Provided is an imaged wet lithographic printing plate which bears a hydrophilic layer and an oleophilic, water-insoluble layer in a desired imagewise pattern overlying the hydrophilic layer, wherein the oleophilic layer comprises a reaction product of a transition metal complex of an organic acid, preferably a chromium complex of an organic carboxylic acid. Also provided are methods of preparing such imaged wet lithographic plates by ink jet printing and by laser ablation imaging; methods of preparing positive working, wet lithographic printing plates imageable by laser radiation; positive working, wet lithographic printing plates prepared by such methods; and methods of imaging such positive working plates by laser ablation imaging.
