ABSTRACT:
A method for forming an image by imaging and developing a multi-layer imageable element is disclosed. When thermally imageable, multi-layer imageable elements that have been imaged using stochastic screening are developed, a much smaller variation in dot percentage throughout the developer loading cycle is observed when a smaller initial charge of developer and a higher replenishment rate than are used in a conventional developing process are used. The developer is a solvent based developer with a pH below about 10.5. The developed imageable elements are useful as lithographic printing plates.
