It depends on maximum laser diode power of your machine.
5 mW: no choise - AGFA LAP-V.

Palladio CTP. I have a problem, get a spot along the plate, as if in that area the laser does not come with enough power. I checked the rule development process for processing failures Agfa LP86, all is well. What do you think is the cause of this failure?

We have a Heidelberg ProSetter running violet . .. . the biggest maintenance tip I can give you is KEEP THE PROCESSOR CLEAN after that keeping the filters in the ProSetter clean

The maintenance on our violet Agfa processor was messy nightmare. I am SO glad that about 2 years ago we switched to Kodak Thermal Direct plates, no processor to deal with, and the plates printer better than the Agfa LapV plates.

There is a dust on the edges of facets, it's time to clean the spinner mirror - very common problem.
