According to a method of preparing a lithographic printing plate substantially comprising a step of imagewise exposing a negative lithographic printing plate precursor having an image-recording layer containing (i) a sensitizing dye, (ii) a photopolymerization initiator, (iii) an addition polymerizable compound having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond and (iv) a binder polymer on a support and a step of processing the exposed lithographic printing plate precursor with an aqueous solution containing a carbonate ion, a hydrogen carbonate ion and a surfactant, the processing property is improved, a printing plate free from the tackiness on the surface thereof can be provided, even when the printing plate is stored after the development until printing, deterioration of the printing durability does not occur, and it becomes possible to conduct one solution development with a weak alkaline processing solution.
