Abstract

A shallow relief non-bottoming printing plate is disclosed having a polymerized layer of less than about 0.020 inch and which includes a plurality of dispersed particles sufficient to create small protuberances in non-image or background areas to prevent bottoming. Photopolymerizable elements, as well as processing techniques, are also disclosed for making such printing plates.
