摘要：An improved apparatus for thermally developing a flexographic printingelement to reveal a relief image on the surface and a method of using the apparatus toexpose and develop- a flexographic printing element. The apparatus typically comprisesmeans for softening or melting non-crosslinked photopolymer on the imaged andexposed surface of the flexographic printing element; at least one roll that is contactablewith the imaged surface of the flexographic printing element and capable of moving overat least a portion of the imaged surface of the flexographic printing element to removethe softened or melted non-crosslinked photopolymer on the imaged and exposedsurface of the flexographic printing element; and means for maintaining contact betweenthe at least one roll and the imaged and exposed surface of the flexographic printingelement. The means, for softening or melting non-crosslinked photopolymer on theimaged and exposed surface of the flexographic printing element comprise a heaterpositioned adjacent to the imaged surface of the flexographic printing element and/orheating the at least one roll that contactable with the imaged surface of the flexographicprinting element. The apparatus may also contain an exposure device to crosslink and
cure the imaged surface of the flexographic printing element prior to thermaldevelopment.
