Lithographic printing plate precursor and method of use

A negative-working lithographic printing plate precursor comprising a substrate, and an outermost negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive image-recording layer disposed on the substrate,

• wherein the outermost negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive image-recording layer comprises:
• a) one or more free radically polymerizable components;
• and
• b) an initiator composition capable of generating free radicals,
• the outermost negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive image-recording layer further comprising one or more infrared radiation absorbers;
• and an ozone-blocking material that has a molecular weight of 1500 or less and is represented by the following structure (I), (II), or (III):
• wherein R is a hydrocarbon group having 14 to 30 carbon atoms;
• m is 1 or 2;
• n is 1 to 6;
• the sum of m and n is greater than 2 and less than 8;
• and A is a multivalent organic moiety that is free of R and OH groups, and A has a valence equal to the sum of m and n;
• wherein R1 and R2 are independently alkyl groups having 14 to 22 carbon atoms, and o is an integer of 1 to 3;
• and
• R3C(═O)NR4R5 (III)
• wherein R3 is an alkenyl group comprising at least one C═C double bond within a carbon-carbon chain having 16 to 30 carbon atoms, and R4 and R5 are independently a hydrogen atom or an unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and
• the negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive image-recording layer optionally further comprising one or more non-free radically polymerizable polymeric materials that are different from the a), b), the one or more infrared radiation absorbers, and the ozone-blocking material of structure (I), (II), or (III).
