Abstract

A developer composition for photosensitive coatings on substrates, particularly lithographic printing plates sensitized with substantially water-insoluble diazonium compounds, which is comprised of an aqueous solution of a substantially water-soluble organo-lithium salt, e.g., lithium naphthenate, lithium benzoate, lithium ricinoleate, etc. The novel developers quickly remove unexposed areas of the plate and yet do not detrimentally dissolve the exposed areas of the plate.
