Description:
LITHOGRAPHIC PRINTING PLATE PRECURSORS, METHODS OF USING AND MANUFACTURE FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive lithographic printing plate precursors (“precursors”) comprising an inventive aluminum-containing substrate that has been prepared using at least two separate anodizing processes to provide at least inner and outer aluminum oxide layers. The aluminum-containing substrate also has a unique hydrophilic layer disposed on the outer aluminum oxide layer, which hydrophilic layer comprises a predominant dry coverage of a phosphorus-containing compound at a specific dry coverage. This invention also relates to a method for infrared radiation imaging and processing such precursors to provide lithographic printing plates. It further relates to a method of making such inventive precursors from the inventive aluminum-containing substrates. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In lithographic printing, lithographic ink receptive regions, known as image areas, are generated on a hydrophilic surface of a substrate. When the printing plate surface is moistened with water and a lithographic printing ink is applied, hydrophilic regions retain the water and repel the lithographic printing ink, and the lithographic ink receptive image regions accept the lithographic printing ink and repel the water. The lithographic printing ink is transferred from the lithographic printing plate to the surface of a material upon which the image is to be reproduced, perhaps with the use of a blanket roller. Imageable elements or lithographic printing plate precursors used to prepare lithographic printing plates typically comprise one or more radiation- sensitive imageable layers disposed on the outermost hydrophilic surface of the substrate. Following imaging, either the exposed (imaged) regions or the non- exposed (non-imaged) regions of the one or more radiation-sensitive layers can be removed using a suitable developer, revealing the outermost hydrophilic surface of the substrate. If the exposed regions are removable, the lithographic printing plate precursor is considered positive-working. Conversely, if the non-exposed regions are removable, the lithographic printing plate precursor is considered negative-working. Radiation-sensitive photopolymerizable compositions used in negative-working lithographic printing plate precursors typically comprise free- radically polymerizable components, one or more radiation absorbers, an initiator composition, and optionally one or more polymeric binders that are different from the other noted components. In recent decades, there has been an emphasis in the industry for simplification of the lithographic printing plate making process, including an omission of the pre-development heating step (preheat) and by carrying out development on-press (DOP) using a lithographic printing ink, fountain solution, or both, to remove unwanted (non-exposed) imageable layer materials on the lithographic printing plate precursors. Such negative-working lithographic printing plate precursors should be designed by balancing many features within the element structure in order to achieve optimal press life, on-press developability, imaging speed, storage stability, and scratch resistance among other industrially needed properties. It has not been an easy task to optimize all of these properties simultaneously because what chemical composition or structural feature may provide optimal level in one or two properties may cause a loss in another property. An advance in the art for on-press developable lithographic printing plate precursors is provided with the uniquely anodized substrates described in U.S. Patent Application Publication 2018/0250925 (Merka et al.). There is still the need to reduce the adverse effects of ozone in the atmosphere on the imaging chemistry in the precursors. Ozone can reduce the imaging sensitivity of certain infrared radiation absorbers, namely those having cationic chromophores having a net positive charge. The precursors having such compounds may exhibit reduced printing durability. To do solve this problem, researchers have learned that it is useful to use infrared radiation absorbers that comprise an anionic chromophores with net negative charge or an acidic group in the imaging chemistry of the imageable layer. However, using such “anionic” infrared radiation absorbers causes another problem when the imaging layer is applied to an aluminum-containing substrates having multiple aluminum oxide layers that have been prepared using sulfuric acid in the last anodizing process as described U.S. Patent Application Publication 2018/0250925 (Merka et al.). Such anodizing treatment can generate aluminum sulfate that being water-soluble can migrate into the imageable layer and form an aluminum salt with the anionic infrared radiation absorbers. This effect seriously diminishes the imaging sensitivity of those infrared radiation absorbers. Thus, there is a need to solve these multiple problems without sacrificing imaging sensitivity and printing durability. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a lithographic printing plate precursor comprising: an aluminum-containing substrate having a hydrophilic surface, and an on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation- sensitive imageable layer disposed over the hydrophilic surface of the aluminum- containing substrate, wherein the aluminum-containing substrate comprises: an aluminum-containing plate having a grained and etched surface; an inner aluminum oxide layer disposed on the grained and etched surface, the inner aluminum oxide layer having an average dry thickness (Ti) of at least 300 nm and up to and including 3000 nm, and comprising a multiplicity of inner micropores having an average inner micropore diameter (Di) of less than or equal to 11 nm, wherein the inner aluminum oxide layer comprises aluminum sulfate; an outer aluminum oxide layer disposed over the inner aluminum oxide layer, the outer aluminum oxide layer comprising a multiplicity of outer micropores having an average outer micropore diameter (Do) of at least 12 nm and up to and including 50 nm, and having an average dry thickness (To) of at least 20 nm and up to and including 650 nm; and a hydrophilic layer disposed on the outer aluminum oxide layer, wherein the hydrophilic layer comprises: (1) one or more phosphorus-containing compounds having a C1 dry coverage and represented by the following Formula (I): Formula (I) wherein n is zero or an integer from 1 to 10, -OM represents -OH or -O-M + , and M + is a monovalent cation; and optionally (2) one or more hydrophilic polymers having a C2 dry coverage when present, wherein the C1 dry coverage of the (1) one or more phosphorus- containing compounds is at least 50 mg/m 2 and up to and including 300 mg/m 2 , and the ratio of the C1 dry coverage to the C2 dry coverage when the (2) one or more hydrophilic polymers are present, is at least 11:9; and the on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation- sensitive imageable layer comprises the following components (a) through (c) and optionally component (d): (a) one or more free radically polymerizable components; (b) an initiator composition that provides free radicals upon exposure of the on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation- sensitive imageable layer to imaging infrared radiation; (c) one or more infrared radiation absorbers that comprise an anionic chromophore having a net negative charge or an acidic group; and optionally (d) one or more polymeric binders, all of which are different from all of components (a), (b), and (c). This invention also provides a method for providing a lithographic printing plate, comprising: imagewise exposing the lithographic printing plate precursor of any precursor embodiment of the present invention to imaging infrared radiation to form an imagewise infrared radiation-exposed imageable layer having exposed regions and non-exposed regions, and removing the non-exposed regions from the imagewise infrared radiation- exposed imageable layer, on press, using a lithographic printing ink, a fountain solution or both a lithographic printing ink and a fountain solution, to form a lithographic printing plate. Moreover, this invention provides a method for preparing a lithographic printing plate precursor, comprising, in order: A) providing an aluminum-containing plate having an electrochemically or mechanically grained and etched surface; B) subjecting the aluminum-containing plate to a first anodizing process to form an outer aluminum oxide layer on the electrochemically or mechanically grained and etched surface, the outer aluminum oxide layer comprising a multiplicity of outer micropores having an average outer micropore diameter (D o ) of at least 12 nm and up to and including 50 nm, and having an average dry thickness (To) of at least 20 nm and up to and including 650 nm; C) rinsing the outer aluminum oxide layer; D) subjecting the aluminum-containing plate to an additional anodizing process, using sulfuric acid, to form an inner aluminum oxide layer underneath the outer aluminum oxide layer, the inner aluminum oxide layer having an average dry thickness (T i ) of at least 300 nm and up to and including 3000 nm, and comprising a multiplicity of inner micropores having an average inner micropore diameter (D i ) of less than or equal to 11 nm, wherein the inner aluminum oxide layer comprises aluminum sulfate; E) rinsing the outer aluminum oxide layer and the inner aluminum oxide layer; F) providing a hydrophilic layer over the outer aluminum oxide layer, wherein the hydrophilic layer comprises: (1) one or more phosphorus-containing compounds having a C1 dry coverage and represented by the following Formula (I): Formula (I) wherein n is zero or an integer from 1 to 10, -OM represents -OH or -O-M + , and M + is a monovalent cation; and optionally (2) one or more hydrophilic polymers having a C2 dry coverage when present, wherein the C1 dry coverage of the (1) one or more phosphorus- containing compounds is at least 50 mg/m 2 and up to and including 300 mg/m 2 , and the ratio of the C1 dry coverage to the C2 dry coverage, when the (2) one or more hydrophilic polymers are present, is at least 11:9; and G) forming an on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer over the outer aluminum oxide layer, wherein the on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer comprising the following components (a) through (c) and optionally component (d): (a) one or more free radically polymerizable components; (b) an initiator composition that provides free radicals upon exposure of the on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation- sensitive imageable layer to imaging infrared radiation; (c) one or more infrared radiation absorbers that comprise an anionic chromophore having a net negative charge or an acidic group; and optionally (d) one or more polymeric binders, all of which are different from all of components (a), (b), and (c). In some embodiments of this inventive manufacturing method, the method further comprises, between steps B) and C), C’) subjecting the aluminum-containing plate to a second anodizing process, to form a middle aluminum oxide layer underneath the outer aluminum oxide layer, the middle aluminum oxide layer having an average dry thickness (T m ) of at least 60 nm and up to and including 300 nm, and comprising a multiplicity of middle micropores having an average middle micropore diameter (D m ) of at least 20 nm and up to and including 60 nm, wherein D m is greater than Do that is greater than Di, and the average dry thickness of the outer aluminum oxide layer (T o ) is less than 150 nm, and the additional anodizing process of step D) is a third anodizing process to form the inner aluminum oxide layer underneath the middle aluminum oxide layer. The problem of reduced imaging sensitivity when anionic infrared radiation absorbers are present in the imaging chemistry has been significantly diminished with the practice of the present invention. Specifically, it has been found that when phosphoric acid, a phosphoric acid condensate, or a phosphoric acid salt comprises the predominant component of a hydrophilic layer situated between the aluminum-containing substrate and the on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer, imaging sensitivity is maintained when an anionic infrared radiation absorber is used in the imaging chemistry. These advantages are particular evident when the aluminum- containing substrate has two or more aluminum oxide layers produced by anodization treatments, the last of which is carried out using sulfuric acid. The anodic aluminum oxide produced using sulfuric acid contains aluminum sulfate. While being readily water-soluble in its pure form, the aluminum sulfate trapped within the anodic aluminum oxide structures cannot be readily removed through water rinsing steps within the practical time frame of typical printing plate precursor manufacturing machines. During natural storage of the lithographic printing plate precursors derived from such an aluminum-containing substrate, especially in humid environment, the retained aluminum sulfate in the aluminum- containing substrate can be slowly released. It has been found that the passage of the released aluminum sulfate to the on-press developable, negative working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer can be effectively blocked by the (1) one or more phosphorus- containing compounds that are present at the C1 dry coverage of at least 50 mg/m 2 and up to and including 300 mg/m². Thus, the salt formation between the anionic chromophores of the (c) one or more infrared radiation absorbers and the aluminum ion of the aluminum sulfate released from the aluminum-containing substrate can be effectively prevented. Such salt formation, if not prevented, significantly reduces the effectiveness of the (c) one or more infrared radiation absorbers. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Definitions The term “aluminum-containing plate” is used herein to refer to an aluminum-containing or other metal-containing material (sheet, web, strip, sheet, foil, or other form) that can be then treated to prepare a “substrate” as described in more detail below. Sometimes, this term is known as a “support” in the art. Average outer micropore diameter (Do) in nanometers (nm) can be determined from a top view SEM image at a magnification of at least 50,000X taken from the substrate surface before the application of the hydrophilic layer and the infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer. It is also possible to determine the outer micropore diameter (Do) of a lithographic printing plate precursor by stripping off the organic layers with appropriate solvents and optionally removing about 20 nm to 80 nm thick outer portion of the outer aluminum oxide layer using an appropriate technique such as argon ion beam sputtering before taking the top view of the SEM image. The average can be determined by reviewing over 200 outer micropores. Average inner micropore diameter (Di) can be determined from a cross-sectional view SEM image at a magnification of at least 50,000X. The cross-section can be generated by bending the lithographic printing plate precursor or its substrate after the imageable layers and the hydrophilic layer have been removed. During bending, cracks are formed in the aluminum oxide layer and new surfaces are formed usually at the weakest position, which is usually located at the thinnest walls between adjacent inner micropores. Therefore, the new surfaces of cracks provide cross-sectional views of many micropores. For the present invention, it is not necessary to determine the exact average inner micropore diameter (Di) as long as at least 90% of revealed micropore cross- sections has a width below 11 nm. Average dry thickness (To) of the outer aluminum oxide layer, average dry thickness of the middle aluminum oxide layer, and average dry thickness (Ti) of the inner aluminum oxide layer, in nanometers (nm), each can be determined from the cross-section SEM images of at least 50,000X magnification. The cross-sections of the aluminum oxide layer can be revealed through the cracks formed by bending a lithographic printing plate precursor or its aluminum- containing substrate. The cross-sections of each aluminum oxide layer can also be revealed by cutting a slot through the aluminum oxide layer by a focused ion beam (FIB), a technique well known in the art. In some embodiments, the outer aluminum oxide layer micropore density (C o ), in micropores/µm 2 , can be determined from the top view SEM pictures of at least 50,000X magnification by counting the number of micropores in a predetermined area of a square having an area of, for example 500 nm by 500 nm. Additionally, in some embodiments, the porosity (P o ) of the outer aluminum oxide layer can be constrained by each of the following equations: 0.3 < P o < 0.8 or 0.3 < Po < 0.6, wherein P o is defined as 3.14(C o )(D o 2 )/4,000,000. As used herein, the term “infrared radiation absorber” refers to a compound or material that absorbs electromagnetic radiation in a defined region and typically refers to compounds or materials, or a mixture thereof, that have an absorption maximum in the region of at least 750 nm and up to 1400 nm. For clarification of definitions for any terms relating to polymers, reference should be made to “Glossary of Basic Terms in Polymer Science” as published by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (“IUPAC”), Pure Appl. Chem.68, 2287-2311 (1996). However, any definitions explicitly set forth herein should be regarded as controlling. Unless otherwise indicated, the term “weight %” refers to the amount of a component or material based on the total solids of a composition, formulation, or dry layer. Unless otherwise indicated, the percentages can be the same for either a dry layer or the total solids of the formulation or composition used to form that dry layer. Uses The lithographic printing plate precursors of the present invention (“inventive precursors”) are useful for forming lithographic printing plates for lithographic printing, for example using a lithographic printing ink, fountain solution, or both a lithographic printing ink and a fountain solution. These precursors are prepared with the structure and components described as follows. In addition, the lithographic printing plate precursors of the present invention are designed to be negative-working and on-press developable using the appropriate materials and manufacturing procedures described below to provide on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive formulations and imageable layers. However, it is still possible for such inventive precursors to be developed off-press using a suitable developer if the user so desires. Inventive Substrate In general, the lithographic printing plate aluminum-containing substrate can be derived from an aluminum or other metal material, such as an aluminum alloy containing up to 10% by weight of one or more elements including but not limited to, manganese, silicon, iron, titanium, copper, magnesium, chromium, zinc, bismuth, nickel, and zirconium. The aluminum- or aluminum alloy-containing support (or “plate” or “raw stock”) can have any form from which it can be further processed, including sheets, continuous webs, and coiled strips as long as it has at least one (substantially planar) surface that can be treated as described below to form a hydrophilic surface in the inventive substrates. It is also possible to use polymeric films or papers onto which pure aluminum- or aluminum alloy-containing layers are deposited or laminated. The resulting aluminum-containing substrate should be thick enough to mechanically withstand the conditions in a modern printing press, but thin enough to be installed on (or wrapped around) a printing cylinder of such a machine. Thus, the aluminum-containing substrates should also have appropriate tensile strength, elasticity, crystallinity, and conductivity needed for lithographic printing. These properties can be achieved by standard methods such as heat treatments or cold and hot rolling typical for the fabrication of continuous lithographic support strips, webs, or coils. Dry thicknesses of the resulting inventive substrates are generally at least 100 µm and up to and including 600 µm. The described aluminum-containing plates can be treated using typical lithographic printing plate precursor manufacturing processes, including pre-etch, water rinse, roughening, water rinse, post-etch, and final water rinse procedures, in combination with the two or more anodizing process described in more detail below. The raw stock aluminum-containing plate (or support) is typically subjected to a pre-etching step to remove oil, grease, and metallic and other contaminants at or near the support surface. As is known in the art, this pre- etching step can be carried using a sodium hydroxide or other aqueous alkaline solutions or even certain organic solvents at known concentrations, times, and temperatures. A separate or additional degreasing step can be carried out using an aqueous surfactant solution if desired. A skilled worker would be able to carry out routine experimentation to find the optimal pre-etching conditions (for example, optimal solution concentration, dwell time, and temperature). Typically, after the pre-etching step, the etched support is “roughened” in a suitable manner such as by using a known electrochemical or mechanical roughening (or graining) process. In electrochemical graining treatments, the etched support can be processed with alternating electric current in a solution of 5 to 20 g/liter hydrochloric acid. It is also possible to use solutions of nitric acid (for example, at up to 2.5 weight %) or sulfuric acid or mixtures for this purpose. Such electrochemical graining solutions can also contain additives such as corrosion inhibitors and stabilizers, including but not limited to metal nitrates, metal chlorides, monoamines, diamines, aldehydes, phosphoric acid, chromic acid, boric acid, lactic acid, acetic acid, and oxalic acid. For example, electrochemical graining can be carried out using the processes described in U.S. Patent Application Publication 2008/0003411 (Hunter et al.). A skilled worker would be able to determine by routine experimentation the optimal conditions for either electrochemical or mechanical graining as such processes are well known in the art. Mechanical graining processes can be carried out for example with suitable brushes alone or in combination with a slurry of abrasive materials such as silica particles or alumina particles. Alternatively, a combination of mechanical and electrochemical graining processes can be used. During roughening or graining, smut can form on the surface of the aluminum-containing support and this smut can be removed in a post-etching step using a treatment with a highly acidic or highly alkaline solution, for example, to remove 0.01 – 5.0 g/m 2 of the support surface. For example, post-etching can be carried out using a solution of sodium hydroxide, trisodium phosphate, or sulfuric acid. The amount of post-etching can be controlled by setting dwell time, concentration, and temperature of the etching solution. A suitable amount of post- etching also depends on the amount of roughening and the amount of smut formed in that step. The post-etching treatment should be sufficient to remove the smut, but it should not destroy too much of the surface structures formed in the roughening step. Thus, there are many combinations of the parameters that a skilled artisan can consider during routine experimentation to find the optimum post-etching conditions. The foregoing steps result in an electrochemically or mechanically grained (roughened) and etched surface in the aluminum-containing plate (or support) that can be provided in step A) for the manufacturing method according to the present invention. The next steps carried out according to the present invention include at least a first anodizing process and a second anodizing process, both of which are essential to the present invention, to form outer and inner aluminum oxide layers, respectively. The method of the present invention does not require additional anodizing processes (that is, third or more anodizing processes) but one or more additional anodizing processes are possible and thus, optional. The first and second anodizing processes can be generally carried out using sulfuric or phosphoric acid (electrolyte) solutions at a suitable time of at least 20°C and up to and including 70°C for at least 1 second and up to and including 250 seconds, sufficient to provide a total dry aluminum oxide coverage (total for both outer and inner aluminum oxide layers) of up to and including 4 g/m 2 . The conditions are described as follows for both the first and second anodizing processes. Thus, a suitable aluminum-containing plate having an electrochemically or mechanically grained and etched surface as described above is subjected to a first anodizing process in step B) to form an outer aluminum oxide layer on that electrochemically or mechanically grained and etched surface. The first anodizing process can be carried out, for example, using an electrolyte composition containing at least 50 g/liter and up to and including 350 g/liter of phosphoric acid or at least 150 g/liter and up to and including 300 g/liter of sulfuric acid, and a suitable amount of aluminum ions, for example 5 g/liter. These solution amounts can be optimized as to type of acid, acid concentration, aluminum ion concentration, dwell time, and temperature in order to achieve the desired outer aluminum oxide layer properties as described herein. Representative details of such first anodizing process are illustrated in the working Examples described below or in known arts such as U.S. Patent Application Publication 2018/0250925 (Merka et al.), United States Patent Nos.9,259,954 (Tagawa et al.), 8,978,555 (Kurokawa et al.), 8,789,464 (Tagawa et al.), and 8,783,179 (Kurokawa et al.). It is particularly useful to carry out the first anodizing process using phosphoric acid. The resulting outer aluminum oxide layer comprises a multiplicity of outer micropores having an average outer micropore diameter (Do) of at least 12 nm or at least 15 nm, and up to and including 30 nm or even up to and including 50 nm. In addition, the average dry thickness (To) of the outer aluminum oxide layer can be at least 20 nm or at least 50 nm or at least 130 nm or even at least 150, and up to and including 300 nm or up to and including 400 or up to and including 650 nm. In some embodiments, the micropore density (C o ) of the outer anodizing layer can be generally at least 500 micropores/µm 2 and up to and including 3,000 micropores/µm 2 . Moreover, in some embodiments, the average outer micropore diameter (D o ) in nanometers and the micropore density (C o ) in micropores/µm 2 of the outer aluminum oxide layer can be further constrained or related according to each of the following equations: 0.3 < Po < 0.8 or 0.3 < P o < 0.6, wherein porosity Po is defined above. Once the first anodizing process has been carried out for the desired time, the formed outer aluminum oxide layer can be rinsed in step C), if desired, with a suitable solution such as water at a suitable temperature and time to remove residual acid and aluminum, and to stop the first anodizing process. In some embodiments where the average outer micropore diameter (D o ) from the first anodizing process is smaller than the values specified above as often the case where the first anodizing process is carried out in sulfuric acid, a pore-widening process can be added after the first anodizing process and the optional rinse process. The pore-widening process can be carried out in an acidic or basic solution. Details about the pore-widening process can be found in known arts such as United States Patents 9,259,954, 8,978,555, 8,789,464, and 8,783,179, all identified above. After such pore-widening process, another rinse step using a suitable solution such as water can be carried out to remove the acidic or basic ingredients used in the pore-widening process. A step D) additional anodizing process is then carried out to form an inner aluminum oxide layer underneath the outer aluminum oxide layer, using a suitable electrolyte composition that can comprise at least 100 g/liter and up to and including 350 g/liter of sulfuric acid, as well as a suitable amount of aluminum ion, for example 5 g/liter. These solution amounts can be optimized as to acid concentration, aluminum ion concentration, dwell time, and temperature in order to achieve the desired inner aluminum oxide layer properties as described herein. The details of such second anodizing process are illustrated in the working Examples described below. This additional anodizing process is often the “second” and final anodizing process, but in some embodiments, this additional anodizing process is the third and final anodizing process used to form the inner aluminum oxide layer under the middle aluminum oxide layer (described below) The resulting inner aluminum oxide layer disposed on the grained and etched surface of the substrate comprises a multiplicity of inner micropores having an average inner micropore diameter (Di) of less than or equal to 11 nm. In such embodiments, the ratio of D o to D i can be greater than 1.1:1, or even greater than 1.5:1. In addition, the average dry thickness (Ti) of the inner aluminum oxide layer can be at least 300 nm or at least 500 nm, and up to and including 1500 nm or up to and including 3,000 nm. In some embodiments, the outer aluminum oxide layer is disposed directly on the inner aluminum oxide layer, and the average dry thickness (T o ) of the outer aluminum oxide layer is at least 50 nm and the average inner micropore diameter (D i ) is equal to or less than 11 nm, the average dry thickness of the inner aluminum oxide layer (Ti) is at least 500 nm, and the inner pore diameter (Di) is less than the average outer micropore diameter (D o ). Once the second anodizing process is carried out for a desired time, both formed outer aluminum oxide layer and inner aluminum oxide layer can be rinsed in step E), if desired, with a suitable solution such as water, at a suitable temperature and time to remove residual acid and aluminum salts, and to stop the second anodizing process. In some embodiments of the present invention, the aluminum- containing support is subjected to a second (but not final) anodizing process (step C’)) between steps C) and D) using a suitable acid or mixture thereof for a suitable time and at a suitable temperature to provide a middle aluminum oxide layer underneath the outer aluminum oxide layer. This second anodizing process is carried out after the first anodizing process and before the third anodizing process to form the inner aluminum oxide layer. Thus, the middle aluminum oxide layer is generally formed between the outer aluminum oxide layer and the later-formed inner aluminum oxide layer. In such embodiments, the formed middle aluminum oxide layer can have an average dry thickness (T m ) of at least 60 nm and up to and including 300 nm, and can comprise a multiplicity of middle micropores having an average middle micropore diameter (D m ) of at least 20 nm and up to and including 60 nm. In such embodiments, D m is greater than D o that is greater than D i , and To can be less than 150 nm, and the average dry thickness of the outer aluminum oxide layer (T o ) is less than 150 nm. After the formation of this middle aluminum oxide layer, the outer aluminum oxide layer and the middle aluminum oxide layer can be rinsed in step C”) in a manner as described above for the outer aluminum oxide layer alone, and before the inner aluminum oxide layer is formed as noted above. According to this invention it is essential to provide a hydrophilic layer in step F) to be disposed on the outer aluminum oxide layer. The hydrophilic layer can be provided from a hydrophilic layer formulation comprising: (1) one or more phosphorus-containing compounds having a C1 dry coverage, which one or more phosphorus compound are represented by Formula (I) described below; and optionally, (2) one or more hydrophilic polymers having a C2 dry coverage. The hydrophilic layer overall has a dry coverage of at least 50 mg/m 2 and up to and including 500 mg/m 2 . Generally, the hydrophilic layer is disposed directly on the outer aluminum oxide layer so there are no intermediate layers. Since the outer aluminum oxide layer comprises micropores, some of the hydrophilic layer can reside inside such outer micropores and in micropores below the outer aluminum oxide layer. When both (1) and (2) are present, the ratio of the C1 dry coverage to the C2 dry coverage is at least 11:9, and this ratio can be up and including 10:1 or up to and including 30:1, and is generally applied or disposed on the outer aluminum oxide layer to provide a dry coverage of the hydrophilic layer. The C1 dry coverage can be at least 50 mg/m 2 or at least 75 mg/m 2 , and up to and including 200 mg/m 2 or up to and including 300 mg/m 2 . The C2 dry coverage can be zero or up to and including 200 mg/m², or up to and including 100 mg/m² or up to and including 50 mg/m². The (1) one or more phosphorus-containing compounds that are essential to the hydrophilic layer are represented by the following Formula (I): Formula (I) wherein n is zero or an integer from 1 to 10 (and n is particularly, zero). In addition, -OM represents -OH or -O-M + , wherein M + is a monovalent cation such as H + , a sodium cation, a potassium cation, an ammonium cation, an alkyl ammonium cation, a dialkylammonium cation, a trialkylammonium cation, or a tetraalkylammonium cation. Examples of alkyl groups in the alkyl ammonium cation, dialkylammonium cation, trialkylammonium cation, and tetraalkylammonium cations include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl group, n- butyl, iso-butyl, and sec-butyl groups. The M + cations can be the same or different in the same molecule. The alkyl groups can be the same or different in the same cation. Such alkyl groups can be substituted or unsubstituted as a skilled chemist would readily determine. Among various M + cations, ammonium (NH4 + ) is particularly suitable. In addition, the -OM groups are selected for the (1) one or more phosphorus-containing compounds of Formula (I) such that it, alone or in a mixture of such compounds, exhibits a pH of at least 1 and up to and including 10, or at least 1 and up to and including 8, when dissolved in an aqueous solution containing 5 weight % of the (1) one or more phosphorus-containing compounds represented by Formula (I). When two or more phosphorus-containing compounds are used, the mixture of these two or more phosphorus-containing compounds are chosen to satisfy this pH requirement also. The compounds represented by Formula (I) can be obtained from various commercial sources or synthesized using known starting materials and synthetic procedures by a skilled chemist. The hydrophilic layer used in the practice of this invention optionally but preferably comprises (2) one or more hydrophilic polymers at the C2 dry coverage defined above. By “hydrophilic” in reference to these polymers, it is meant that these polymers have a solubility of at least 1% in 25°C water. More specifically, at least one of the (2) one or more hydrophilic polymers comprises a pendant carboxylic acid group, a phosphonic acid group, or a phosphoric acid group, salts (carboxylates, phosphonates, and phosphates) of these groups, or combinations of two or more of these pendant acidic groups (or salts thereof). These acid and salt groups are contributing to water solubility of the hydrophilic polymers and thus contributing to the adhesion of these hydrophilic polymers to the anodic aluminum oxide surface. Thus, these acid and salt groups can be considered surface-bonding hydrophilic groups. In addition to surface-bonding hydrophilic groups, the hydrophilic polymer can comprise non- surface-bonding hydrophilic groups that contribute primarily to the water solubility of the hydrophilic polymers. Useful non-surface-bonding hydrophilic groups include but are not limited to, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, a sulfonate group, and a polyethylene oxide group. The (2) one or more hydrophilic polymers can be synthesized via condensation polymerization or addition polymerization using monomers having surface-bonding hydrophilic groups and non-surface-bonding hydrophilic groups. The addition polymerization of suitable ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable monomers can be initiated using free radical initiators, cationic initiators, and anionic initiators. The surface-bonding and non-surface bonding hydrophilic groups on these hydrophilic polymers can be introduced via polymerization of monomers having these groups or formed through reactions of a suitable precursor polymer having pendant precursor groups that are capable of being converted to the surface-bonding and non-surface bonding hydrophilic groups. Among various synthetic techniques for preparing the (2) one or more hydrophilic polymers of the present invention, free radical addition polymerization of a monomer composition comprising ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable monomers having the surface-bonding and optionally ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable monomers having non-surface-bonding hydrophilic groups is particularly useful. Examples of useful ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable monomers having the surface-bonding hydrophilic groups include but are not limited to, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, maleic acid, vinyl phosphonic acid, acryloyloxyethyl phosphoate, methacryloyloxyethyl phosphoate, polyethylene glycol acrylate phosphate, and polyethylene glycol methacrylate phosphate. Examples of useful ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable monomers having non-surface-bonding hydrophilic groups include but are not limited to, methacrylamide, acrylamide, N,N-dimethyl acrylamide, N- hydroxyethyl methacrylamide, N-(methoxymethyl)acrylamide, hydroxyethyl acrylate, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, N-vinylpyrrolidone, sodium p-styrene sulfonate, acrylamidopropylsulfonic acid sodium salt, and polyethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate. Mixtures of two or more of these monomers can be used to provide a variety of recurring units. Among the monomers with non- surface-bonding hydrophilic groups, those having at least one amide group such as acrylamide or methacrylamide is particularly useful. In some embodiments, the recurring units derived from a monomer having an amide group can comprise up to 95 mol % of the total amount of recurring units in the hydrophilic polymer, and recurring units derived from monomers having the hydrophilic surface-bonding groups such as one or more of a carboxylic acid group, a carboxylic acid salt, or a carboxylate salt, can comprise up to and including 50 mol %, typically up to and including 40 mol % or up to and including 30 mol % of the total amount of recurring units in the hydrophilic polymer. Thus, in some embodiments wherein the (2) one or more hydrophilic polymers are present in the hydrophilic layer, the (2) one or more hydrophilic polymers comprise a hydrophilic polymer comprise: recurring units comprising a carboxylic acid, a phosphonic acid, a phosphoric acid group, or a salt or ester of any of these acids; and optionally, recurring units comprising an amide group. If mixtures of the (2) one or more hydrophilic polymers are present, they can have different recurring unit compositions and/or different amounts of recurring units. Besides the (1) one or more phosphorus-containing compounds with or without the (2) one or more hydrophilic polymers, the hydrophilic layer can include one or more surfactants, leveling agents, chelating agents, and biocides. The process used to form the hydrophilic layer can be carried out in any suitable manner as described for examples in [0058] - [0061] of U.S. Patent Application Publication 2014/0047993 (noted above). A particularly useful technique for forming the hydrophilic layer is to coat a desired amount of the hydrophilic layer formulation in a suitable solvent such as water directly onto the outer aluminum oxide layer and then drying the resulting wet coating. After all of these essential treatments, the resulting inventive aluminum-containing substrates, in any suitable form such as flat sheets or continuous webs or coils, are ready for the preparation of lithographic printing plate precursors according to the present invention. Infrared Radiation-sensitive Imageable Layers and Precursors In general, a single on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer can be formed or disposed over the hydrophilic layer of the inventive aluminum-containing substrate in a suitable manner using suitable on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation- sensitive imageable layer formulations as described in more detail below. Negative-working Lithographic Printing Plate Precursors: The precursors of the present invention can be formed by suitable application of an on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation- sensitive composition as described below to a suitable inventive aluminum- containing substrate (as described above) to form an on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer on that substrate. In general, the on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive composition (and resulting on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer) comprises (a) one or more free radically polymerizable components, (b) an initiator composition that provides free radicals upon exposure to imaging radiation (such as infrared radiation defined herein), and (c) an infrared radiation absorber that comprises an anionic chromophore having a net negative charge or an acidic group, as essential components, and optionally, a polymeric binder that is different from all of (a), (b), and (c), all of which essential and optional components are described in more detail below. The on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer is generally the outermost layer in the precursor, but in some embodiments, there can be an outermost overcoat (also known as a topcoat or oxygen barrier layer, and described below) disposed thereover as the outermost layer. The on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation- sensitive composition (and on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer prepared therefrom) comprises (a) one or more free radically polymerizable components, each of which contains one or more free radically polymerizable groups (and two or more of such groups in some embodiments) that can be polymerized using free radical initiation. In some embodiments, the on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation- sensitive imageable layer comprises two or more free radically polymerizable components having the same or different numbers of free radically polymerizable groups in each molecule. Useful free radically polymerizable components can contain one or more free radical polymerizable monomers or oligomers having one or more addition polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated groups (for example, two or more of such groups). Similarly, crosslinkable polymers having such free radically polymerizable groups can also be used. Oligomers or prepolymers, such as urethane acrylates and methacrylates, epoxide acrylates and methacrylates, polyester acrylates and methacrylates, polyether acrylates and methacrylates, and unsaturated polyester resins can be used. In some embodiments, the free radically polymerizable component comprises carboxyl groups. It is possible for one or more free radically polymerizable components to have large enough molecular weight to enhance the mechanical properties of the on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation- sensitive imageable layer and thus make the corresponding lithographic printing plate precursors suitable for transportation in typical packaging and for handling during normal prepress operation. Numerous other free radically polymerizable components are known in the art and are described in considerable literature including EP 1,182,033A1 (Fujimaki et al.), beginning with paragraph [0170], and in U.S Patents 6,309,792 (Hauck et al.), 6,569,603 (Furukawa), and 6,893,797 (Munnelly et al.), and U.S. Patent Application Publication 2009/0142695 (Baumann et al.). The (a) one or more free radically polymerizable components are generally present in an on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation- sensitive imageable layer in an amount of at least 10 weight % or of at least 20 weight %, and up to and including 50 weight % or up to and including 70 weight %, all based on the total dry weight of the on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer. The on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation- sensitive imageable layer used in the present invention also comprises (b) an initiator composition that provides free radicals in the presence of a suitable infrared radiation absorber, upon exposure of the on-press developable, negative- working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer to suitable imaging infrared radiation to initiate the polymerization of the one or more free radically polymerizable components. Useful initiator compositions for infrared radiation-sensitive compositions and imageable layers include but are not limited to, onium salts such as ammonium, iodonium, sulfonium, and phosphonium compounds that are described in detail in [0131] of U.S. Patent Application Publication 2014/0047993 (noted above). Examples of the onium salts include triarylsulfonium, diaryliodonium, diaryldiazonium, wherein the aryl groups include phenyl group and naphthyl group and can be substituted. An onium salt can be obtained by combining an onium salt having sulfonium or iodonium in the molecule with an onium salt in the molecule. The onium salt can be a polyvalent onium salt having at least two onium ion atoms in the molecule that are bonded through a covalent bond. Among polyvalent onium salts, those having at least two onium ion atoms in the molecule are useful and those having a sulfonium or iodonium cation in the molecule are particularly useful. Representative polyvalent onium salts are represented by the following Furthermore, the onium salts described in paragraphs [0033] to [0038] of the specification of Japanese Patent Publication 2002-082429 [or U.S. Patent Application Publication 2002-0051934 (Ippei et al.)] or the iodonium borate complexes described in U.S. Patent 7,524,614 (noted above), can also be used. Useful anions for iodonium salts include but are not limited to, ClO 4 -, PF 6 -, BF 4 -, SbF 6 -, CH 3 SO 3 -, CF 3 SO 3 -, C 6 H 5 SO 3 -, CH 3 C 6 H 4 SO 3 -, HOC6H4SO3-, ClC6H4SO3-, and borate anions represented by the following Structure (VII): B-(R 1 )(R 2 )(R 3 )(R 4 ) (VII) wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 independently represent substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl (including halogen-substituted aryl groups), substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, or substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic groups, or two or more of R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 can be joined together to form a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic ring with the boron atom, such rings having up to 7 carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen atoms. In some embodiments, all of the R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 are the same or different substituted or unsubstituted aryl groups such as substituted or unsubstituted phenyl groups, or more likely all of these groups are unsubstituted phenyl groups. In many embodiments, at least one of X1, X2, and X3 is a tetraarylborate anion comprising the same or different aryl groups, or in particularly useful embodiments, one or more is a tetraphenylborate anion or each of X 1 , X 2 , and X 3 is a tetraphenylborate anion. The initiator composition is generally present in the on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer sufficient to provide one or more polymerization initiators in an amount of at least 0.5 weight % or at least 2 weight %, or even at least 4 weight %, and up to and including 12 weight % or up to and including 15 weight % or up to and including 20 weight %, all based on the total dry weight of the on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer. In addition, the on-press developable infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer also comprises (c) one or more infrared radiation absorbers, each of which comprises an anionic chromophore having a net negative charge or an acidic group, to provide desired infrared radiation sensitivity when imaged using appropriate imaging devices (such as infrared radiation-emitting lasers) in response to digital information. In other words, none of these one or more infrared radiation absorbers has a cationic chromophore having a net positive charge and no acidic groups, and none of these one or more infrared radiation absorbers has a net zero charge and no acidic groups. Each of the (c) one or more infrared radiation absorbers can further comprise one or more suitable counterions to the anionic chromophore that would be readily apparent to one skilled in the art. Suitable one or more infrared radiation absorbers that can be infrared radiation absorbing dyes having an anionic chromophore having the requisite net negative charge are known in the art, including but not limited to, those described in U.S. Patents 6,511,782 (Vermeersch et al.), 5,208,135 (Patel et al.), 7,368,215 (Munnelly et al.), 8,409,780 (Callant et al.), and 8,778,590 (Callant). A particularly useful class of the (c) one or more infrared radiation absorbers according to the present invention comprises an anionic chromophore that is represented by the following Formula (II each X independently represents >S, >O, >NR or >C(R)2; each R 1 independently is an optionally substituted alkyl group; R 2 represents a hydrogen, halogen, -SR, -SO2R, -OR, or -NR2 group; each R 3 independently represents a hydrogen atom, an optionally substituted alkyl group, -COO-, -COOR, -OR, -SR, -NR2, a halogen atom, a sulfonate group, or an optionally substituted benzofused ring; - - - represents an optional carbocyclic five- or six-membered ring; each R independently represents hydrogen, an optionally substituted alkyl group, or an optionally substituted aryl group; each n independently is 0, 1, 2, or 3; and at least one of R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 comprises one or more of a sulfonate group, sulfonic acid group, a carboxylate group, and carboxylic acid group, sufficient to provide a net negative charge or an acidic group to Formula (II).

The net negative charge on the anionic chromophore represented by Formula (II) can be balanced with a cation Z + to form a neutral infrared radiation absorber. Suitable cations Z + include M + as described in Formula (I) and an onium salt such as the cation of a diaryliodonium salt as described above for the (b) initiator composition. Specific Examples of useful anionic infrared radiation absorbers (AIR) having a chromophore represented by Formula (II) are shown below.

the on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer is at least 5 mg/m 2 or at least 10 mg/m 2 , and up to and including 100 mg/m 2 or up to and including 200 mg/m 2 . It is optional but desirable in many embodiments that the on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer further comprise one or more (d) polymeric binders (or materials that act as polymeric binders) for all of the materials in the noted layer. Such polymer binders are different from all of the (a), (b), and (c) materials described above. These polymeric binders are generally non-crosslinkable and non-polymerizable, and at least one of these polymeric binders can be in particulate form. Such (d) polymeric binders can be selected from a number of polymeric binder materials known in the art including polymers comprising recurring units having side chains comprising polyalkylene oxide segments such as those described in for example, U.S. Patent 6,899,994 (Huang et al.). Other useful (d) polymeric binders comprise two or more types of recurring units having different side chains comprising polyalkylene oxide segments as described in for example WO Publication 2015-156065 (Kamiya et al.). Some of such (d) polymeric binders can further comprise recurring units having pendant cyano groups as those described in for example U.S. Patent 7,261,998 (Hayashi et al.). Some useful (d) polymeric binders can be present in particulate form, that is, in the form of discrete, non-agglomerated particles. Such discrete particles can have an average particle size of at least 10 nm and up to and including 1500 nm, or typically of at least 80 nm and up to and including 600 nm, and are generally distributed uniformly within the on-press developable, negative- working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer. For example, one or more useful (d) polymeric binders can be present in the form of particles having an average particle size of at least 50 nm and up to and including 400 nm. Average particle size can be determined by various known methods including measuring the particles in electron scanning microscope images, and averaging a set number of measurements. The (d) polymeric binders also can have a backbone comprising multiple (at least two) urethane moieties as well as pendant groups comprising the polyalkylenes oxide segments. Other useful (d) polymeric binders can comprise polymerizable groups such as acrylate ester, methacrylate ester, vinyl aryl, and allyl groups and as well as alkali soluble groups such as carboxylic acid. Some of these useful (d) polymeric binders are described in U.S. Patent Application Publication 2015/0099229 (Simpson et al.) and U.S. Patent 6,916,595 (Fujimaki et al.). Useful (d) polymeric binders generally have a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of at least 2,000 and up to and including 500,000, or at least 20,000 and up to and including 300,000, as determined by Gel Permeation Chromatography (polystyrene standard). The total (d) polymeric binders can be present in the on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer in an amount of at least 10 weight % or of at least 20 weight %, and up to and including 50 weight % or up to and including 70 weight %, based on the total dry weight of the on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer. Other polymeric materials known in the art (different from the (d) polymeric binders) can be present in the on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer and such polymeric materials are generally more hydrophilic or more hydrophobic than the (d) polymeric binders described above. Examples of such hydrophilic polymeric binders include but are not limited to, cellulose derivatives such as hydroxypropyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, and polyvinyl alcohol with various degrees of saponification. More hydrophobic polymeric binders are less developable than the (d) polymeric binders described above and typically have an acid value less than 20 mg KOH/g for all acidic groups having a pKa below 7 and their corresponding salts. Additional optional additives to the on-press developable, negative- working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer can include organic dyes or organic dye precursors and color developers as are known in the art. Such optional additives can be used as print-out colorants and can be present in an amount of at least 1 weight % and up to and including 10 weight %, based on the total dry weight of the on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation- sensitive imageable layer. Other useful print-out colorants are known in the art and can include azo dyes, triarylmethane dyes, cyanine dyes, and spirolactone or spirolactam colorants as described for example in U.S. Patent Application Publication 2009/0047599 (Horne et al.) and the various printout chemistries described in U.S. Patent Application Publications 2021/0078350 (Viehmann et al.) and 2021/0302834 (Viehmann et al.), and U.S. Serial No.’s 17/685,570 (filed March 3, 2022 by Simpson et al.), 17/685,592 (filed March 3, 2002 by Simpson et al.), and 17/720,405 (filed April 14, 2022 by Hansmann et al.). The on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation- sensitive imageable layer can include crosslinked polymer particles having an average particle size of at least 2 µm, or of at least 4 µm, and up to and including 20 µm as described for example in U.S. Patents 8,383,319 (Huang et al.), 8,105,751 (Endo et al), and 9,366,962 (Kamiya et al.). Overcoat: While in many embodiments of the inventive lithographic printing plate precursors, the on-press developable, negative-working radiation-sensitive imageable layer is the outermost layer with no layers disposed thereon, it is possible that the inventive precursors can be designed with a layer (also known in the art as an overcoat or a topcoat) disposed over (or directly on) the on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer (no intermediate layers between these two layers). When present, this overcoat is generally the outermost layer of the precursor and can be hydrophilic or hydrophobic. Overcoats can comprise one or more film-forming water-soluble polymeric binders in an amount of at least 60 weight % and up to and including 100 weight %, based on the total dry weight of the hydrophilic overcoat. Such film-forming water-soluble (or hydrophilic) polymeric binders can include a modified or unmodified poly(vinyl alcohol) having a saponification degree of at least 30%, or a degree of at least 75%, or a degree of at least 90%, and a degree of up to and including 99.9%. The overcoat can be provided at a dry coating coverage of at least 0.1 g/m 2 or at least 0.15 g/m 2 and up to and including 2.5 g/m 2 but less than 4 g/m 2 . In some embodiments, the dry coating coverage is as low as 0.1 g/m 2 and up to and including 1.5 g/m 2 or at least 0.1 g/m 2 and up to and including 0.9 g/m 2 , such that the overcoat is relatively thin. Making Lithographic Printing Plate Precursors The inventive lithographic printing plate precursors can be provided in the following manner. An on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer formulation comprising materials described above can be applied to the inventive aluminum-containing substrate that is usually in a continuous substrate roll or web, as described above using any suitable equipment and procedure, such as spin coating, knife coating, gravure coating, die coating, slot coating, bar coating, wire rod coating, roller coating, or extrusion hopper coating. The on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer formulation can also be applied by spraying onto a suitable inventive aluminum-containing substrate. Typically, once this formulation is applied at a suitable wet coverage, it is dried in a suitable manner known in the art to provide a desired dry coverage as noted below, thereby providing an infrared radiation-sensitive continuous article that can be in any suitable form such as a web from which individual precursors can be prepared using known manufacturing processes. The manufacturing methods typically include mixing the various components needed for a particular on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer chemistry in a suitable organic solvent or mixtures thereof and removing the solvent(s) by evaporation under suitable drying conditions. After proper drying, the dry coverage of the on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer on an inventive substrate is generally at least 0.1 g/m 2 or at least 0.4 g/m 2 , and up to and including 2 g/m 2 or up to and including 4 g/m 2 but other dry coverage amounts can be used if desired. In practical manufacturing conditions, the result of these coating operations is a continuous web or roll of infrared radiation-sensitive lithographic printing plate precursor material having an on-press developable, negative- working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer and any optional layers noted above disposed on the inventive aluminum-containing substrate described above. Imaging (Exposing) Conditions During use, a lithographic printing plate precursor of this invention can be exposed on-press to a suitable source of exposing infrared radiation depending upon the infrared radiation absorber present in the on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer. For example, the lithographic printing plate precursor can be imaged with infrared lasers that emit significant radiation within the range of at least 750 nm and up to and including 1400 nm, or of at least 800 nm and up to and including 1250 nm. The result of such imagewise exposure is to provide exposed regions and non- exposed regions in the exposed on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer. Imaging can be carried out using imaging or exposing infrared radiation from an infrared radiation-generating laser (or array of such lasers). Imaging also can be carried out using imaging infrared radiation at multiple wavelengths at the same time if desired. The laser used to expose the inventive precursor is usually a diode laser, because of the reliability and low maintenance of diode laser systems, but other lasers such as gas or solid-state lasers can also be used. The combination of power, intensity and exposure time for infrared radiation imaging would be readily apparent to one skilled in the art. Infrared radiation imaging energies can be at least 30 mJ/cm 2 and up to and including 500 mJ/cm 2 and typically at least 50 mJ/cm 2 and up to and including 300 mJ/cm 2 depending upon the sensitivity of the on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer. Processing (Development) and Printing After infrared imagewise exposing, the exposed precursor having exposed regions and non-exposed regions in the on-press developable radiation- sensitive imageable layer can be processed on-press in a suitable manner to remove the non-exposed regions and any overcoat if present, and leaving intact the hardened exposed regions. For example, the inventive precursors are on-press developable using a lithographic printing ink, a fountain solution, or a combination of a lithographic printing ink and a fountain solution. In such embodiments, an imaged on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive lithographic printing plate precursor according to the present invention can be mounted onto a printing press and the printing operation is then begun. The non- exposed regions in the on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation- sensitive imageable layer are removed by a suitable fountain solution, lithographic printing ink, or a combination of both, when the initial printed impressions are made. In a typical printing press startup with a sheet-fed printing machine, the dampening roller is engaged first and supplies fountain solution to the mounted imaged precursor to swell the exposed on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer at least in the non- exposed regions. After a few revolutions, the inking rollers are engaged and they supply lithographic printing ink(s) to cover the entire printing surface of the lithographic printing plates. Typically, within 5 to 20 revolutions after the inking roller engagement, printing sheets are supplied to remove the non-exposed regions of the on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layer from the lithographic printing plate as well as materials on a blanket cylinder if present, using the formed ink-fountain solution emulsion.

The following Examples are provided to illustrate the practice of this invention and are not meant to be limiting in any manner. Invention Examples 1-16 and Comparative Examples 1-8: Types A and B aluminum-containing substrates used to prepare the negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive lithographic printing plate precursors of the Invention Examples and Comparative Examples were prepared according to the general processes described above. Type A Support: This aluminum-containing support prepared as the aluminum- containing substrate of Invention Example 1 described U.S. Patent 10,363,734 (noted above). Thus, the Type A Support had an inner aluminum oxide layer and an outer aluminum oxide layer. Type B Support: This aluminum-containing support prepared as the aluminum- containing Type 3 Substrate (or “support”) described U.S. Serial No.17/189,497 filed March 2, 2021, now published as U.S. Patent Application 2022/0194112A1 (noted above). Thus, the Type B Support had an inner aluminum oxide layer, a middle aluminum oxide layer, and an outer aluminum oxide layer. Synthesis of Copolymer for Hydrophilic Layer: Polymer 1 that was a copolymer derived from vinyl phosphonic acid and acrylamide (molar ratio of 1:9) was prepared as follows: 3500 g of ethanol was charged into a 10 liter reaction vessel fitted with a condenser and heated at 70ºC. 231.1 g of vinyl phosphonic acid monomer and 1368.9 g of acrylamide monomer were mixed into 1000 g of ethanol, and 52 g of commercially-available azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) polymerization initiator was dissolved into the monomer mixture. This monomer mixture with AIBN was then added dropwise into the 10-liter reaction vessel at 70ºC, over the course of 4 hours. After this addition, the resulting reaction mixture was kept at 70ºC for 2 hours and then cooled to room temperature. The resulting Polymer 1 copolymer was precipitated as a white powder that was isolated by filtration and washed with 1 liter of ethanol. The polymer yield was determined to be 1550 g. Preparation of Hydrophilic Layer Formulations: Hydrophilic layer formulations for use in the various working examples were prepared with the components described in the following TABLE I. TABLE I: Hydrophilic Layer Formulations TABLE I (continued) TABLE I (continued) ACUMER TM 1000 Polymer is an aqueous solution (50 weight %) of poly(acrylic acid) that was obtained from The Dow Chemical Company. Takesurf TM D-410-GL is a leveling agent that was obtained from TAKEMOTO OIL & FAT CO., LTD. Each hydrophilic layer formulation shown in TABLE I was coated onto a sample of a Type A or B Support using a wire-wound coating bar at a wet coverage of 20 g/m 2 . Each of the resulting aluminum-containing substrate was dried at 80 o C for 2 minutes. The dry coverage of each dry hydrophilic layer is shown in TABLE I above. Preparation of on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive precursors: Coating formulations MC-1, MC-2, and MC-3 of on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imageable layers were prepared using the components and amounts shown in the following TABLE II, dissolved or dispersed at a total solids content of 5 weight % in a coating solvent mixture of 35 weight % of n-propanol, 20 weight % of 2-methoxy propanol, 35 weight % of 2-butanone, and 10 weight % of water. The raw materials that are identified below in TABLE II can be obtained from one or more commercial sources of chemicals or were prepared using known synthetic methods and starting materials. Other materials are described in the following TABLE III. TABLE II Coating of these formulations was carried out using a wire-wound coating bar on an aluminum-containing substrate comprising a hydrophilic layer and dried 80 o C for 2 minutes to provide on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive image-recording layers, each having a dry coverage of 1 g/m 2 . The resulting lithographic printing plate precursors are shown in the following TABLE IV. TABLE IV TABLE IV - continued Each lithographic printing plate precursor identified above was imaged using a Kodak Magnus 800 image setter and an exposure energy in a solid area of 150 mJ/cm². The following evaluations were made of each imaged precursor or of the corresponding non-imaged precursor. On-press Developability (DOP): Each of the lithographic printing plate precursors was imaged as noted above and then mounted onto a Roland R-201 press machine for on-press development. A fountain solution [Presarto WS 100 marketed by DIC Graphics)/isopropyl alcohol/water 1/ 1/98 (volume ratio)], a blanket of S-7400 (Kin-yo-sha), OK topcoat paper matte N grade paper (Oji paper) as printing paper, and lithographic printing ink (Fusion G Magenta N marketed by DIC Graphics) were supplied to the printing press, and printing was performed at printing rate of 9,000 sheets/hour. On-press developability was evaluated by the number of printed paper sheets (or impressions) after which no ink transfer was observed in the non-imaging areas. DOP with the following two types of lithographic printing plates were evaluated. Samples of each of the lithographic printing plate precursors were packaged with a light shielding paper immediately after the manufacture and stored at 25°C for 7 days (in the case identified as ‘NK7’). Also, samples of each of the lithographic printing plate precursors were stored in a commercially available humidity chamber ETAC FX-430 at 40°C and 80% RH for 7 days (in the case identified as ‘HT7’). In the evaluation, DOP at less than 50 sheets (impressions) is preferable, and DOP at more than 100 sheets (impressions) is unacceptable on this press condition. The smaller the number of gaps between DOP with the case identified as NK7 and DOP with the case identified as HT7 is, the better the stability the precursor with the lapse of time after manufacture. Press life without Ozone Exposure: Each of the lithographic printing plate precursors was imaged as described above and the resulting image precursors were mounted onto a Komori S-26 press machine at 8,000 rpm and printing press life was evaluated with a mixture of 1% K701 (DIC Graphics) and 10% isopropanol in water as a fountain solution, a blanket of S-7400 (Kin-yo-sha), OK topcoat paper matte N grade paper (Oji paper) as printing paper, and K Magenta N grade lithographic printing ink (DIC Graphics). When the number of printed paper sheets (copies or impressions) increased by continued printing, the on-press developable, negative-working infrared radiation-sensitive imaging layer of the lithographic printing plate was gradually worn away, and the ink receptivity thereof deteriorated. Thus, the ink density on the printed paper sheets was reduced. The press life was determined as the number of copies (or impressions) when the reflection density of solid area on the obtained printed sheet was reduced to 90% of that when printing began. The greater the number of the copies (or impressions) when this degradation occurred, the better the press life. Press life with Ozone Exposure: Before imaging, each of the lithographic printing plate precursors was exposed to a controlled amount of ozone inside of a commercially available humidity chamber ETAC FX-430 where the ozone concentration was controlled at 1 ppm and the chamber temperature was controlled at 25 o C. The following equipment was used for controlling the ozone concentration: Kotohira portable ozone generator KPO-T01 as the ozone source, Kanomax Gasmaster model 2750 as the ozone monitor. The ozone exposure time for each precursor was 6 hours, corresponding to an ozone exposure dose of 21,600 ppm∙s (wherein “ppm” is a unit of ozone concentration in parts per million by volume and “s” is short for second, a unit of time). After this exposure to ozone, each precursors was imaged and evaluated for press life as described above for the precursors that were not exposed to ozone. The results of all of these evaluations are shown in the following TABLE V. TABLE V TABLE V - continued From the results shown in TABLE V, it can be seen that the precursors of Invention Examples 1 through 16 containing an anionic IR dye and inventive aluminum-containing substrate exhibited desirably fast on-press development of imaged precursors from the case labeled NK7, and the imaged precursors of the case labeled HT7, as well as small DOP gap. These inventive precursors exhibited long press life of imaged regardless of whether the non- exposed precursors had been exposed to ozone or not. While the precursors of Comparative Examples 1, 4, and 7 contained an anionic IR dye, they contained an aluminum-containing substrate outside of the scope of the present invention because the dry coverage of phosphoric acid in the hydrophilic layer is greater than 300 mg/m². They exhibited desirably fast on-press development of the imaged precursors from the case labeled NK7, the imaged precursors of the case labeled HT7, as well as small DOP gap, these Comparative precursors exhibited poor press life regardless of whether the non-imaged precursors had been exposed to ozone or not. While the precursors of Comparative Examples 2, 3, 5, and 8 contained an anionic IR dye, they contained an aluminum-containing substrate outside the scope of the present invention because the dry coverage of phosphoric acid in the hydrophilic layer is less than 50 mg/m². They exhibited long press life regardless of whether the non-imaged precursors were exposed to ozone or not, but they exhibited extremely slow on-press development after HT7 and a large DOP gap. Such extremely slow on-press development after HT7 is believed to be caused by salt formation salt between the anionic chromophore of the infrared radiation absorber in the on-press developable, negative working infrared radiation imageable layer and aluminum ion Al 3+ of aluminum sulfate released from the anodic layer of the inventive substrate during storage of the precursors under the HT7 condition. The precursor of Comparative Example 6 contained a cationic dye and an aluminum-containing substrate according to the present invention. However, while this precursor exhibited desirably fast on-press development for the case identified as NK7, and on-press development for the case identified as HT7, as well as a small DOP gap, and the non-imaged precursors exhibited long press life if they were not exposed to ozone. However, these precursors exhibited poor press life if they had been exposed to ozone before imaging.
