An image recording apparatus includes: a first guide member having a first sliding surface; a second guide member having another first sliding surface; and a carriage being supported by the first sliding surfaces of the first and second guide members. The carriage includes first sliding convex parts protruding from a lower surface side thereof and coming in contact with the first sliding surfaces of the first and second guide members, and a coming-out preventing pawl disposed to hold at least one of the first and second guide members in cooperation with the first sliding convex part. At least one of the first and second guide members includes a notch part at a specified position, and the carriage is detachable from the first and second guide members by causing the coming-out preventing pawl to pass through the notch part.

Disclosed is a support for a lithographic printing plate which, when measured over a 400 µm x 400 µm surface region thereon using a three-dimensional non-contact roughness tester, has at most 5.0 convex portions of a height from centerline of at least 0.70 µm and an equivalent circle diameter of at least 20 µm, and has at least 800 concave portions of a depth from centerline of at least 0.50 µm and an equivalent circle diameter of at least 2.0 µm. Presensitized plates which are obtainable by using the support for a lithographic printing plate according to the present invention have an excellent scumming resistance and an extremely long press life.
