Abstract
Flexible printing plates are produced from printing plates consisting essentially of a dimensionally stable substrate (1) and a recording layer (2) by a process in which the printing plate is produced alternatively either by photochemical or by mechanical structuring, and in the case of photochemical structuring the photosensitive recording layer (2) is exposed imagewise and the unexposed parts of the recording layer (2) are washed out with a developer and in the case of mechanical structuring the originally photosensitive, uniformly exposed recording layer (2) is cut imagewise and the nonprinting parts of the recording layer (2) are peeled off from the substrate (1). The printing plates produced by this process are suitable for the production of products printed by the flexographic method and for lacquering products printed by the offset method.
