Abstract:
An apparatus for the preparation of a printing plate comprising a layer of photo-sensitive liquid resin, wherein the improvement comprises an application means for laminating an anti-wrinkle plastic sheet on the resin surface upon being doctored and at the same speed with that of the doctor.

Abstract:
A photopolymerizable composition comprising: I. an unsaturated polyester having an average molecular weight of about 1,500 to 50,000, containing in the molecule at least one weight percent of a segment, measured from one ester bond to the next ester bond, having a molecular weight of about 80 to 5,000, and containing about 2 X 10 3 to 2 X 10 4 mole of ethylenic unsaturation per gram of unsaturated polyester; II. about 10 to 80 weight percent of at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer, different from the polyester (I), which is addition-copolymerizable with the polyester (I); and III. about 0.001 to 10 weight percent of a photopolymerization initiator. This photopolymerizable composition is disposed between two articles to be laminated, which articles have had their facing surfaces subjected to actinic radiation before photopolymerization, and then photopolymerized. The lamination may be of more than two articles, in which case the photopolymerizable composition is disposed between each adjacent pair of articles. The articles being laminated may be plastic, wood, metal, ceramic, stone, glass, etc.
