve and method for producing a printing sleeve

The invention is directed to a method for grinding a printing form in the area of flexographic or relief printing wherein the material to be ground is an elastomer material or an elastomer-containing material. A feed or first speed (v) is imparted to the material to be ground. The material is grindingly abraded with a grinding belt or grinding paper moving at a second speed (V) at least five times greater than the first speed (v).
