A photosensitive diazo resin-containing photosensitive resin composition for lithographic printing comprising a sensitizing dye having an anion group in a molecule as a counter ion of a diazonium group.

Photosensitive diazo resin composition for lithographic printing

Disclosed is a photosensitive diazo resin for lithographic printing represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein X.sup.- is a counter anion, Y is a divalent bonding group selected from the group consisting of --NH--, --S-- and --O--, R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are groups which are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, an alkyl group and an alkoxy group, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are groups which are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, an alkyl group and a phenyl group, 1 and m are integers which satisfy the relation:

Photosensitive diazo resins and resin compositions for lithographic

Disclosed is a photosensitive resin composition which, can be hot melt molding and and is water-developable. The composition does not need the preliminary exposure process and when cured has suitable hardness and printing properties. The photosensitive resin composition comprises;
