Abstract
A method for the production of flexographic printing forms by means of laser engraving, wherein at least one elastomer relief layer is applied to a dimensionally-stable carrier. The relief layer comprises at least one elastomer binding agent and at least one absorber for laser radiation; the relief layer is entirely cross-linked by means of electron radiation at a minimum overall dose of 40 kGy; a printed relief is engraved into the cross-linked relief layer by means of a laser. The invention also relates to flexographic printing forms which can be obtained according to said method.
