A method of obtaining a lithographic printing plate comprising the steps of: a) providing a lithographic printing plate precursor comprising: (i) a support having a hydrophilic surface or which is provided with a hydrophilic layer; (ii) a coating on said support comprising a light-curing layer and, optionally, an intermediate layer between the light-curing layer and the support, (b) exposing said coating as an image in a CtP device, (c) optionally, heating the precursor in a preheating unit; (d) revealing the precursor outside the press in a gumming unit by treating the precursor coating with a rubber solution, thereby eliminating the unexposed areas of the light-curing layer from the support, said coating further comprising a compound capable of interacting with the support, said compound being present in said photopolymerizable layer and / or said intermediate layer. |
