An object of the present invention is to provide a flexographic printing plate precursor in which reproducibility of microcells is improved in a case of being made into a flexographic printing plate, and durability of independent dots is improved, and a manufacturing method of a flexographic printing plate using the flexographic printing plate precursor. The flexographic printing plate precursor of the present invention includes, in the following order, an infrared ablation layer, a photosensitive resin layer, and a support, in which a content of a photopolymerization initiator contained in a surface layer region of the photosensitive resin layer from a surface on a side in contact with the infrared ablation layer up to 100 ?m in a thickness direction is larger than a content of a photopolymerization initiator contained in a remainder region of the photosensitive resin layer, which is closer to the support side than the surface layer region.

There are provided a washout processor and a washing method that prevent solid contents from being attached to a developed flexographic printing plate precursor again. A washout processor that develops an imagewise exposed flexographic printing plate precursor using a washing solution includes a developing tank that is filled with the washing solution, a development unit that performs the development by removing a non-exposed portion of the flexographic printing plate precursor using the washing solution in the developing tank, and a flow creation unit that flows the washing solution in at least one region of a first region where the flexographic printing plate precursor is carried into the washing solution of the developing tank or a second region where the flexographic printing plate precursor is carried out from the washing solution of the developing tank, in an intersecting direction to cross a width of the flexographic printing plate precursor with respect to a traveling direction of the flexographic printing plate precursor.

An apparatus and method of manufacturing a fluorosilicone composite for a variable data lithography imaging member surface layer. Examples of the fluorosilicone composite include a first part and a second part, the first part having fluorosilicone, carbon black, silica and butyl acetate, the second part having a platinum catalyst, a crosslinker, butyl acetate and an inhibitor. The first part may also include a dispersant (e.g., a polyoxyalkylene amine derivative) that removes a need for shaking the dispersion by paint shaker and instead allows a more manufacture friendly roll ball milling process. The dispersant will also help in stabilizing the fluorosilicone composite for scaled up production.

A print pattern of a printing plate used in intaglio printing includes plural partition walls and a groove-shaped cell unit. The plural partition walls are continuously extended in a printing direction, and arranged at predetermined intervals in an orthogonal direction. The cell unit is formed between the partition walls adjacent to each other, and a printing paste (conductive paste) is retained in the cell unit. Plural printing direction walls that are arranged in a zigzag manner in the printing direction are coupled to each other by a coupling walls that are arranged in the printing direction walls adjacent to each other in the printing direction, thereby forming the partition wall.
