Abstract

Processes for imaging and developing imageable elements useful as lithographic printing plate precursors either thermally or with ultraviolet radiation that use the same developer are disclosed. The imageable elements comprise a top layer and an underlayer. The top layer contains a phenolic polymer and a material that has either the o-benzoquinonediazide functionality or the o-diazonaphthoquinone functionality. The developer is a 20:80 to 80:20 mixture of (1) an aqueous alkaline developer that has a pH greater than 11 and contains about 2 wt% to about 8 wt% of an alkali metal silicate, and (2) a solvent based developer that contains about 0.5 wt% to about 15 wt% of an organic solvent or mixture of organic solvents.
