There is provided a plate material for printing method based on wettability change. The plate material is comprised of a substrate and a recording layer including at least two polymers having a first polymer and a second polymer surrounding the first polymer. The first polymer has a changeable property of a receding contact angle and is comprised of a copolymer including perfluoroalkyl-containing acrylate or perfluoroalkyl-containing methacrylate. The second polymer has an oil-absorptive character defined as an area ratio determined in the specification and is comprised of a urethane polymer. The printing plate according to the present invention exhibits excellent ink-releasability and no toning during printing operation.
