Das Entfernen der Rückstände aus dem Brennprozess ist sehr aufwändig.This solution has the disadvantage that for the creation of the image motif by the application a laser's energy consumption is high. Removing the residue from The burning process is very complicated.
Um diese Nachteile zu beseitigen , wird in der Druckschrift DE 43 39 493 A1 ein Verfahren zum Herstellen einer Druckform vorgeschlagen, das von einer hydrophilen Plattenoberfläche ausgeht. Es werden Daten bereitgestellt, die eine auf einen Träger zu druckende Grafik und/oder einen Text definieren. Die Daten werden in einem Computer in für den Betrieb einer Maschine geeignete Maschinendaten umgewandelt. Die ausgewählten Abschnitte der Plattenoberfläche, die mit einem bilderzeugenden Material zu beschichten sind, werden definiert. Dazu wird eine Strahldruckeinrichtung mit einem Strahldruckkopf bereitgestellt, der auf die ausgewählten Abschnitte der Plattenoberfläche das bilderzeugende Material aufbringt und die anderen Abschnitte der Plattenoberfläche frei lässt. In der Strahldruckeinrichtung wird ein Vorrat an fotoempfindlichem, flüssigem Bilderzeugungsmaterial bereitgestellt, das zum Erzeugen hydrophober Breiche auf der Plattenoberfläche härtbar ist. Danach wird das Bilderzeugungsmaterial mit Strahlungsenergie belichtet, um ein gehärtetes Bild zu erzeugen.In order to eliminate these disadvantages, the document DE 43 39 493 A1 discloses a method for producing a printing form proposed by a hydrophilic plate surface emanates.

Bei abgestelltem Druck und abgestelltem Farb- und Feuchtwerk 6; 7 sowie abgestelltem
Gummizylinder 5 wird durch die Beschichtungseinrichtung 8 ein Medium auf die
Oberfläche des Druckformzylinders 4 oder - falls mit einer Druckform 12 gearbeitet
wird - dieses Medium auf die Oberfläche der Druckform 12 aufgebracht. Dadurch wird
eine Schicht 11 gebildet. Diese wird durch einen Strahldrucker aufgebracht, der nach
dem Ink-Jet-Prinzip arbeitet.With the pressure off and the inking and dampening unit 6 off; 7 and turned off
