ABSTRACT:
A flexible resilient printing plate adapted for use on a magnetic printing cylinder is formed by mixing a ferrous metal powder within a volume of liquid vinyl plastisol, casting the mixture onto a face layer of at least partially cured vinyl plastisol to form a base layer, and then heating the combined layers to cure the base layer and fuse it to the face layer to form a flexible multiple layer mold sheet. The base layer is shaved to provide the mold sheet with a substantially uniform thickness, and a porous fibrous impression mat is placed in contact with the face layer. The mat and mold sheet are heated and are placed within a diaphragm press with a porous cloth between the mold sheet and the diaphragm. The mold sheet is pressed into the mat to form a printing plate which is allowed to cool during the pressing operation. The mat and plate are magnetically retained on the bed for a shaver, and the base layer of the plate is shaved to produce a precise uniform caliper. After the printing plate is shaved and stripped from the porous mat, it is reheated until it relaxes. The reheated plate is placed on a drum having an outer diameter the same as the magnetic cylinder and is held in firm contact with the drum until the plate cools.
