Direct-image type lithographic printing plate precursor

Abstract

A direct image type lithographic printing plate precursor according to this invention has an image-receiving layer on a support, said image-receiving layer containing at least one of nonaqueous type dispersed resin particles which are copolymer resin particles obtained by dispersion copolymerization of a monofunctional monomer A and a monofunctional monomer B in a nonaqueous solvent in the presence of a dispersion-stabilizing resin soluble in said nonaqueous solvent, said monofunctional monomer A containing at least one functional group which forms at least one hydrophilic group selected from a carboxyl group, a thiol group, a phosphono group, an amino group and a sulfo group upon decomposition, said monomer being soluble in said nonaqueous solvent but made insoluble therein upon polymerization, and said monofunctional monomer B containing a silicon and/or fluorine atom-containing substituent and being copolymerizable with said monofunctional monomer A.
