An original form plate for a novel photosensitive lithographic form plate, in which development processing is simple, and which possesses a high ink repellent property without undergoing a desensitization and can use pure water as a dampening water, can be produced by using a lithographic form plate, in which (1) a non-printing area portion made of a hydrophilic swelling layer has an amount of water absorption of 1 to 50 g/m2 and a printing area portion has a less amount of water absorption than that of the non-printing area portion; (2) the non-printing area portion made of a hydrophilic swelling layer has an initial elastic modulus of 0.01 to 10 kg/mm2 and the printing area portion has a larger initial elastic modulus than that of the non-printing area portion; (3) the non-printing area portion made of a hydrophilic swelling layer has a water swelling rate of 10 to 2000 % and the printing area portion has a less water swelling rate than that of the non-printing area portion; or (4) the nonprinting area portion made of a hydrophilic swelling layer has a phase separation structure composed of at least two phases, that is, a phase, of which a main component comprises at least a hydrophilic polymer, and a phase, of which a main component comprises a hydrophobic polymer.
