To provide an original plate for infrared laser-sensitive lithographic printing having good chemical resistance, capable of realizing excellent dissolution discrimination, and excellent in image reproducibility.
The original plate for lithographic printing has on a support a positive recording layer containing a polymer having a urea bond in a side chain and an acid-coloring dye represented by formula (1) wherein rings A, B and C each independently represents a mono- to trinuclear aromatic hydrocarbon group or aromatic heterocyclic group, at least one of the rings B and C has at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of amino, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkylthio and arylthio. W1 represents carbonyl, thiocarbonyl or the like; Q1 represents O, S or imino; R11-R14 each independently represents H or a hydrocarbon group; and m and n each independently represents 0 or 1.
