Abstract
Disclosed are a printing plate precursor having an anodized titanium film layer on a surface thereof; a process for lithography which comprises image-wise exposing the surface of the printing plate precursor to an actinic light, bringing the exposed surface into contact with a printing ink to form a printing surface where the image areas have received the ink, and using the resultant printing plate to conduct printing; and the process for lithography described above which further comprises cleaning the surface of the printing plate after completion of the printing to remove the remaining ink from the surface, subsequently heating the printing plate precursor at 80 to 500° C., and then repeatedly using the printing plate precursor.
