The invention provides a planographic printing plate precursor that is
writable by laser exposure and is composed of a support, a photosensitive
recording layer formed on the support, and a backcoat layer containing an
epoxy resin, the backcoat layer being formed on the side of the support
opposite to the photosensitive recording layer side; and a stack of the
planographic printing plate precursors. According to the invention,
scratches on the photosensitive recording side of the planographic
printing plate precursor can be prevented when brought into contact with
another planographic printing plate precursor in the stack without
interleaving slip sheets, and productivity in a plate making process can
be improved.
