A lithographic printing plate precursor comprising: a support; an image
recording layer comprising (A) an actinic ray absorber, (B) a
polymerization initiator, and (C) a polymerizable compound, wherein the
image recording layer is capable of being removed with at least one of a
printing ink and a fountain solution; and an overcoat layer comprising an
inorganic laminar compound. And a lithographic printing method
comprising: mounting a lithographic printing plate precursor on a
printing press; imagewise exposing the lithographic printing plate
precursor with laser beams; and feeding at least one of a printing ink
and a fountain solution to the lithographic printing plate precursor to
remove a laser beams non-exposed area in an image recording layer; and
performing printing.
