A dry presensitized plate for use in making a lithographic printing plate requiring no dampening water during printing, which comprises a support having provided thereon, in order, a light-sensitive layer of microcapsules comprising a photohardenable monomer or a light-sensitive resin and a silicone rubber layer. The dry presensitized plate makes it possible to obtain a dry lithographic printing plate without using any developers and the removal of the silicone rubber layer. Therefore, the development of the dry presensitized plate is simple and economical. |
