Abstract

A method of treating a process-free printing form fitted to a printing-form cylinder includes having an imaging unit act upon a coating of a printing form and produce printing areas and non-printing areas on the printing form, and after the imaging unit has acted upon the coating, operating the imaging unit at reduced power during a return pass into a starting position thereof.
