Abstract

An apparatus for exposure of a relief precursor having a first side and an opposite second side includes a light source to expose the relief precursor during relative movement between the light source and the relief plate precursor; a moving means to cause a first relative movement between the light source and the relief precursor to expose the first side of the relief precursor, to cause a second relative movement between the light source and the relief precursor to expose the second side of the relief precursor, and to move the light source between a first position and a second position. The first and second positions are on opposite sides of a plane of the relief precursor. At least one of the first and the second relative movement is a reciprocating movement.
