Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus for drying photosensitive sheets, which have already been exposed to light and washed out, for the production of printing plates. According to the invention, a drying chamber is combined with a post-exposure device, the drying chamber and post-exposure device preferably being separated by a partition which transmits actinic light rays. The apparatus according to the invention can be used with advantage in the production of printing plates with photosensitive layers, particularly because it can considerably shorten the times hitherto required for the production of the plates.
