(54) Planographic printing plate precursor


(57) A planographic printing plate precursor comprises a substrate and a positive recording layer prepared on the substrate, the positive recording layer comprising two kinds of polymer including specific copolymer components and a compound that absorbs light and generates heat, and the solubility thereof in an alkaline developer being improved by light-exposure or heating. A planographic printing plate precursor has a positive recording layer which is a strong film (image area) having excellent chemical resistance and resistance to alkaline developers and from which resistance to alkaline developers can be quickly eliminated by exposure, and that suppresses the occurrence of abrasion during exposure.
