The present invention relates to a heat mode-compatible planographic
printing plate comprising a photosensitive layer which is capable of
recording with an infrared laser and formed by applying a photosensitive
layer coating solution onto a hydrophilic support and then drying the
photosensitive layer coating solution, the photosensitive layer coating
solution being obtained by dissolving or dispersing I) an IR absorber, II)
a polymerization initiator, and III) a compound having a polymerizable
unsaturated group in a solvent, wherein the residual solvent in the
photosensitive layer is 5% by weight or less relative to the weight of the
photosensitive layer.
