Can I have some suggestions/recommendations for a film backed material that can be used for rotary embossing that would give good results. Looking for a digital material that washes out with water. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone know or tried developing another manufacturer's digital plate using the cyrel fast? If so, what are your experiences. We currently use dupont plates only, just wondering if there are any options.

thanks bobbyc for elaborating. That is correct.

there are mac versions already, and have been for a long time. We use automation engine on macs here...Actually the entire design and prepress dept use macs with automation engine to run workflows.
