A presensitized plate having: on an aluminum support, a thermosensitive
layer containing a photothermal conversion agent which absorbs infrared
rays and generates heat and a water-insoluble and alkali-soluble resin,
of which solubility to an alkali aqueous solution increases by heating,
wherein the aluminum support has a grained structure with large
undulation and a grained structure with small undulation on a surface
thereof. This presensitized plate is excellent in damage resistance and
sensitivity, and after the plate is processed into a lithographic plate,
it is also excellent in scum resistance and press life.
