Abstract

High-quality composite printing elements are prepared without the need for precise registration of constituent photocurable elements by disposing at least one photocurable element, and preferably a plurality of photocurable elements, upon a surface of a printing element in approximate register and then transferring a computer-generated negative onto a surface of the elemen ts.

Claims (40)

1. A method for preparing a composite printing element, comprising the steps of:
transferring registration information to an outer face of a printing element;
disposing a first face of at least one solid photocurable element comprising photocurable material and having first and second opposing major faces of defined surface area upon said printing element in accordance with said registration information transferred to said printing element, wherein a photoablatable mask layer is disposed upon said second opposing major face of said solid photocurable element; and transferring graphic data to said second opposing major face of said solid photocurable element by photoablating said photoablatable mask layer with a laser, thereby providing ablated and unablated areas forming an image, said ablated areas exposing said second opposing major face of said solid photocurable element.
2. Cancel.
3. Cancel.
4. The method of claim 1 further comprising the steps of:
exposing said ablated areas of said solid photocurable element to actinic radiation effective to cure said exposed photocurable material within said photocurable element; and removing uncured photocurable material under said unablated areas of said photoablatable mask layer from said element.
5. Cancel.
6. Cancel.
7. The method of claim 1 wherein said photocurable material is disposed upon a support layer.
8. The method of claim 1 wherein said photocurable material comprises an elastomer compound, an ethylenically unsaturated compound having at least one terminal ethylenic group, and a photoinitiator.
9. The method of claim 1 wherein said photocurable element is disposed upon said printing element through use of an adhesive.
10. Cancel.
11. The method of claim 1 wherein said registration information is transferred by disposing a visually perceptible material on said first face of said printing element.
12. The method of claim 11 wherein said visually perceptible material is disposed using an ink jet printer.
13. The method of claim 1 wherein said registration information is transferred by scoring said first face of said printing element.
14. A composite printing elements comprising at least one photocurable element disposed on a first surface of a printing element, said photocurable element including:
a support layer;
photocurable material disposed upon said support layer; and negative-forming ink disposed upon said photocurable material, said ink being substantially opaque to actinic radiation in at least one wavelength region effective to cure said photocurable material and substantially resistant to polymerization upon exposure to actinic radiation in said wavelength region.
15. The composite element of claim 14 wherein said photocurable material comprises an elastomer compound, an ethylenically unsaturated compound having at least one terminal ethylenic group, and a photoinitiator.
16. The composite element of claim 14 further comprising a transparent protective layer disposed upon said photocurable material between said ink and said photocurable material.
17. A composite printing elements comprising at least one photocurable element disposed on a first surface of a printing element, said photocurable element including:
a support layer;
photocurable material disposed upon said support layer; and a photoablatable mask layer disposed upon said photocurable material, said photoablatable mask layer being substantially opaque to actinic radiation in at least one wavelength region effective to cure said photocurable material and substantially resistant to polymerization upon exposure to actinic radiation in said wavelength region.
18. A method for preparing a composite printing elements, comprising the steps of:

transferring registration information to an outer face of a substantially arcuate printing element;

disposing a first face of at least one solid photocurable element comprising photocurable material having first and second opposing major faces of defined surface area upon said substantially arcuate printing element in accordance with said registration information transferred to said substantially arcuate printing element; and transferring graphic data to said second opposing major face of said solid photocurable element.
19. The method of claim 18 wherein said second face of said solid photocurable element is a photoablatable mask layer.
20. The method of claim 19 wherein said transferring graphic data step comprises photoablating said photoablatable mask layer with a laser, thereby providing ablated and unablated areas forming an image, said ablated areas exposing said second opposing major face of said solid photocurable element.
21. The method of claim 20 further comprising the steps of:
exposing said ablated areas of said solid photocurable element to actinic radiation effective to cure said exposed photocurable material within said photocurable element; and removing uncured photocurable material under said unablated areas of said photoablatable mask layer from said element.
22. The method of claim 18 wherein said transferring graphic data step comprises ejecting a negative-forming ink from an ink jet print head onto said second face of said solid photocurable element thereby providing a negative image, said ink being substantially opaque to actinic radiation in at least one wavelength region effective to cure photocurable material within said element and substantially resistant to polymerization upon exposure to actinic radiation in said wavelength region.
23. The method of claim 22 further comprising the steps of:
exposing said negative image to actinic radiation effective to cure said exposed photocurable material within said photocurable element; and removing uncured solid photocurable material and said unablated areas of said photoablatable mask layer from said element.

28. The method of claims 20 or 22 wherein said element is disposed upon said substantially arcuate printing element through use of an adhesive.
29. The method of claim 22 wherein said wavelength region is from about 300 to about 400 nm.
30. The method of claim 22 wherein said ink is ejected from said print head by actuating control means electrically coupled with said print head.
31. The method of claims 20 or 22 wherein said registration information is transferred by disposing a visually perceptible material on said outer surface of said substantially arcuate printing element.
32. Cancel.
33. The method of claims 20 or 22 wherein said registration information is transferred by scoring said first face of said printing element.
34. The method of claims 20 or 22 wherein said registration information is transferred by shining light on said first face of said substantially arcuate printing element.
35. The method of claims 20 or 22 wherein the substantially arcuate printing element has inner and outer opposing major faces of defined surface area, said outer opposing major face having a greater surface area than said inner opposing major face.
36. The method of claims 20 or 22 wherein said registration information comprises an image corresponding to an outline of at least one photocurable element.
