<p>An automatic processing apparatus for making a lithographic printing plate includes: a developing part where an imagewise exposed lithographic printing plate precursor including a support and an image recording layer is brought into contact with a developer to develop the image recording layer; and a drying part where the printing plate precursor with the developer adhering thereto is dried, the drying part is located immediately downstream of the developing part, a path line of the lithographic printing plate precursor from an outlet of the developing part to a conveyor roller of the drying part proximate to the outlet of the developing part is in same direction as the precursor is delivered to the outlet of the developing part, and the conveyor roller is located.at a position where the lithographic printing plate precursor has dried.</p> |
