Abstract
A method for preparing a flexographic printing precursor is carried out by forming a laser-engravable composition in a layer. This laser-engravable composition has one or more EPDM elastomeric rubbers, at least one of which comprises at least 8 weight % polyene recurring units. This laser-engravable composition of elastomeric rubbers can be quickly crosslinked using sulfur-containing vulcanizing compositions to provide laser-engravable compositions and layers in the flexographic printing plate precursors that can be laser-engraved to provide relief images for flexographic printing.
