Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for drying a flexographic plate (5) previously subjected to washing with a water-based or solvent-based liquid. The method according to the invention involves providing a support member (10) made of a thermo-conductive material, wherein said support member (10) comprises at least a first main surface (10A) adapted to allow the support of said plate (5) to be dried. The method involves positioning the plate (5) to be dried on the support element (10) so that a base face (5A) of the plate rests on said first main surface (10A). The method further provides the step of heating, by means of thermal energy generating means (100), said support element (10) to a preestablished temperature so that the thermal energy supplied to said support element (10) is transferred by conduction to said plate (5) resting on said support element (10) so as to cause evaporation of residual liquid contained in said plate. The invention also relates to an apparatus for carrying out a drying method according to the invention.
