- the invention further relates to flexographic printing plates, which are obtainable by the method.
- the direct laser engraving has opposite the conventional production of flexographic printing plates several advantages.
- the flank shape of the individual can be Customize relief elements in laser engraving technology. While in photopolymer plates the flanks of a relief point continuous from the surface to the relief ground diverge, can also laser engraved one in the top Area perpendicular or almost vertical sloping flank, extending widened, engraved only in the lower area. Consequently It also comes with increasing wear of the plate during the Printing process to no or at most a slight dot gain. Further details on the technique of laser engraving are For example, shown in "Technique of flexographic printing", p. 173 ff., 4. Ed., 1999, Coating Verlag, St. Gallen, Switzerland.

- the quality of the laser-engraved flexographic printing elements was with Assessed the help of a light microscope, which has a device for measuring distances or heights and depths.
- the engraving depth was based on the entire area engraved area measured. Furthermore, each of the finest line element determined, in which the engraved individual lines under the microscope were still completely separated from each other. The individual lines were considered completely separate from each other assessed resolved when the surface of the between the negative lines remaining positive line elements have a width of had at least 5 microns and this surface except for a difference of 20 microns the same height possessed as the non-engraved areas the positive full surface. In this type of assessment means a low number of the number of the finest still pictured Line element therefore a good engraving quality while a high number of lower resolution and thus one worse engraving quality corresponds.
- melt edges and deposits in the peripheral zones of the negative elements and solid surfaces were assessed visually.
