Processless plate health issues

[paulc]

We are in the process of converting our operation to Aurora processless plates. I'm told there are some health issues and that I'll need special filters for the platesetters to cut down on contaminents inside the machine. Anyone have some advise or information?

You might want to do a search on that plate. We looked at going to the Aurora when the Azura plate was being phased out and after reading the problems people here have had with the plates we stayed clear of it. Azura from Agfa changed to a newer Azura and we are hesitant to spend $5k to Kodak to redo our laser setting on our Magnus.
