Lithographic printing plate precursor and production method of lithographic printing plate
View Patent ↗A lithographic printing plate precursor comprising a hydrophilic support, an alkali-soluble layer and provided on the alkali-soluble layer a recording layer which contains an infrared ray absorbent, an alkali-soluble resin and an inhibitor of inhibiting the alkali-soluble resin from dissolving in an alkali aqueous developer and increases in the solubility in an alkaline aqueous solution upon irradiation of infrared light, and a developing method of the lithographic printing plate precursor with a non-silicate developer.
1. A lithographic printing plate precursor comprising a hydrophilic support, an alkali-soluble layer and provided on the alkali-soluble layer a recording layer which contains an infrared ray absorbent, an alkali-soluble resin and an inhibitor for inhibiting the alkali-soluble resin from dissolving in an alkali aqueous developer and increases in the solubility in an alkaline aqueous solution upon irradiation of infrared light, wherein said inhibitor is a quaternary ammonium salt compound.
2. The lithographic printing plate precursor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the alkali-soluble layer comprises an alkali-soluble polymer of acrylic resin having a sulfonamido group.
