Patent ID: 7625959

Claim:
A curable jettable liquid for manufacturing a flexographic printing plate comprising at least one photo-initiator, at least one monofunctional monomer, at least 5 wt % of a polyfunctional monomer or oligomer and at least 5 wt % of a plasticizer both based on the total weight of the curable jettable liquid, said curable jettable liquid being capable of realizing a layer after curing having an elongation at break of at least 5%, a storage modulus E′ smaller than 200 MPa at 30 Hz and a volumetric shrinkage smaller than 10%, wherein said polyfunctional monomer or oligomer is an urethane diacrylate, and wherein said curable jettable liquid contains at least one monomer or oligomer with at least one acid functional group.
