Claim One:
1. A method for forming a flexographic plate comprising: providing an image pattern including image features to be formed on the flexographic plate, the image pattern including an array of image pixels, wherein the image pixels include printing pixels corresponding to portions of the image pattern where ink is to be printed on a substrate by the flexographic plate; identifying edge regions of the image features; identifying interior regions of the image features; wherein the edge regions and the interior regions are separated by gap regions; providing a fine texture pattern; providing a coarse texture pattern; applying the fine texture pattern to the edge regions of the image features and applying the coarse texture pattern to the interior regions of the image features to form a textured image pattern, wherein no texture pattern is applied to the gap regions thereby leaving gaps between the edge regions and the interior regions of the image features; and forming a flexographic plate using the textured image pattern.
