Abstract:
A method and apparatus to expose photosensitive printing plates with a predetermined radiation density from the main side (top) and a predetermined radiation density from the back side (bottom). The method comprises executing the main exposure with a time delay after the back exposure. The time delay between back exposure and main exposure is optimized to create smaller stable single dot elements on the photosensitive printing plate after processing and smaller single element dot sizes printed on the print substrate. The plate floor may be adjusted by performing a back-side-only exposure prior to executing the combined back and main exposure with the time delay.

Claim (Index 16):
The process of  claim 11 , comprising performing the process using an apparatus comprising one or more radiation sources configured to expose the front side and the back side of the printing plate to radiation and a controller connected to the one or more radiation sources and configured to commence irradiating the back side of the plate first and to commence irradiating the front side of the plate after the defined time delay, the apparatus comprising at least one linear front source and a linear back source spaced apart from one another by a lateral distance along the length of the plate, the process comprising causing relative movement between the printing plate and the at least one linear front source and the linear back source, wherein the relative movement has a velocity sufficient to cause the defined time delay over the lateral distance.
