Abstract
A printing plate includes a defined image area having a microstructure pattern. The microstructure pattern is defined by a plurality of rows each having a plurality of diagonal oriented elevated line segments having orientations alternating between a positive angle in one row and a negative angle in an adjacent row, wherein each line segment has a first end aligned with a middle portion of and spaced apart from a first line of a first adjacent row and a second end aligned with a middle portion of and spaced apart from a second line of a second adjacent row. Processes, computer readable media programmed with instructions for performing the processes, and tools for making the printing plate are also described.
