Method for producing flexographic printing plate

1. A method for producing a flexographic printing plate from a flexographic printing original plate provided with a photosensitive resin layer comprising a photosensitive resin composition containing at least (A) a hydrophobic polymer comprising a water-dispersible latex, (B) a photopolymerizable compound and (C) a photopolymerization initiator, wherein the method comprises a main exposure step, a development step and a post-exposure step, characterized in that a treatment solution containing a first amino-modified silicone having an amine equivalent of 1000 g/mol or less and a second amino-modified silicone having an amine equivalent of 3000 g/mol or more in a mass ratio of from 2.5:1 to 1:6 is contacted with the whole surface of the flexographic printing plate.

2. The method for producing a flexographic printing plate according to claim 1 , wherein contact of the treatment solution is carried out by means of application of the treatment solution to the surface of the printing plate or by means of immersion of the printing plate into the treatment solution.

3. The method for producing a flexographic printing plate according to claim 1 , wherein contact of the treatment solution is carried out after the development step and immediately before the post-exposure step.
