Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of processing a light sensitive planographic printing plate precursor comprising a support, and provided thereon, a photopolymerizable light sensitive layer and an overcoat layer in that order, the method comprising the steps of imagewise exposing the light sensitive planographic printing plate precursor, pre-washing the exposed light sensitive planographic printing plate precursor with washing water, and developing the pre-washed light sensitive planographic printing plate precursor with a developer containing an alkali metal-containing compound, wherein the pre-washing step comprises first washing the exposed light sensitive planographic printing plate precursor with a first water being water which has been used at least one time for washing the exposed light sensitive planographic printing plate precursor, and then washing the resulting precursor with a second water being fresh water which has not been used before for washing the exposed light sensitive planographic printing plate precursor.

Disclosed is a method of processing a light sensitive planographic printing plate precursor comprising a support, and provided thereon, a light sensitive layer and an overcoat layer in that order, the method comprising the steps of imagewise exposing the light sensitive planographic printing plate precursor, pre-washing the exposed light sensitive planographic printing plate precursor with a pre-washing solution in the presence of a compound represented by the following formula (1) or (2), or an N-alkyliminodiacetic acid or its salt, the alkyl having a carbon atom number of 1 to 3, and developing the pre-washed light sensitive planographic printing plate precursor with a developer, 1
Abstract:
The present invention provides a system of a digital color proof in which consistent images are obtained while minimizing density variation in spite of various variations of conditions due to the use of a silver halide light-sensitive color material, specifically, the present invention provides a method for forming proof images similar to printed images in terms of various characteristics such as the paper quality of silver halide light-sensitive materials, the dot gain, and the density.
