Abstract (en)

According to the present invention there is provided a heatsensitive material for making lithographic printing plates comprising on a lithographic support a first image-forming layer comprising a hydrophilic binder, a cross-linking agent for said hydrophilic binder and dispersed hydrophobic thermoplastic polymer particles, and as top image-forming layer a heat switchable image forming layer comprising a heat switchable polymer wherein said top image-forming layer or a layer adjacent to said top image-forming layer comprises a compound capable of converting light into heat, characterized in that said heat switchable polymer is a polymer containing aryldiazosulphonate units.
