Abstract

A novel printing plate is produced by placing an electrotype shell and a partial base in a mold cavity, holding them in place in properly spaced relation to each other as by means of vacuum and hydraulically or pneumatically operated holddown mechanisms, and filling the mold cavity with molten plastic or similar synthetic material from a plastic injection machine. The partial base skeleton includes scarf cavities, and portions of this skeleton may be embedded in the plastic when it hardens into the final shape.
