Abstract
A printing plate formed of a thermoplastic resin sheet for gravure printing has the holes corresponding to pixels of image information arranged in rows and columns, with the rows being at an angle to the bottom edge of the sheet. The holes in the rows are aligned in columns and adjacent columns are offset by one half of one pixel. Slots are provided next to each hole to prevent ink from smearing between adjacent holes in the columns.
