FIELD: printing.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method and a system for preparation of flexographic printing forms, as well as to a preparatory table used in the method and the system. The printing forms are placed in the hopper for forms, and fed in the given order from the hopper on the preparatory table. The printing forms are moved by means of transportation, such as a conveyor belt, on the preparatory table and further to the form sleeve or the form cylinder. During movement the printing forms on the back sides are exhibited by the radiation source. The form sleeve rotates at a speed adapted to the speed of the movement device so that the printing forms are placed in a checkerboard manner in two or more rows on the form sleeve. The printing forms placed on the form sleeve are then exhibited, for example, by laser engraving.
EFFECT: providing the ability to change the painted design in one or some of several printing rows during combined printing, as well as reduction of production time of printing forms.
