Study of Printability of Hybrid Light Curable Material Used in 3D Printing—Product Flexographic Plate

Using 3D printing to make flexographic plate is an addition process, which avoids the environmental pollution and materials wasting in the subtraction process of exposure, development, etc. in traditional flexographic plate making. In order to make the 3DFP that has good printability, we focus on the hybrid UV curable material system having good adaptability, we studied the influence for prepolymer and monomer on the plate forming and ink transfer ability of 3D printing to make flexographic plate, and determined the best formula for the material of 3DFP. Research indicates that the 3D printing-product flexographic plate (referred to as 3DFP in following part) product by the hybrid light curable material we studied has good forming effect and good ink transfer ability.
