LITHOGRAPHIC PRINTING PLATE PRECURSOR AND METHOD OF USE
IR-sensitive lithographic printing plate precursors provide a stable print-out image using a unique IR radiation-sensitive composition in an infrared radiation-sensitive image-recording layer. This IR radiation-sensitive composition includes: (1) a free radical initiator composition that comprises an electron-donating agent; (2) a free radically polymerizable composition; and (3) a color-changing compound that is represented by the Structure (I) having a conjugated carbon chain between the aromatic terminal groups. The compound also has a —SO2—R3 group wherein R3 represents alkyl, aryl or heteroaryl groups. After IR imaging, these precursors exhibit desirable printout images both fresh and after dark storage. The precursors can be developed off-press or on-press.
