Abstract
A developer for a presensitized plate for use in making a lithographic printing plate requiring no dampening water comprises: (1) 1 to 39% by weight of at least one alcohol derivative selected from the group consisting of those represented by the following general formula (I): ##STR1## (wherein R.sup.1 represents an alkyl or alkenyl group having 4 to 12 carbon atoms; R.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; and n is an integer ranging from 1 to 6); (2) 1 to 39% by weight of at least one water-soluble organic solvent having a boiling point of not less than 100.degree. C.; and (3) 60 to 98% by weight of water. If this developer is used, foaming is hardly caused during the development processing a PS plate requiring no dampening water, it has excellent developing ability and half tone dot reproduction and can provide an excellent lithographic printing plate free of defects such as scratch marks.
