Abstract

The present invention provides a photosensitive lithographic printing plate with a long press life, high sensitivity, and excellent storage stability, and a photosensitive composition for a lithographic printing plate for producing such a photosensitive lithographic printing plate. The photosensitive composition for the lithographic printing plate includes (A) a binder resin, (B) a diazo resin, (C) a monomer or oligomer, a molecule of which has at least two polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated double bonds, (D) a photopolymerization initiator, (E) an o-tert-butylphenol derivative, and (F) a 2-mercaptoimidazole derivative such as 2-mercaptobenzimidazole.
