Going Processor-less??? Advice needed

[PantherMac]

Only Kodak´s Thermal Direct and Fujifilm´s are ready to print after exposure, and do not need any special wash to remove the non-exposed area (both are sensitive for 830nm Thermal laser)... and therfore there is no need to pay for fresh and exhausted "chemistry".

Ditto. I've used both plates, completely interchangeable on our Creo and in the pressroom.
If floor-space and chem. costs are your concerns, get a chem-free plate, that doesn't require processing after imaging, nor special chemistry.

If you bang Kodak hard enough, they'll charge you the same as Fuji, too.
