Abstract
A negative-working lithographic printing plate precursor comprises a negative-working radiation-sensitive imageable layer and an outermost layer comprising a vinyl alcohol copolymer comprising at least one unit of each of the (a), (b), and (c) recurring units, in any order, defined in the disclosure. The (c) recurring units are present in the vinyl alcohol copolymer in an amount of at least 0.5 mol %, based on the total recurring units. These precursors can be used to prepare lithographic printing plates either on-press or off-press after imaging using near-UV, visible, or infrared radiation.
