Abstract

A presensitized plate for use in making a lithographic printing plate requiring no dampening water comprises a substrate provided thereon with in order: (1) a photopolymerizable light-sensitive layer which comprises a monomer or an oligomer having at least one photopolymerizable olefinically unsaturated double bond, an organic solvent-soluble polyurethane resin or polyamide resin which is solid at room temperature and has film-forming ability and a photopolymerization initiator; (2) a crosslinked silicone rubber layer; and (3) a transparent cover coat layer, wherein the photopolymerization initiator comprises dialkylaminoarylcarbonyl compounds and at least one member selected from the group consisting of xanthones, thioxanthones, acrydones, benzophenones which do not carry a dialkylamino group, benzanthrones and anthraquinones and the transparent cover coat layer is formed from a biaxially oriented polypropylene film having a thickness ranging from 6 to 22 .mu.m and an oxygen permeability ranging from 900 to 10,000 cc/m.sup.2 /24 hr./at. at 20.degree. C. The presensitized plate does not cause so-called "fogging" even when it is kept to stand under irradiation with white light rays …
