Zusammenfassung:Apparatus and process for producing a photopolymer plate having relief image areas using a photosensitive material. A protective film, a photosensitive material and a backing material are sequentially supplied to a travelling rigid support plate having an image bearing transparency thereon, and the assembly is exposed to actinic radiation, the protective film is removed off and unexposed non-image areas of the photosensitive material layer are washed out. The resulting photopolymer plate having hardened relief image areas is subjected to a surface treatment, drying and a post-exposure. The apparatus comprises means to automatically accomplish each of the above functions.
