This invention relates to a process for making a printing relief from a flexographic photosensitive element comprising: a) imagewise exposing to actinic radiation a layer of a photosensitive composition, said photosensitive composition comprising a binder having thermoplastic and elastomeric domains, a first addition polymerizable, ethylenically unsaturated monomer having some compatibility with both domains of the binder, and an addition polymerization initiator or initiating system; b) removing the unexposed portions; and c) applying post development treatment; wherein the improvement comprises increasing the flexibility of the flexographic printing relief by adding at least one additional ethylenically unsaturated monomer so that the ratio of first monomer to the additional monomer is in the range 1:4 to 4:1 based on total weight of monomer, said additional monomer is added to the photosensitive composition prior to imagewise exposing the layer provided that said additional monomer is substantially incompatible with the elastomeric domain of the binder.
