Abstract
Grained, anodized and hydrophilized lithographic printing plates which have a negative or positive working radiation-sensitive coating, are exposed and are developed in an aqueous alkaline solution, are subjected, after hydrophilization, to a treatment with a salt solution containing divalent or polyvalent cations in a concentration of not less than 0.02 mol/l, thereby minimizing degradation of the plate and contamination of the printing forms and the development apparatus.
