Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1151857A2] The method involves providing a re-writable printing form (50) with a printing surface containing metallic titanium, producing an image on the printing surface by selective pointwise energy input and clearing the image after printing by applying energy over an area. The printing surface can be formed on a bearer that can be of aluminum, another metal or plastic or the form can be entirely made of titanium. Independent claims are also included for the following: a re-usable printing form, a printer mechanism and a print machine.
