... such as the Fujifilm ProT3 (thermal). Has come to my attention that maybe these plates have to carry a lot of water, therefore more ink, leading to the obvious problems, apart from cost.
Anyone know anything about this? Even if you haven't experienced it, maybe some scuttlebutt, which is all it is at this stage.
The ProT3 has been around since '96. I like to think that as they've reached v3, that such an issue might have beeb dealt with.
... due a field visit next week.
I just burned a set of Ecomaxx plates for testing here. Other than inverting the output for the platemaker everything was the same. Haven't run them yet but I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks fbomb. I'll do the research on those as well; see if they're similar to the ProT3s.
We just gave up on the Eccomax plates. We found that the water balance was a bitch to keep right. Seemed to get lots of scumming.
Running Agfa Azura now and pretty happy.
