ABSTRACT:
A lead edge strip for securing one edge of a flexographic carrier sheet provides improved strength and mounting stability and thus printing accuracy. The edge strip comprises a base portion, a pair of parallel walls extending from said base portion and a short lip for engaging a complementary overhanging edge of a flexographic printing plate cylinder. The carrier sheet is received between the parallel walls and secured there by suitable fastening means. Preferably, the lead edge strip is transparent as this facilitates mounting of the lead edge strip and carrier sheet upon the printing cylinder. The lead edge strip in combination with a carrier sheet is also taught.
