A photosensitive resin composition which is excellent in compatibility (dispersibility) and developability with water and gives a printing plate excellent in water resistance, image reproductibility, printing durability in printing with a water-based ink, and resistance to wiping in the removal of the ink adherent to the printing plate. The photosensitive resin composition is characterized by containing (A) a hydrophilic copolymer obtained by copolymerizing (1) 2 to 15 parts by weight of a carboxylated unsaturated monomer, (2) 50 to 80 parts by weight of a conjugated diene monomer, (3) 3 to 20 parts by weight of an aromatic vinyl, and (4) 3 to 30 parts by weight of an alkyl (meth)acrylate. |
