Agreed. With CTP taking over for film it is a snap to re make plates compared to the old days when film required multiple burns and could take hours to re make plates.

Steve, During my print test with the Azura plate we tested a job that we printed using the PJ plates. After comparing the 2 there was a difference in the low screen areas. The Azura had a slight "model" look in a graduated screen. The PJ plates printed smooth. My salesman said that this...

Prepper, We have gone with the Azua TS. It is about 4 plates per hour slower to image but it came down to the processor. We have a small shop and with conventional processor, oxidation of the chemistry would happen faster thus more chemistry changes. Also, the fuji processor is twice the...

We use Toyo LZ series - (I think all Toyo ink is uni-tack ink) in our 4 color press. What my guys like about it is it doesn't skin if you leave it in the fountains overnight. You will see that cleaning 4 fountains every night can be a real chore. Also is sets up very well meaning less chance...

Lukas, What do you do with the half full container you just took out? Is this considered the spent material?

We are trying to decide between the Fuji PJ plate which is a conventional CTP plate and the Azura TS plate. 1. It there much difference in cost between the two when it comes to chemistry? 2. Is system maintenance much greater with one vs. the other? 3. For those using the Azura plate...

Anyone one have any comments of these 2 workflows? I am looking at both and would like to get some feed back on which one is the best value. Thanks in advance!

We have a small print shop (1 shift only) with 28" sheet being our largest press. Currently we out source all our plate but it has come time to invest in a CTP system. The 2 work flow option I am looking at are Rampage and Apogee. Of course they both have their own levels but I inquiring...

frailer, What platform do you use - mac or PC? I also read some stability issues while using a mac.

Cosmo, it's been a few months now. How is XMF working for you? My fuji rep is presenting this workflow because they dropped Trueflow for what he said is bad customer support. Any update would be appreciated.
