<p>An alkaline developing composition for processing a lithographic printing plate includes an alkali metal silicate, at least 6 weight % of a thickener such as glycerine, and a nonionic fluorosurfactant or a phosphate ester hydrotrope. Lithographic printing plates that can be developed using this composition are either positive- or negative-working, and include both positive- and negative-working thermal plates.</p> |
