Abstract

Abstract An aluminum alloy support for a lithographic printing plate, comprising: a rolled plate of aluminum alloy comprised of: 1.2% or less Fe; impurities each present in an amount of 0.15% or less; and, Al as the residual proportion, wherein the rolled plate has a distribution of intermetallic compounds, the compounds having grain sizes of 3 microns or less, which are positioned directly under an outer surface of the rolled plate.
