Photosensitive resin composition for ctp flexographic printing original plate and printing original plate prepared therefrom

Abstract

The present invention provides a CTP photosensitive flexographic printing original plate which causes no printing blur while the conventional printing durability, developing property and image-reproducing property are still maintained. A photosensitive resin composition for CTP flexographic printing original plate containing at least a hydrophobic polymer obtained from water-dispersible latex (A), a hydrophilic polymer (B), a photopolymerizable unsaturated compound (C), a photopolymerization initiator (D), and if necessary, rubber (E), characterized in that, the photopolymerizable unsaturated compound (C) comprises a photopolymerizable oligomer containing no hydroxyl group (C-1), a hydroxyl group-containing photopolymerizable monomer having a pentaerythritol skeleton, a dipentaerythritol skeleton or a glycerol skeleton (C-2) and, optionally, a photopolymerizable monomer containing no hydroxyl group (C-3). The content of the hydroxyl group-containing photopolymerizable monomer (C-2) is 1 to 20% by mass of the photosensitive resin composition. The content of the rubber (E) is preferably 0.5 to 15% by mass of the photosensitive resin composition.
