Abstract
A lithographic precursor includes a hydrophilic layer that presents a surface for lithographic interaction, and which is formulated to receive a pigment-based aqueous ink deposited (e.g., by inkjet) in an “imagewise” pattern. The compatibility between the ink and the hydrophilic layer is such that a baking step is not required for subsequent printing.
