Abstract
On-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive lithographic printing plate precursors have an aluminum-containing substrate having at least inner and outer aluminum oxide layers. A hydrophilic layer is present on the outer aluminum oxide layer at 0.0002-0.1 g/mand contains a phosphorus-containing compound represented by Formula (I) at a coverage of 50-300 mg/m. A hydrophilic polymer can also be present at a lower coverage than that of the phosphorus-containing compound. These precursors have an on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer having at least a free radically polymerizable component; an initiator composition that provides free radicals upon exposure to imaging infrared radiation; an infrared radiation absorber having an anionic chromophore; and optionally a polymeric binder that is different from all other components. Such precursors can be imaged and on-press developed to provide lithographic printing plates, and they can be readily manufactured using a particular sequence of steps including multiple anodization steps.
