Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022112342A1] Processes and systems for making a flexo plate (2302) with a plurality of plate structures (2304) having a plurality of different elevations relative to the plate floor, including a first set of printing structures having a top elevation at a first (e.g. uppermost) level of the plate and at least a second set of printing structures having a top elevation at a second elevation above the plate floor below the first elevation but above the plate floor. In some embodiments, the second set of printing structures may form an indicator structure having at least one elevation configured to print conditionally after a predetermined amount of plate wear or upon receiving greater than a desired amount of contact pressure (2310, 2312). In other embodiments, the first set of printing structures correspond to relatively high ink coverage areas and the second set of printing structures correspond to relatively low ink coverage areas.
