Abstract:
1. A digital imaging photopolymerization system for providing a cross-linked photopolymerized liquid transfer article for use in graphic arts reproduction, said system comprising: a support assembly adapted to receive at least a first layer of a cross-linkable liquid photopolymer; a light source for irradiating said cross-linkable liquid photopolymer layer, said light source and said support assembly are adapted to be held stationary at least during the formation of the cross-linked photopolymerized liquid transfer article; a mirror-type spatial light modulator disposed between said light source and said support assembly, said modulator reflects light from said light source in full frame image pattern toward said support assembly; and a microprocessor connected to at least said mirror-type spatial light modulator for controlling its operation such that a cross-linked full frame imaged surface corresponding to the full image pattern is formed in the cross-linkable liquid photopolymer layer in one step and without a mask while said light source and support assembly are stationary, said imaged surface being suitable for graphic arts reproduction applications.
