In recent years, there has been a strong demand for durability of original plates for printing, but conventional lithographic printing original plates using zinc oxide did not have sufficient durability, especially water retention. When a printing original plate has excellent water retention, so-called "plate staining" is less likely to occur, and as a result, clear printed matter can be obtained. The phenomenon of "plate smudge" is interpreted to occur because the zinc oxide in the photosensitive layer is not sufficiently desensitized (hydrophilicized), and therefore ink is transferred to non-image areas. ing. Therefore, conventionally, in order to improve the water retention of a zinc oxide photosensitive layer, desensitization was strengthened by increasing the blending ratio of zinc oxide and binder in the photosensitive layer. methods have been proposed. It has also been proposed to add a surfactant to the photosensitive layer to improve the hydrophilicity of the photosensitive layer itself.

However, although these methods improve water retention, they have problems in that they result in a significant decrease in physical strength, typified by plate removal of the photosensitive layer, and a decrease in electrophotographic properties. As described above, in the prior art, it has not been possible to obtain a lithographic printing original plate that has excellent water retention without impairing other properties, that is, has sufficient durability.

There are anhydrous salts with n = o, 0.5 hydrate salts with n = 0.5, and trihydrate salts with n = 2, but they can be used without particular limitation, and among them, the most easily adsorbed water molecules. 0.5
Water salts are particularly preferred. By containing these calcium sulfates in the photosensitive layer, water molecules of desensitizing liquid and dampening solution are adsorbed to the photosensitive layer during desensitizing and printing.
The surface of the photosensitive layer has good hydrophilicity, resulting in improved water retention. The blending ratio of calcium sulfate in the photosensitive layer is preferably 0.5 to 50% by weight, particularly preferably 1 to 10% by weight, based on zinc oxide. If the amount added is less than 0.5% by weight, it is difficult to obtain sufficient water retention.
Moreover, if it exceeds 50% by weight, electrophotographic characteristics such as sensitivity and dark decay may deteriorate.
