Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0849091A1] According to the present invention there is provided a heat-sensitive imaging element for making lithographic printing plates. The heat-sensitive imaging element comprises an image-forming layer comprising hydrophobic thermoplastic polymer particles having a specific particle size and polydispersity for obtaining printing plates with an improved sensitivity, excellent developability, high troughput and less scumming.
