A method of producing a flexographic printing plate, comprises: n a) inkjet printing a layer of flexographic material in a predetermined pattern onto a substrate; n b) partially curing at least part of the printed layer of flexographic material so as to immobilize it on the substrate; and n c) repeating steps (a) and (b) so as to print and partially cure one or more further layers of flexographic material in the predetermined pattern on the previous layer(s), n characterized by additionally curing one or more lower printed layers before or while printing one or more upper layers so as to reduce spreading of the lower printed layer(s). |
