A water-developable photosensitive resin plate suitable for the manufacture of a relief printing plate having high resistance to water-based inks, high resilience and excellent form stability, which comprises: (A) a copolymer comprising units of (i) an aliphatic conjugated diene monomer (ii) an alpha, beta-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid and (iii) a polyfunctional vinyl monomer, optionally with (iv) a monofunctional vinyl monomer, the content of the aliphatic conjugated diene monomer (i), the alpha, beta-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid (ii), the polyfunctional vinyl monomer (iii) and the monofunctional vinyl monomer (iv) being respectively from about 5 to 95 mol %, from about 1 to 30 mol %, from about 0.1 to 10 mol % and 0 to 70 mol % based on the combination of those monomeric components; (B) a basic nitrogen atom-containing compound; (C) an ethylenically unsaturated monomer; and (D) a photopolymerization initiator. |
