Abstract

1356499 Copying by scanning PERKINELMER CORP 17 May 1972 [20 May 1971 (2) 1 Dec 1971] 23250/72 Heading H4F [Also in Division G2] A reflective template corresponding to a relief pattern to be formed for a relief printing plate is produced by preparing a graphic representation of material to be reproduced in relief on a printing plate blank comprising a sheet of material that collapses within its own volume on exposure to certain radiation and a layer that reflects such radiation, scanning the representation, 30, e.g. with a laser, to produce signals proportional to the lightness or darkness of successive portions, thereof, scanning the side of the printing plate blank 10<SP>1</SP>, 1011 on which a relief is to be formed with a beam of radiant energy, e.g. another laser, to remove the reflective layer, the path of the scan of this beam corresponding to the path of scanning of the representation in synchronism therewith, and modulating the beam intensity in accordance with the signals from that scanning to remove selected areas of the reflective layer to uncover underlying areas of the material that collapses within its own volume.
