Abstract
An imaging member can be prepared by imagewise application of a fluid onto a water-soluble fluid-receiving layer coated on a hydrophilic support. Application is preferably accomplished by ink jet printing. The fluid is dried or cured to form an oleophilic image on the fluid-receiving layer. After removal of the non-imaged areas, the resulting imaging member can be used for lithographic printing. The fluid-receiving layer is designed to protect the resulting imaging member from fingerprints or other handling defects.
