Provided is a positive working, wet lithographic printing member comprising a hydrophilic metal substrate having disposed thereon a hydrophilic layer, an ablative-absorbing, ink-accepting surface layer and, optionally, an ink-accepting overcoat layer that is not ablative-absorbing. Also provided are methods of preparing such lithographic printing plates, and methods of preparing imaged lithographic printing plates from such lithographic printing plates by imagewise exposure to a laser and a subsequent cleaning step to remove residual laser-induced debris and damaged areas from the hydrophilic layer. The use of water-dispersible carbon blacks with polar groups on the surface of the carbon black and water-based polymers, such as a polyvinyl alcohol, in the ablative-absorbing layer, with the optional addition of the durable, ink-accepting overcoat layer that is not ablative absorbing, improves the ease of the cleaning step and also improves the image resolution, adhesion, and durability upon imaging and use of the printing member. |
