  • Compressible plate for flexographic printing, and process for obtaining
    Patent number: 7785431
    Abstract: The invention concerns a compressible plate for flexographic printing, designed to be positioned on a support cylinder of a printing machine. The invention is characterized in that said plate (1) comprises a photopolymer layer (10) and a compressible layer (11) made of a material exhibiting voids forming between 10 and 60% by volume of said compressible layer, the material comprising at least 70% by weight of a polymer or a mixture of polymers chemically compatible with the photopolymer.

  • Machine for insulating and cooling photopolymer plates for flexographic printing
    Patent number: 5983800
    Abstract: An improved machine for insolating photopolymer plates and comprising a device secured sidewise onto the frame and delivering a flow of cooling air tangentially to the top part of the frame of the machine to avoid the formation of defects on the photosensitive polymer plate disposed upon the top part of the frame, in view of the energy radiated by the ultraviolet source insolating the plate, the machine permitting the insolation of photopolymer plates for flexographic printing.
