FIELD: printing industry.
SUBSTANCE: in implementing the method, the selective ablation of the masking layer is carried out to create on the masking layer on the entire image which comprises a fragment of the image containing the cell structure. On the masking layer the oxygen barrier layer is applied. Then, the printing element is exposed by the actinic radiation through the barrier and the masking layers for selective crosslinking and cure of at least one light-cured layer to create the relief image and a textured surface on the printing element. The performs of the printing element are developed by removing the barrier layer and uncured parts of the light-cured layer to reveal a relief image.
EFFECT: improvement of printing quality.
