Abstract: A photosensitive lithographic printing plate precursor which has a camera speed together with all the advantageous features inherent to positive type, conventional PS plates is disclosed. On an aluminum support having a hydrophilic surface, one provides first a positive type non-silver photosensitive layer capable of forming an oleophilic image, and then superposes thereon an unfogged positive type internally sensitized silver halide photographic emulsion coating.

Abstract: A photosensitive lithographic printing plate precursor comprising a support having a hydrophilic surface and having thereon a non-silver photosensitive layer capable of forming a water-insoluble oleophilic image and a hardened gelatino silver halide photosensitive emulsion layer on the non-silver photosensitive layer.

Abstract: A light-sensitive nameplate material comprising an aluminum support having a porous aluminum oxide film on the surface thereof and a light-sensitive organic coating layer comprising an o-quinone diazide provided on the aluminum oxide film.

Abstract: A process for producing a lithographic printing plate from a light-sensitive lithographic printing plate comprising a support, a non-silver light-sensitive layer which is provided on the support and which forms a water-insoluble lipophilic image and a gelatino-silver halide light-sensitive emulsion layer on the non-silver light-sensitive layer, which process comprises the steps of:(a) imagewise exposing the light-sensitive lithographic printing plate;(b) developing the gelatino-silver halide light-sensitive emulsion layer;(c) exposing the non-silver light-sensitive layer to light;(d) washing out the gelatino-silver halide light-sensitive emulsion layer in the presence of a proteolytic enzyme; and(e) developing the non-silver light-sensitive layer.

Abstract: A process for preparing a photosensitive lithographic printing plate precursor wherein a layer containing a water-insoluble lipophilic resin is disposed on a support having a hydrophilic surface, the coating of a silver halide emulsion is directly applied to said layer and dried, said coating of silver halide emulsion is dried with hot air at 60.degree. to 150.degree. C. without permitting the same to set.

Abstract: A photosensitive image forming element comprising: a support; photosensitive layer therein which is rendered alkali-soluble upon exposure and which comprises (i) an azide compound having at least one alkali-soluble group in its molecular structure, and (ii) a polyamide.

Abstract: A process for producing a planographic printing plate comprising subjecting a light-sensitive planographic printing plate member to a burning in wherein the light-sensitive planographic printing plate member is treated with a solution containing at least one compound selected from the group consisting of boric acid, or the metal salts or ammonium salt thereof, prior to the burning in.
