Abstract
The present invention provides a planographic printing plate capable of ensuring improvement of productivity and stability of a small dot net portion due to improvement of adhesion. There is provided a planographic printing plate, characterized in that a surface of an aluminum plate being a support element of the planographic printing plate has been subjected to preliminarily polishing mechanically by at least 0.1 &mgr;m; chemical etching treatment by at least 0.1 &mgr;m; electrochemically surface-roughening; and anodic oxidation, and for a surface structure of the aluminum plate: (a) an area (S) for a graphic formed by a reference straight line drawn from a top of a third highest mountain of a two-dimensional roughness curve downwardly by 1 &mgr;m and a roughness curve upper than the reference straight line is 30 &mgr;m ≦S≦150 &mgr;m ; (b) an average roughness Ra of average lines is 0.15 &mgr;m≦S≦Ra≦0.60 &mgr;m; (c) a relationship between the average roughness Ra of average lines and a height Rp of a center line is Rp≦6Ra; (d) a relationship between a maximum height Rmax and the average roughness Ra of average lines is Rmax≦12Ra; and (e) a surface area difference is between 20% and 70%.
