Scanner that can read Kodak Sonora Xtra plates

[Ralph Corneliussen]

We switched to Sonora Xtra plates and a few months ago. When we were using the Trillian plates we could use a scanner to verify the bar codes on the black plates. Now that we are on Sonora Xtra plates our scanner does not read them anymore. Is there a scanner that can read through the emulsion for lack of better words so we can verify correct barcodes on each job prior to it going to the press?

Could you post a photo of a bar code on the Sonora plate?

Another print shop near us had to go back to wet plates after switching to Sonora when they installed a Koenig & Bauer 105 press, the registration cameras on the press cannot read the targets on Sonora plates.

Do you mean scanner or plate reader?
