Abstract
The present invention includes a method of preparing an inkjet ink imaged lithographic printing plate by imagewise applying an acidic inkjet ink onto a substrate coated with an inkjet ink reactive coating composition which is acid-catalyzed, to produce an imaged coated substrate wherein the inkjet ink imaged regions are more insoluble than non-imaged regions. Then the imaged and non-imaged regions of the imaged coated substrate are contacted with a developer or fountain solution to selectively remove the coating from the soluble non-imaged regions. The present invention also includes an inkjet ink imaged lithographic printing plate which is prepared by the method of the invention.
