Abstract:
The invention relates to a laser-ablatable mask film for the exposing of relief printing plates and screen printing stencils, comprising at least (i) a dimensionally stable base sheet, (ii) a UV-transparent adhesion layer, and (iii) a laser-ablatable mask layer, characterized in that the laser-ablatable mask layer (iii) comprises a) a binder comprising a crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol, b) a material which absorbs UV/VIS light and IR light, and c) optionally an inorganic filler.

Claim (Index 26):
A method for producing a flexographic clich\u00e9, comprising the steps of\n (i) digital imaging by laser ablation of the mask film as defined in  claim 15 , (ii) placing or laminating the digitally imaged mask film onto the flexographic printing plate that is to be exposed, (iii) exposing the relief-forming layer of the printing plate with UVA light through the digitally imaged mask film, (iv) removing of the mask film, (v) developing the relief by removal of the unpolymerized portions of the relief-forming layer with a washout medium or by thermal development, (vi) optionally, drying of the resulting flexographic clich\u00e9, (vii) optionally, aftertreatment of the flexographic clich\u00e9 with UVA or UVC light.
