This document discusses common problems that occur when making photopolymer plates and their causes and solutions. It addresses issues such as not enough material washing away during development, insufficient exposure leading to faint images, scratches from rough washout brushes, dust causing spots on plates, and non-uniform base thickness. Solutions include adjusting exposure times, using softer brushes, cleaning surfaces, and inspecting plates for defects. The conclusion emphasizes understanding problem causes and implementing solutions to resolve issues and improve plate quality.
