2. Description of the Related Art A lithographic printing plate supplies both water and ink to a plate surface to selectively receive a coloring ink in an image area and water in a non-image area, for example, an ink on the image. Printing is performed by transferring to a printing medium such as paper. Therefore, in order to obtain a good printed matter, the difference in the lipophilicity and hydrophilicity of the surface between the image area and the background non-image area is sufficiently large, and when water and ink are applied, the image area contains a sufficient amount of ink. It is necessary that the non-image area accepts no ink.

The exposed silver halide crystals undergo chemical development in the emulsion layer by development processing to become blackened silver, forming hydrophilic non-image areas. On the other hand, the unexposed silver halide crystals are solubilized by the silver complex salt forming agent in the developer, diffused to the physical development nucleus layer on the surface, and the reducing action of the developing agent on the physical development nuclei causes the ink-accepting image silver.

Therefore, a lithographic printing plate using the DTR method undergoes chemical development and dissolution physical development during development processing.

No. 5549 describes a rapid processing method in which an amount of developing solution necessary for developing a lithographic printing plate is applied and supplied to the plate surface to carry out a plate-making process. In the rapid processing, the developing solution can be developed by always supplying the necessary minimum amount of the developing solution, the developing time can be shortened, and the fatigue of the developing solution becomes irrelevant.

However, it has been experimentally found that various problems occur when a conventional developing bath type developing solution is applied to the rapid processing system. First, the developing temperature depends on the ambient temperature, and a wide suitable temperature range is required. Second, there is a change in the development speed balance between chemical development and dissolution physical development. That is, dissolution physical development occurs up to the area where chemical development should originally occur. Or vice versa. Thirdly, in the rapid processing method, it was confirmed that the additives, which were conventionally used, do not exert their effects. That is, the additive does not penetrate into the inside of the light-sensitive material.
