Abstract: A photosensitive composition comprising (i) at least one titanocene compound (ii) an addition polymerizable compound containing at least one ethylenically unsaturated double bond and (iii) at least one pigment having an optical characteristic such that the transmittance at 500 nm is relatively smaller than the transmittance at 400 nm. Also disclosed is a method of producing a lithographic printing plate using a lithographic printing plate precursor comprising the photosensitive composition.

Abstract: Disclosed is a photopolymerizable composition which comprises (i) a sensitizing dye represented by the following formula (I-1), (ii) a titanocene compound, and (iii) an addition polymerizable compound having at least one ethylenically unsaturated double bond: wherein A and B each represents —S—, NR3, or NR4; R3 and R4 each represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group; Y1 and Y2 each represents a non-metallic atomic group to form a basic nucleus of a dye together with the adjacent A or B, and the adjacent carbon atoms; R1 and R2 each represents a monovalent non-metallic atomic group, or they may be bonded to each other to form an aliphatic or aromatic ring.
