Abstract
A process is described for eliminating or substantially reducing the surface tack on relief printing plates and the like articles fabricated from radiation-sensitive polymerizable resins, particularly photopolymerizable resin compositions. The process comprises immersing the article, after curing, in an aqueous solution or dispersion comprising a water-soluble or water dispersible ethylenically unsaturated monomer (acrylic, methacrylic acids and derivatives thereof preferred) and optionally a photoinitiator and exposing the immersed plate to actinic radiation.
