Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for making a flexographic printing master includes the steps of providing a flexographic printing support; applying image-wise on the flexographic printing support subsequent layers of radiation curable liquid by an inkjet printing device whereby one or more applied layers are immobilized using a curing device before one or more subsequent layers are applied, such that a relief with a top hat profile is obtained; and grinding the relief so that the height DT of a top hat segment is reduced. An imaging apparatus includes structure to perform the above method.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An imaging apparatus for making a flexographic printing master, the imaging apparatus comprising: a rotatable drum arranged to hold a flexographic printing support; an inkjet printing device and a curing device arranged to print and cure, respectively, a relief with a top hat profile on the flexographic printing support; and an engraving device configured to engrave a printing surface of the relief with the top hat profile; wherein the engraving…
