Abstract
A method of preparing a lithographic printing plate includes the steps printing a liquid on a lithographic support to form a printing area which corresponds to a raster image, wherein the raster image includes a section which has a tone-value from 90% to 100%, and the jetted liquid droplets for this section, on a corresponding part from the printing area on the lithographic support, are contactless with each other.

A method of preparing a lithographic printing plate comprising the steps of:
- jetting liquid droplets onto a lithographic support to define a printing area that corresponds to a raster image;
- wherein
- the raster image includes a section having a tone-value from 90% to 100%;
- and
- the jetted liquid droplets in a portion of the printing area that corresponds to the section having the tone-value from 90% to 100% do not contact each other at a top of the jetted liquid droplets.
