A lithographic printing plate precursor has an
aluminum substrate prepared using two anodization processes to provide an inner aluminum
oxide layer having an average dry thickness of 300-3,000 nm and having a plurality of inner micropores having an average inner micropore
diameter of <100 nm. An outer aluminum
oxide layer is provided with a plurality of outer micropores having an average outer micropore
diameter of 15-30 nm and a dry thickness of 30-650 nm. A hydrophilic layer is provided on the outer aluminum
oxide layer having (1) a compound having an ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable group, an -OM group directly attached to a
phosphorus atom, wherein M represents a
hydrogen,
sodium,
potassium, or aluminum atom; and (2) one or more
hydrophilic polymers having (a) a repeating unit comprising an
amide group, and (b) a repeating unit having an -OM' group directly attached to a
phosphorus atom, wherein M' represents a
hydrogen,
sodium,
potassium, or aluminum atom. 2 An outer aluminum oxide layer is provided with a plurality of outer micropores having an average outer micropore
