A negative type planographic printing plate in which recording can be performed
directly from digital data of a computer or the like using an infrared laser. Sensitivity
of the plate is high, ablation by a recording layer during recording is suppressed,
a developing property is good, occurrence of a film residue does not occur, and
image forming properties such as halftone dot reproducibility are excellent. The
negative type planographic printing plate has on a supporting body, in the following
order, a first layer that contains a polymer insoluble in water and soluble in
an alkaline aqueous solution, and a second layer that contains a cross-linking
or polymeric compound, which forms a covalent bond by action of light or heat and
lowers solubility of the second layer in an alkaline developing liquid.
