Zusammenfassung:Aqueous alkaline developing compositions useful in the development of negative-working lithographic printing plates are comprised of an organic solvent, an anionic surface active agent, sodium oxalate, sodium nitrate or an alkali metal tetraborate, an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid, an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid and sufficient alkaline buffering system to provide an alkaline pH. The developing composition is resistant to oxidation, highly effective in dissolution-type processing, and able to effectively desensitize the background areas of the printing plate.
