Lithographic printing plate precursor

摘要

A heat mode type lithographic printing plate precursor which can be directly mounted on a printing press without development processing after scanning exposure for a short time to conduct plate-making, has excellent press life and also gives few print stains onto a printed face, which comprises a substrate having provided thereon an image recording layer containing fine light-heat convertible particles which are hydrophilic in their surfaces, the layer being made hydrophobic by the action of heat.
