Abstract
Provided are a washout processor and a washing method in which a device configuration is small and processing such as development can be stably performed on a flexographic printing plate precursor. There is provided a washout processor that performs development using a washing solution while transporting an imagewise exposed flexographic printing plate precursor, the washout processor having a leader that fixes both of a leading end and a trailing end of the flexographic printing plate precursor and a tension applying unit that applies tension to the flexographic printing plate precursor.
