70 the image 60 and the release coating 42 along with the uncrosslinked photopolymer fig1 is a magnified view of a relief dot 20 produced using the first laminate of the invention as shown in fig7 and prepared in accordance with the first method of the invention the release coating 42 and the layer of adhesive 70 keep air away from the surface 22 of the copolymer 4 the top 24 of the dot 20 is formed all the way up to the edge 50 of the inkjet printed area 60 and is therefore flat the printed image of the dot will be sharp and round thus this first laminate and first method of the invention produce flat top dots of a quality unique to current digital flexo printing plates this dot shape enables printers to improve substantially their print quality and consistency and increases the print life of the plate making flexo competitive with gravure and offset printing processes fig1 is a highly magnified view of a relief dot 20 produced using the second laminate of the invention as shown in fig9 according to the second method of the invention the release coating 42 and the layer of adhesive 70 keep air away from the surface 22 of the copolymer 4 however water vapor liberated from the image material 31 by heat from the exposure lamps not shown diffuses upward through the adhesive 70 and the release coating 42 and into the ambient air the top 24 of the dot 20 is formed all the way up to the edge 50 of the etched area 32 and is therefore flat the printed image of the dot will be sharp and round the second laminate of the invention produces flat top dots of a.
