Hi,
We have a Agfa 5MW Galileo 8 up platesetter, Apogee X3.5,and Agfa Print Drive (waiting to install 4.0. Have the software but no installer yet) . I would like to find out the best way
to upgrade this CTP as this is 5 years old. Works great but plate cost is way too much.
Is it best to just move on to a thermal or upgrade to a 30/60 MW Violet and wait for a process less violet. Does any one know how much the upgrade be from Agfa or any
after market vendor. Please let me know if any one has gone the upgrade route.
As far as thermal is concerned, I heard that Agfa will no longer make Avalon and will sell
Screen GLV machine. That leaves only Kodak and Screen ( Fuji as well) to choose from.
I am not sure about any less known brands. Has any one been able to keep the Agfa Print
drive running properly with non Agfa CTP.
