ABSTRACT:
A method of producing a printing plate is disclosed, which comprises the steps of a) providing, on an aluminium support, a photo-hardenable light-sensitive layer on a 50 .mu.m or less thick film to obtain a light-sensitive plate, the surface on the light-sensitive layer side of said support is electrolytically etched in a nitric acid solution to have an average surface roughness R.sub.a of 0.1 to 0.6 .mu.m; b) imagewise exposing the photo-hardenable photosensitive layer of the light-sensitive plate; c) applying heat or pressure to the exposed light-sensitive plate; d) removing the exposed light-sensitive layer from the light-sensitive plate to leave an unexposed light-sensitive layer on the aluminium support; and e) overall exposing the unexposed light-sensitive layer to harden the same.
