Hi ,where can I get the yellow safelight/sleeve to be used with AGFA Aspire Violet plates , my customer is cutting his plates
in total darkness at moment , spec for the fluorescent sleeves ?
 
Agfa spec is V50 encapsulite filter wrap or Osram L36 W62 tubes. I've successfully used whatever brand of yellow fluorescent tubes I found in local hardware stores for Agfa Aspire, AzuraVi and Kodak Libra. Most such tubes work, it's just you have to place the lights at least 3 meters away from plates to make sure you won't fog them. To test, place a coin on a plate in ctp area for 5 minutes then process - you shouldn't see a bluish circle.
