Abstract
Abstract A photosensitive recording material, in particular for the production of lithographic printing plates or resist images, possesses a photosensitive, photopolymerizable or electrophotographic recording layer which can be washed out with an aqueous, in particular aqueous alkaline, medium, the said recording layer containing, as a polymeric binder, a copolymer which is soluble or dispersible in the aqueous, in particular aqueous alkaline, medium and which contains, as a comonomer, an anhydride of a polymerizable, ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid in an amount of from 0.05 to 2% by weight, based on the copolymer, as copolymerized units.
