Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention is directed to a lithographic printing plate precursor including, in the following order: a support; an image-recording layer containing a radical polymerizable compound and a radical polymerization initiator; and a protective layer containing a star polymer, and the star polymer is preferably a polymer in which from 3 to 10 polymer chains are branched from a central skeleton.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A lithographic printing plate precursor comprising, in the following order: a support; an image-recording layer containing a radical polymerizable compound and a radical polymerization initiator; and a protective layer containing a star polymer; wherein the image-recording layer does not contain the star polymer. 2. The lithographic printing plate precursor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the star polymer is a polymer in which from 3 to 10 polymer chains are branched from a central skeleton. 3. The lithographic printing plate precursor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the star polymer is a polymer in which from 3 to 10 polymer chains are branched from a central skeleton via sulfide bonds respectively. 4. The lithographic printing plate precursor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the star polymer has a hydrophilic group in the polymer chain thereof. 5. The lithographic printing plate precursor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the protective layer contains an inorganic stratiform compound. 6. The lithographic printing plate precursor as claimed in claim 1 , which is capable of printing after image exposure with a laser, by supplying at least one of printing ink and dampening water on a printing machine to remove an unexposed area of the image-recording layer. 7. The lithographic printing plate precursor as claimed in claim 1 , which is capable of removing after image exposure with a laser, an unexposed area of the image-recording layer with a developer having pH from 2 to 14.
