Photopolymer plates were originally developped for commercial relief printing Flexography The thickness of the layer is appropriate for relief printing but far thicker then needed for intaglio printing Photopolymer films are appr 30 50 microns thick 0 03 0 05 mm Photopolymer film and plates are light sensitive and water soluble Artwork is created or copied onto a piece of transparent film The film is laid on top of a plate or a surface that has been covered with a photopolymer film and exposed to a ultra violet light source Where the light hits the plate it hardens
