Positive type lithographic printing plate precursor, method of producing same, and method of preparing lithographic printing plate

Abstract

Provided is a positive type lithographic printing plate precursor including at least: a support which has a hydrophilic surface or a hydrophilic layer; and an underlayer, an interlayer, and an upper layer on the support in this order, in which the underlayer contains a polymer compound 1 which has at least one structure selected from the group consisting of a urethane bond, an acetal structure, and a urea bond in a main chain, the interlayer contains a polymer compound 2 which has at least one structure selected from the group consisting of a sulfonamide group, an active imide group, and a urea bond in a side chain, the upper layer contains a polymer compound 3 which has a phenolic hydroxy group, and one or more layers among the underlayer, the interlayer, and the upper layer contain an infrared absorbent. Further, provided are a method of producing the positive type lithographic printing plate precursor and a method of preparing a lithographic printing plate using the positive type lithographic printing plate precursor.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
