Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0773113A1] This invention provides a method for making a lithographic printing plate comprising the steps of: (1) image-wise exposing an imaging element comprising (i) on a hydrophilic surface of a lithographic base an image forming layer comprising hydrophobic thermoplastic polymer particles dispersed in a hydrophilic binder and (ii) a compound capable of converting light to heat, said compound being comprised in said image forming layer or a layer adjacent thereto; (2) developing a thus obtained image-wise exposed imaging element with plain water or an aqueous liquid; (3) and overall heating a thus obtained imaged imaging element.
