A light-sensitive composition comprises a light-sensitive compound, an alkali soluble resin and a fluorine-containing surfactant. The surfactant is a copolymer of a (poyoxyalkylene)acrylate or (polyoxyalkylene)methacrylate with an acrylate or methacrylate having a fluorine-containing aliphatic group. The copolymer has a weight average molecular weight of 1000 to 6000 and contains the acrylate or methacrylate in an amount of 10 to 25% by weight. The fluorine-containing aliphatic group has 6 to 20 carbon atoms and 30% or more by weight of fluorine atoms.

Light-sensitive composition comprising a fluorine copolymer surfactant

There are disclosed a photosensitive composition which comprises:

Lithographic printing plate utilizing aluminum substrate with

A photosensitive composition comprising (a) a 1,2-naphthoquinone-2-diazido-4-sulfonic acid ester compound, (b) alkali-soluble resin, (c) a halomethyloxadiazole compound which releases halogen free radicals by irradiation with actinic rays and (a) a dye which interacts withthe decomposition product of said halomethyloxydiazole compound and discolors or develops color. The composition exhibits excellent development latitude, light safety, visible-on-exposure characteristic and printing resistance.

Photosensitive composition containing

A positive photosensitive planographic printing plate is disclosed which has a photosensitive layer comprising in combination a specific o-naphthoquinonediazidosulfonic ester and a resin having a specific structural unit(s). Said photosensitive layer may also contain a novolak resin and/or an organic acid.

Positive photosensitive planographic printing plates containing specific

Disclosed is a light-sensitive lithographic printing plate which comprises an aluminum or aluminum alloy support having been pretreated and a light-sensitive layer provided thereon, wherein the surface of the support adjacent to the light-sensitive layer is treated by use of an aqueous solution containing at least one selected from the group consisting of nitric acid, nitrate, nitrous acid and nitrite. According to this invention, lithographic printing plates which are free from stain due to residual light-sensitive layer, excellent in developability, good in water retention at image area and excellent in press life, can be obtained.
