No one plate is best for all applications.
Nor, is one engine or laser technology best for all applications.
To complicate things further, Agfa has violet photopolymer,
chem-free violet photopolymer, and violet silver (diffusion
transfer) plate technologies.
Given that, I'd vote for the company that has the broadest
portfolio of technologies to best fit different printing demands.
