An object of the present invention is to provide a support for
lithographic printing plates provided with a photosensitive layer
containing an acid generator and an acid-decomposable compound, that
offers superior sensitivity, chemical resistance, print durability, and
little scumming during printing. The present invention provides an
aluminum support for a lithographic printing plate, the support being
obtainable by treating a surface of an anodized aluminum plate with a
treatment liquid comprising metal fluoride, metal phosphate salt, and
perchlorate, and a base plate for a lithographic printing plate using the
same.
