Fuji vs Konica violet plates

[jboet]

Anyone have an opinion on switching from Fuji to Konica plates. The cost savings is almost to good to be true.

I heard that quality might be different. Make sure u test them first.

Konica Plates work fine

Konica Plates work fine

Fuji Plates are great plates...however Konica Plates are great too. Fuji Violet Plates require higher laser power so in most cases a 30 mW violet laser just won't cut it, you need a 60mW laser. The Konica plate has close to the same laser spec as the Agfa N91V plates, can use 30mW and 60mW lasers...i would say if the plates and processor are set up correctly you won't see any difference in print quality.
