Abstract: A printing form attachment device is provided for removably attaching a flexographic printing form made of a photopolymeric material by adhesion on a plate cylinder of a printing press. The printing form attachment device includes a completely exposed photopolymeric printing form attachment layer (3) made of a photopolymeric material located on the plate cylinder (7) for removable adherent attachment of the printing form to the plate cylinder utilizing the adherent and sticky characteristics of the photopolymeric material. A flexible support layer (2) is provided which supports the photopolymeric printing form attachment layer (3).
