ABSTRACT:
Higher resolution photoimages are produced in the photopolymer arts by intimate contact of a photoimage bearing surface of a phototransparency phototool and the surface of a liquid photopolymer layer to expose the photopolymer layer to curing radiation in that relationship. When phototools are to be reused over and over in production they are subject to wear and corresponding loss of resolution. Also the cured and hardened photopolymer tends to stick to the phototool surface. This invention resolves these problems by forming an image through a thin polyolefin film that wets with the liquid photopolymer and does not stick to such photopolymer cured and hardened thereon. Any scratching from wear, etc. causes little loss of resolution because of the through-the-film image, formed by exposing a dye and solvent solution to the porous film through an image forming stencil pattern.
