A lithographic printing plate precursor comprising an image recording
layer containing a sensitizing dye, a polymerization initiator, a
polymerizable compound and a binder polymer and a hydrophilic support,
wherein the image recording layer or a layer optionally provided between
the image recording layer and the hydrophilic support contains a compound
capable of forming an adsorptive group to the hydrophilic support due to
heat, an acid or a radical.
