摘要 |
The present invention provides a negative-working photosensitive composition which can widen the preheat latitude upon exposure without increasing ablation, and a negative-working photosensitive lithographic printing plate. The negative-working photosensitive composition comprises (a) an alkali-soluble resin, (b) a compound capable of being crosslinked by an acid, (c) a compound capable of generating an acid by heat, (d) a photothermal converting agent, and (e) a sulfone compound represented by the following general formula (I). R-SO2-R' (I) wherein R and R' may be the same or different and represent a substituted or non-substituted alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or heterocyclic group. The negative-working photosensitive lithographic printing plate comprises a photosensitive layer made of the negative-working photosensitive composition.
