A lithographic printing plate precursor capable of forming an image upon
irradiation with an infrared laser comprising a support, a first layer
containing as the main component an alkali-soluble resin and a second
layer containing as the main component an alkali-soluble resin that is
different from the alkali-soluble resin contained as the main component
in the first layer in this order, and at least one of the first layer and
the second layer contains a mixture comprising at least two kinds of
infrared absorbing agents.
