Zusammenfassung:A planographic printing member comprising a substrate, an oleophilic layer, an infra-red sensitive/ablatable layer, and a hydrophilic layer. The hydrophilic layer is derived from a silicate solution, optionally containing particulate materials such as alumina and/or titania. The printing member may be exposed to radiation from a laser which ablates the infra-red sensitive/ablatable layer to reveal areas of the oleophilic layer. An exposed printing member may be used in wet lithographic printing.
