Azura TE Light Sensitivity...

I thought I would follow up and let others know what we found out. Our problems seem to have been with our Crestline dampening system hitting the plates with ink and water at the same time. While this works just fine on Kodak Sanora XP that we had been running, with the Azura TE plates it didn't. If before mounting, we simply use Agfa's washout gum solution to clean the plates everything works great.

The Azura plate is not designed for roll-up developing on press, whereas the Sonora plate is.

We were told the TE should work. We are switching to Sonora.
