Abstract
A system for printing lines of no more than 20 microns on a receiver element (70) includes a laser for forming a series of pixel features on a flexographic plate. The pixel features form a relief pattern of non-overlapping or discontinuous raised pixel features on the elastomeric relief element (60). An inking system applies a printable material composition (20) to the flexographic plate. A print roller for transfers a printable material composition to flexographic plate.
Claims11
A system for printing lines of no more than 20 microns on a receiver element comprising:
- a flexographic plate including an isolated row of pixel features, the pixel features comprising a series of adjacent clusters wherein a vertex of each cluster is adjacent to the vertex of an adjustment cluster;
- wherein the pixel features form a relief pattern of non-overlapping or discontinuous raised pixel features on the flexographic plate, and wherein a first width of the raised pixel features at a location that is distal to adjacent raised pixel features is greater than a second width of the raised pixel features at a location that is proximate to adjacent raised pixel features;
- an inking system for applying a printable material composition to the flexographic plate;
- and
- a print roller for transferring the printable material composition to the flexographic plate.
