Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0466433A2] An apparatus for making a printing plate in which a printing plate made of a thermoplastic resin sheet is wrapped around a plate cylinder and a laser beam from a laser source is irradiated on the printing plate to form holes in accordance with image information is comprised of angle adjusting means for adjusting an irradiation angle of the laser beam from the laser source and control means for controlling the irradiation start position of the laser beam such that holes on the printing plate are made continuous at a predetermined angle. Thus, a printing plate having various dot patterns can be obtained only by adjusting the optical system of this apparatus and a printed product in which the occurrence of moiré can be avoided can be obtained. <IMAGE>
