Abstract: An apparatus for laminating a laminating film to a substrate and a method of using the same is described. The apparatus comprises a) a heated laminating roller and a second roller, wherein said heated laminating roller and said second roller are opposably mounted and form a nip therebetween for receiving the substrate to be laminated; b) a drive mechanism for rotating the heated laminating roller and second roller; c) a laminating film supply roller adapted to support a ran of laminating film and supply the laminating film over an outer surface of the heated laminating roller and into the nip, and d) a splitter bar positioned at a suitable location between the laminating film supply roller and the heated laminating roller and in contact with the laminating film supplied from the supply roller.

Abstract: An inkjet printer is used to apply an ink that is substantially opaque to actinic radiation in at least one wavelength region effective to cure the photosensitive printing plate to the edges and corners, of a printing plate after the plate has been trimmed (i.e., cut) to a suitable size and shape for mounting on a printing sleeve or cylinder. Use of inkjet printing allows for the cut surfaces of the plate to quickly and accurately be coated with a UV-opaque ink and prevents, or substantially eliminates, undesirable curing of cut surfaces of a photosensitive printing plate. The ink covers the photocurable surfaces exposed by the cutting process and prevents the cut surfaces of the printing plate from undesirably curing until proper exposure and development of the printing plate.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the manufacture of "seamless" photosensitive printing elements from substantially planar printing plate blanks wrapped around cylindrical printing sleeves or carriers. The method comprises the steps of cutting a photosensitive printing element to a size for wrapping around a printing sleeve, trimming ends of the photosensitive printing element to create a gap when the printing element is wrapped around the printing sleeve, attaching the photosensitive printing element to the printing sleeve and filling the gap between the ends of the photosensitive printing element with a filler material.

Abstract: A method of creating a digital mask in situ for use in a process of making digital flexographic printing elements. The digital mask is created by laminating the negative image that is the by-product of a thermal proofer to a photosensitive printing plate. Thereafter, the photosensitive printing element can be imaged, exposed, and developed in the usual manner.

Abstract: An automated method of preventing edge curing of cut surfaces of photosensitive printing elements is disclosed. Once a photosensitive printing element is cut in a pattern of a desired size and shape, a portion of the coversheet on a periphery of the cut edges of the printing plate is removed, while leaving intact the layer of photocurable material and the optional ablation layer beneath the coversheet. Next, an edge cure prevention composition is applied to the optional ablation layer or the layer of photocurable material revealed by the removal of the portion of the coversheet. Once the edge cure prevention composition is dried, the remainder of the coversheet may be removed from the photosensitive printing element and the printing element may be mounted on a sleeve or cylindrical carrier for further processing. The method ensures that the edge cure prevention composition is applied only to areas where it is needed and does not affect imageable areas of the printing plate.

Abstract: An edge-covering composition for covering the cut surfaces of a photosensitive printing element to prevent premature curing of the cut surfaces during a process of manufacturing the printing element. The edge-covering composition is an emulsion comprising one or more emulsifiers, one or more-ultraviolet radiation-absorbing materials, optionally, a coloring agent, and optionally, one or more additional additives. The emulsion compositions are easy to apply, non-toxic, inexpensive, and are largely compatible with the solvents used to wash uncured photopolymer from the printing elements during processing.
