On-press development type lithographic printing plate precursor, method of preparing lithographic printing plate, and lithographic printing method

Abstract

Provided is an on-press development type lithographic printing plate precursor having two or more maximal absorption wavelengths in a wavelength range of 760 nm to 900 nm, in which in a case where the on-press development type lithographic printing plate precursor is subjected to exposure to infrared having a wavelength of 830 nm at an energy density of 110 mJ/cm2, in a portion subjected to the exposure, a brightness change ΔL before the exposure and after storage subsequent to the exposure for 24 hours under conditions of 25° C. and 70% RH is 3.0 or more. Also provided are a method of preparing a lithographic printing plate and a lithographic printing method in which the on-press development type lithographic printing plate precursor is used.
