Abstract
Imageable elements with improved dot stability are disclosed. The imageable elements comprise a layer of an imageable composition over a support. The imageable composition comprises an infrared absorbing compound, an acid generator, an acid activatable crosslinking agent, a polymeric binder, and about 0.01 wt % to 1 wt % of an added onium compound. The elements may be thermally imaged and developed to produce images useful as lithographic printing plates.
