Abstract
A plate material the surface of which is formed of film including as its major component a material whose surface changes from a lipophilic state to a hydrophilic state by a photocatalytic reaction and returns to a lipophilic state when subsequently subjected to a heat treatment is used for making a printing plate. The substantially entire surface of the plate material is uniformly exposed to active light and an image is written in a heat mode on the surface of the plate material, which has been exposed to the active light.
