Abstract

A method of preparing a printing plate comprises producing an oleophilic image on the surface of a support by ink-jet printing the image on the surface using an aqueous solution or aqueous colloidal dispersion of a polymer bearing water-solubilizing groups wherein the water-solubilizing groups interact with the surface of the support thereby binding the polymer to the support and rendering the polymer insoluble.
