Process for making lithographic printing plates, and printing plates made by the process.

摘要

This invention relates to a process for making lithographic printing plates comprising a substrate and a photo-sensitive coating whereby incident radiation is converted into or reemerges as energy that will bring about a change in the coating on the substrate. This invention relates furthermore to laser imageable lithographic printing plates, wherein laser radiation is converted into radiation that will directly form an inkloving image in the photo-sensitive coating that is normally substantially unaffected by laser radiation.
