    AGFA Avalon Imaging Competitors Plates?

    Anyone using an Avalon N setter, but not using Agfa plates? If yes, what plates? I've been told that as long as the laser can handle it, you can use any competitors plates with the same rating: 830 nm Thermal.

    Anyone using Trueflow from Screen?

    I'm getting proposals from Screen to swap out my ApogeeX front end for their Trueflow system. Anyone using Trueflow? I've seen their webinar and I have to say the GUI is lacking and the whole interface seemed complicated. Any opinions or advice? Thanks
