Abstract: Provided is a washing device that has a small device configuration, is excellent in maintainability, and further has a high productivity. The washing device performs development using a washing solution while transporting an imagewise exposed flexographic printing plate precursor. The washing device has a transporting unit that transports the flexographic printing plate precursor along a transport path having a curved transport passage and a linear transport passage, using a leader and a developing portion that performs development by removing an unexposed portion of the flexographic printing plate precursor. The transporting unit transports the flexographic printing plate precursor using a winding transmission method or transports the flexographic printing plate precursor using a method of winding a traction member provided at the leader.

Abstract: There is provided an applicator that applies a coating liquid onto the upper surface of a web, and an application method which are capable of sufficiently enhancing the evenness of a coating surface. The applicator includes: a bar which rotates while coming into contact with the upper surface of the continuously travelling web via the coating liquid; and a barrier plate which is provided on an upstream side of the bar in a travelling direction of the web and allows the coating liquid to flow in a direction toward the web between the barrier plate and the bar, in which, when a distance between the barrier plate and an end edge portion of the bar, which is closest to the barrier plate, is referred to as A and a distance between the barrier plate and the web is referred to as B, A is 0.5 mm to 5 mm, B is 0.5 mm to 5 mm, and B≤A is satisfied.
