2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a photosensitive lithographic printing plate for offset printing is obtained by applying a photosensitive layer which causes a change in solubility by a photochemical reaction onto a grain surface of a support which has been made hydrophilic in advance. In a printing plate process for producing a plate, there is a step of eluting the photosensitive layer with a developing solution after the photosensitive lithographic printing plate is image-exposed to form a grain-grained hydrophilic surface serving as a non-image portion. For example, for a positive photosensitive lithographic printing plate containing quinonediazide, after image exposure, the photosensitive layer in the exposed area is eluted with a developing solution mainly composed of an aqueous alkali solution to perform printing. A negative photosensitive lithographic printing plate containing a diazo resin is subjected to printing using a developer containing an organic solvent. In any case, the developing solution containing the eluted photosensitive layer cannot be directly discarded and is treated as industrial waste liquid.

[0003] Further, the above-mentioned developer is deteriorated by the development of the plate and by carbon dioxide in the air.
In the development step, replenishment of the developer is necessary to compensate for these deteriorations, but the control of replenishment when processing a large number of sheets is complicated, and sometimes the developer becomes excessive or insufficient. Stabilization is extremely difficult.

The photosensitive lithographic printing plate formed using the photocatalyst according to the present invention and which does not require development, as described above, is made lipophilic in the unexposed area by image exposure and becomes amphiphilic in the exposed area (water retention). ) To form a printing latent image. The light used for the image exposure needs to include a light beam capable of exciting the photocatalytic semiconductor particles. In the case of anatase titania, the wavelength required for excitation is 390 nm
Therefore, it is necessary to expose with light including a light beam having a wavelength equal to or less than this wavelength. As a light source including such a light beam, a mercury lamp or a metal halide lamp, which is a light source used for a normal offset printing plate, can be used. In addition, the exposure amount is required to sufficiently hydrophilize the non-image portion as the exposed portion,
This exposure dose depends on the material used, but is generally 400 mJ / cm 2 or more.

In the case of an ordinary photosensitive lithographic plate for offset, the non-image portion is removed by a developing step to make a latent image visible, so that it is handled under a white lamp after the developing step. In the case of a lithographic printing plate, it is not preferable to expose the printing plate under a white lamp containing much ultraviolet light during this time because the printing plate is attached to a printing machine in a latent image state. The time that can be handled under such a general white light (safe light property) is about 10 minutes. Conversely, even in the case of white light, especially in the case of ultraviolet cut illumination, the safelight property is very long, and under such illumination, the plate can be handled without problems from the stage before exposure.

(Evaluation of Image Formability) The image forming properties of the resulting photosensitive lithographic printing plate were evaluated according to the following procedure. 1: Half of the plate surface was shielded from light and exposed to 1500 mJ / cm 2 in terms of about 430 nm using a high-pressure mercury lamp containing light of 390 nm or less. 2: The plate after exposure was washed with ordinary tap water. As a result, it was found that the unexposed portion repels water, and the exposed portion is wetted with water. Oxidation polymerization type printing ink was applied in the state of 3: 2, and the ink was spread over the entire surface of the plate with a hand roller. Then, it was washed again with water. As a result, no ink was applied to the exposed portions, and only the unexposed portions received the ink. From the above evaluations, it was determined that the photosensitive lithographic printing plate of the present invention can be used as a so-called offset printing plate using a fountain solution without development processing.
