The present invention provides a PS plate for use in making a lithographic
printing plate, comprising an aluminum substrate provided thereon with a
light-sensitive layer comprising a polyurethane resin binder, an addition
polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated bond-containing compound and a
photopolymerization initiator, wherein the polyurethane resin binder is
one synthesized from at least the following compounds (i) to (iv): (i) at
least one di-isocyanate compound; (ii) at least one diol compound having
at least one carboxyl group; (iii) at least one diol compound whose log P
value is less than 0; and (iv) at least one diol compound whose log P
value is higher than 0. The PS plate and a method for making a
lithographic printing plate therefrom according to the present invention
satisfy the requirements for high resistance to staining and high
printing durability, which permits the dissolution, in a developer, of
the foregoing compounds insoluble in the developer or the stable
dispersion of the compounds in the developer over a long period of time
and improve the stable processing ability of the developer, without
impairing the image-forming ability at all.
