Printing form with thermally insulating layer

Abstract

Reusable printing forms and thermal image setting on the printing forms are optimized in terms of performance. The printing form includes a substrate and a thermally insulating layer that is formed on the substrate. The thermally insulating layer includes a multilayer system. The printing form can have images set on it with a low power image setting device since it is possible to effectively prevent heat from dissipating in an undesirably pronounced manner, for example, into a metallic carrier.
