Southern Litho Plates

[rm864922]

Is anyone out there having issues with Southern Litho CTP plates, either the Violet or Thermal? We are looking at them, but concerned about quality, i.e. low prices sometimes equal lower quality? We've heard some stuff but all from competitors; would like some real world experiences if they are out there. Any feedback from live users would be appreciated! Thanks!

Dont know about there plates but we have been using their film for years and it has performed great. There pricing is very low compared to others and has saved us a fortune in film costs. Most of the time you get what you pay for but in this instance their products have been great. Get some samples and try them you might be suprised and save a small fortune. Good Luck.

We used to use them. Price was great. Quality was OK. Plate processor, chemistry, maintenance, and cleanup was a nightmare.
