Abstract
An apparatus for exposing a printing plate including at least a front source array of LEDs that emits a radiation field incident on the front side of the plate and a back source array of LEDs that emits a radiation field incident on the back side of the plate. A controller connected to the front source and the back source causes movement of at least the front radiation field relative to the plate fixed on a substrate that receives the printing plate in a fixed configuration between the front source and the back source. The apparatus commences a first exposure step of one side of the plate with one of the sources and then a second exposure step of the opposite side of the plate with the other source, imposing a user-definable time delay (t) between commencing the first exposure step and commencing the second exposure step.
