Abstract
A radiation-sensitive plate comprises a substrate coated with a radiation-sensitive composition including a component having groups imparting solubility in aqueous solutions and a component having functional groups capable of reacting with a silane compound. The surface of the composition is modified by reaction with a silane compound. The plate gives rise to images of improved ink receptivity and can be developed in aqueous developer liquids after image-wise exposure.
