[Possum]

You, too  ????

[frailer]

anyone switch from kodak to Fuji Plates?
problems?

Never used Kodak. Been on Fuji for many moons.
What typr you planning to switch to? Thermal, violet?

[Joe]

We did. Love the Fuji plates. No problems to speak of.

We went from the sword to the LH-PJ because Kodak changed the emulsion without telling anyone. Took a month for Kodak to admit it and they never got it to work.

Now since a friend's shop tested the Kodak Sonora XP we might be moving to those. I still don't trust Kodak at all but since it's cheaper I guess we'll give it a try until they screw us again.

Fuji LH-PJ-an old Kodak rep told me the Fuji plate is a better plate.
I will have 1 new plate size, I'm hoping they are going to teach me how to create plate sizes etc..
Processor installing today.

Shouldn't take long.

I figure maybe a month before they raise the price/change the plate.

I was told heidelberg is beating everyone on price for everything but like my boss I have a feeling they are just doing that so they can raise the price later. I don't see the people that charge $300 for a button being cheap for any amount of time.

I drove past those fuckers when we went through Rochester. I wanted to throw an egg at the place.

The excitement builds.  :cool:  Setting up plate sizes is Jamie Oliver>easy-peasy.  Hmmm.. at the XMF end.. You talking about at 'setter end?
They should set it up, then pretty much a set-and-forget. Especially with one plate size.  :undecided:

[Tracy]

3 plate sizes one was new
made my first fuji's all is good
install on monday

[frailer]

They should set you up with tickets/templates for each plate size. Am not too au fait with choosing plate sizes, as we've been one-size-komori forever. A bit dumbed-down on that one.

[Tracy]

Fraaaaileer! :laugh:
Do you use the Work and Turn or do you just do a flatwork?

[impodave]

I use both.  Work and Turns take a little more time to build initially, but once you add them to your library, you're good to go.

[impodave]

FYI, we have three plate sizes also....
