What about Chemistry? I understand lower pH but voc?

I would always run with a linearization curve. The simple thought behind is it is easy to track and if a portion of the process fails or weakens, laser, chemistry, plate, and a change in exposure or hardware on your platesetter must be made, it is easy to get back on track of where you were...

CTP Effluent Reducer CTP Effluent Reducer Be wary of these third party companies that promise reduced chemistry. Ask many questions about how the system works before slapping down your hard earned money. First off the filter pump only is engaged when the processor calls for replenishment...

The whole picture The whole picture In my humble opinion, I would look at the entire picture. As far a Saphira, its an Agfa product offered by Heidelberg. This said Agfa WONT offer Heidelberg any support so you will have press mechanics working on this thing. How far away are they when you...

Why? Why? My question would be why would you want to mix the two? By design Fuji Chemistry is meant to work with the Fuji Plate and likewise with Kodak. They are both very different products even though they both say "Thermal" on the box. That is where the similarities end. In todays wold...
