Abstract:
The present invention provides a flexographic printing plate in which the problem of ink entanglement, i.e., the direct connection of ink on a dot convex part to ink on an adjacent dot convex part, is reduced. A flexographic printing plate obtained from a flexographic printing plate precursor comprising at least a support (A), a photosensitive resin layer (B) and a heat-sensitive mask layer (C) which are laminated in this order, wherein, on a surface of the printing plate, there are provided dot convex parts, a dot valley part formed between the dot convex parts, and a floor part, and wherein a side surface of the dot valley part and the floor part have been subjected to the same finishing exposure treatment and the same exposure treatment using a germicidal lamp, characterized in that the adhesion force of the floor part on the printing plate is 2.0 N/mm2 or less.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a photosensitive resin composition for a relief printing original plate which can achieve both of a printing reproducibility of gradation of a highlight part and a printing durability, and can further achieve a low plate surface tackiness. A photosensitive resin composition for a relief printing original plate containing water-soluble or water-dispersible polyamide, a photopolymerizable unsaturated compound and a photopolymerization initiator as essential ingredients, characterized in that a total of a content of an alicyclic structural unit obtained from diamine and a content of an alicyclic structural unit obtained from dicarboxylic acid in the polyamide is 30 to 90 molar %, and the content of the alicyclic structural unit obtained from dicarboxylic acid in the polyamide is 20 molar % or more.
Abstract:
A photosensitive resin composition for CTP flexographic printing original plate containing at least a hydrophobic polymer obtained from water-dispersible latex (A), a hydrophilic polymer (B), a photopolymerizable unsaturated compound (C), a photopolymerization initiator (D), and if necessary, rubber (E), characterized in that, the photopolymerizable unsaturated compound (C) comprises a photopolymerizable oligomer containing no hydroxyl group (C-1), a hydroxyl group-containing photopolymerizable monomer having a pentaerythritol skeleton, a dipentaerythritol skeleton or a glycerol skeleton (C-2) and, optionally, a photopolymerizable monomer containing no hydroxyl group (C-3). The content of the hydroxyl group-containing photopolymerizable monomer (C-2) is 1 to 20% by mass of the photosensitive resin composition. The content of the rubber (E) is preferably 0.5 to 15% by mass of the photosensitive resin composition.

The present invention provides a CTP photosensitive flexographic printing original plate which causes no printing blur while the conventional printing durability, developing property and image-reproducing property are still maintained.A photosensitive resin composition for CTP flexographic printing original plate containing at least a hydrophobic polymer obtained from water-dispersible latex (A), a hydrophilic polymer (B), a photopolymerizable unsaturated compound (C), a photopolymerization initiator (D), and if necessary, rubber (E), characterized in that, the photopolymerizable unsaturated compound (C) comprises a photopolymerizable oligomer containing no hydroxyl group (C-1), a hydroxyl group-containing photopolymerizable monomer having a pentaerythritol skeleton, a dipentaerythritol skeleton or a glycerol skeleton (C-2) and, optionally, a photopolymerizable monomer containing no hydroxyl group (C-3). The content of the hydroxyl group-containing photopolymerizable monomer (C-2) is 1 to 20% by mass of the photosensitive resin composition. The content of the rubber (E) is preferably 0.5 to 15% by mass of the photosensitive resin composition.
