A method for forming an image useful as a lithographic printing plate isndisclosed. The imageable precursor comprises a water solubilized phenolic resinnmade up of an insoluble phenolic resin and a surfactant. The precursor can benimaged with an imaging solution, either off press or on press, using ink jetnimaging techniques. The resulting imaged precursor can be developed using annaqueous liquid, such as water or a fountain solution, either off press or on press. |
