Abstract:
A lithographic printing original plate which sequentially comprises, on a substrate, at least a heat-sensitive layer and a silicone rubber layer in this order, and wherein the heat-sensitive layer contains a polyurethane that has a carbonate structure. A method for producing a lithographic printing plate using this lithographic printing original plate. A method for producing a printed matter. To provide: a lithographic printing original plate which is capable of preventing background stain, while having excellent dot reproducibility and printing durability; a method for producing a lithographic printing plate using this lithographic printing original plate; and a method for producing a printed matter.
Abstract:
Provided is a lithographic printing original plate having excellent printing durability, excellent ink repellency, and high reproducibility of a high-definition image. The lithographic printing original plate includes, at least: a thermosensitive layer; and an ink repellent layer, wherein when a load of 14000 N/m2 is applied to a surface of the ink repellent layer, the elastic modulus of the plate surface is 25-35 MPa.
