    • Method for producing flexographic printing plates, using as starting material a photopolymerizable flexographic printing plate which at least comprises, arranged one above another, a dimensionally stable support, at least one photopolymerizable, relief-forming layer, at least comprising an elastomeric binder, an ethylenically unsaturated compound and a photoinitiator, a digitally imagable layer, comprising at least the following steps: (a) producing a mask by imaging the digitally imagable layer, (b) exposing the flexographic printing plate through the mask with actinic light, and photopolymerizing the image regions of the layer, the exposing taking place with a plurality of UV-LEDs which are arranged on at least one UV-LED strip which is moved relative to the surface of the flexographic printing plate, and (c) developing the photopolymerized layer by washing out and drying or by thermal development, characterized in that in the UV-LED strip or in a separate strip, at least one ultrasonic sensor is arranged, at least the thickness of the flexographic printing plate for exposure is determined with the at least one ultrasonic sensor, depending on the measured thickness of the flexographic printing plate, the exposing of the flexographic printing plate is controlled in respect of at least one of the following parameters: (i) number of exposure steps, (ii) exposure intensity, (iii) energy input per exposure step, (iv) duration of the individual exposure steps, (v) overall duration of exposure.
