Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the production of flexographic printing plates by imagewise exposure of a flexographic printing element, washing and drying, in which the drying is carried out essentially with the aid of radiation.
- the invention further relates to a particularly suitable for carrying out the method Flexo réelle- ckelement.
- a photopolymerizable film printing element can first be irradiated by a suitable, photographically or digitally prepared mask. After that, the unexposed, i. removed from uncrosslinked areas. This can be done for example with the aid of suitable solvents or solvent mixtures. Although the exposed, crosslinked areas are not dissolved in the course of the washout process, they swell up in the washout agent. Therefore, before use for printing, the flexographic printing plate must be carefully dried again.
- the drying is usually carried out at about 65 ° C in circulating air dryers. Recirculating air dryers are commercially available. In this case, the flexographic printing plate is dried in a heated stream of air. Depending on the plate thickness, the drying time in this conventional type of drying is between 2 and 4 hours. Drying is thus usually the most time-consuming step in the production of flexographic printing plates. This precludes immediate processing of print jobs using flexographic printing technology.
- the carrier in flexographic printing plates usually consists of a PET film. It is therefore not possible with such flexographic printing plates to increase the temperature to accelerate the drying, because otherwise the PET film can warp, and the printing plate is thus unusable. From WO 03/14831 has been proposed for newspaper flexographic printing plates, a metallic carrier and a thin only
- dyes to the relief layers of flexographic printing plates. These may in particular be dyes which absorb substantially in the spectral range between 300-400 nm. Examples of such dyes are disclosed in EP-A 553 662. By adding these absorbers, absorption of the light scattered in the non-image areas occurs, and polymerization into them Areas are thereby prevented. As a result, the intermediate depths of the negative elements remain open and the exposure latitude lengthens.
- dyes are also used which change color when exposed to actinic light, resulting in color change in the exposed areas of the printing form.

- so-called paraffinic solvates and specialty oils are commercially available under the names Shell Catenex S and Shell Catenex PH.
- a person skilled in the art distinguishes mineral oils from technical oils which may still have a very low aromatics content, as well as medicinal white oils which are substantially free of aromatics. They are commercially available.
- the amount of optional plasticizer will be determined by one skilled in the art according to the desired properties of the layer. However, it should generally not exceed 40% by weight with respect to the sum of all constituents of the photopolymerizable relief-forming layer.
- the relief-forming layer furthermore comprises at least one colorant which has absorption bands in the range from 450 to 1000 nm.
- the task of the dyestuff is to absorb the radiation used for drying the flexographic printing plate to such an extent that drying as fast as possible is made possible. On the other hand, it should not or at least not adversely affect the properties of the relief-forming layer to an unacceptable extent.
- at the dye may be a dye which is soluble in the relief-forming layer, or may also be a dye in the form of a pigment. Dyes which absorb in the visible region of the spectrum are naturally colored to a greater or lesser extent; dyes which absorb substantially in the NIR range generally have only a weak intrinsic color.
- the dye In the range of 300 to 400 nm, the dye should absorb as little as possible. This prevents interference in the photochemical crosslinking of the layer.
- the dye should have sufficient absorbency.
- the absorption capacity can be determined in a known manner by determining the molar extinction coefficient ⁇ m0 ⁇ .
- the dye in the range from 450 to 1000 nm should have at least one absorption band with an extinction coefficient ⁇ m0 ⁇ of at least 250 l / mol cm, even if the invention is not limited thereto .

- dyes in particular azo dyes, which have a maximum of absorption between 450 and 700 nm, preferably 550 to 650 nm, can be used particularly advantageously.
- the type of dye is not essential here, provided that it has the DF according to the invention and no negative properties are caused by the addition to the relief-forming layer.

- the photopolymerizable relief-forming layer can also be a plurality of photopolymerizable layers one above the other, which have the same, approximately the same or different composition.
- a multilayer structure has the advantage that the properties of the surface of the printing form, such as, for example, ink transfer, can be changed without influencing the flexotypic properties of the printing form, such as, for example, hardness or elasticity. Surface properties and layer properties can therefore be varied independently of one another in order to achieve an optimum printing result.
- the thickness of the relief-forming layer (s) is determined by the person skilled in the art depending on the desired intended use of the flexographic printing plate and is generally 0.5 to 7 mm, preferably 0.8 to 6 mm, particularly preferably 1 to 5.5 mm and for example 2 to 5 mm.

They also facilitate the placement and removal of the photographic negative for imaging.
- Substrate layers are formed by a tear-resistant film-forming polymer and any additives contained therein. Examples of suitable, tear-resistant films forming polymers are polyamides, fully or partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetates or polyethylene oxide / vinyl acetate graft polymers. In general, the substrate layers are 0.2 to 25 microns thick, preferably, the thickness is 2 to 20 microns.
- the flexographic printing element used as the starting material can be protected against damage by a protective film, for example a protective film made of PET, which is located on the respectively uppermost layer of the flexographic printing element, that is to say generally on the substrate layer. If the photosensitive flexographic printing element has a protective film, it must be stripped off before carrying out the process according to the invention.
- the preparation of the flexographic printing element according to the invention offers no particular features and can be carried out by kneading the components and forming the layer by pressing, by extrusion and calendering between carrier film and cover film or by pouring on the dissolved components Layer on the dimensionally stable carrier er ⁇ follow.

- the washed-out flexographic printing plate is dried.
- the drying takes place essentially with radiation in the VIS / NIR range.
- the term "essentially with radiation in the VIS / NIR range" in the sense of this invention is intended to mean that the introduction of energy for drying should take place primarily with the aid of radiation.
- the radiation is absorbed among other things by the added dye. Of course, other components of the layer can also absorb the radiation. As a result, energy is introduced substantially uniformly into the entire relief layer.
- the energy input follows a completely different mechanism.
- the surface of the flexographic printing plate is heated by means of a warm air stream and optionally supported by long-wave IR radiation. From the surface, the heat is introduced by dissipation into the entire relief layer. Since the thermal conductivity of polymers is comparatively poor, this process lasts accordingly.
- the essential part should be registered by radiation in the VIS / NIR range.
