Infrared sensitive composition and lithographic printing plate precursor |
(57) An infrared sensitive composition and a lithographic printing plate precursor having
a large difference in alkali solubility between the exposed portions and unexposed
portions (dissolution discrimination), an excellent latitude in development, and a
high sensitivity can be provided when the composition is used for the image-forming
layer of a lithographic printing plate precursor, which is an infrared sensitive composition
comprising an alkali-soluble resin having a phenolic hydroxyl group (A), a light-heat
converting substance (B) and a leucohydroxy dye (C).
