PURPOSE:To allow the easy development of both of a PS plate and a waterless plate with one unit of automatic developing machine by developing one kind of the PS plate and the waterless plate with a developing machine having plural developing sections by a specific method. CONSTITUTION:The automatic planographic plate developing machine is provided with the two developing sections 1, 2 and feeds the developing solns. of developing tanks 1a, 2a to shower pipes 8, 9 by pumps 10, 11. Either of the PS plate or the waterless planographic plate is inserted into this developing machine from the intermediate point of the two developing sections 1, 2 and is developed only in the 2nd developing section 2 or is subjected to the discrete processing by taking out the plate just before the 2nd developing section 2 after developing in the 1st developing section 1 or stopping the developing soln. of either of the two developing sections 1, 2. The developing solns. for the waterless planographic plate and for the PS plate are properly dividedly housed in the developing sections 1, 2 as the developing solns. of this time. The processing of two kinds of the planographic plates is, therefore, possible with one unit of the developing machine. |
