Therefore, without undergoing the treatments of electrolytic graining and anodizing, the plate of the present invention can achieve excellent printing durability and high resolution, thereby avoiding serious environmental pollution of the waste acid solution and waste base solution produced in the process of electrolytic graining and anodizing.
