We were actually thinking about converting one of the plate burners into either a homebrew cabinet or a still. Discreet, out of sight, fans....

I know - I'm just trying to clean up the store room and found the spare bulbs. Knowing how much they were originally worth, I couldn't bear the thought of tossing them in the garbage. We still have the 2 flip-top plate burners too, but I'm not going to move those antiques out until I retire. We haven't used any of this stuff since the end of '03.

Your lucky, I used mine yesterday... :embarrassed:
We just got a plate burner at the middle of 2011 and we still have repeat jobs that were all originally camera shot.
I will continue to burn plates for those just so I don't have to re-typeset the art.

But I have two spare bulbs and they don't look to be the same style, sorry.
Try screen print forums, they still use flip tops and positives for exposing screens.

We started converting any digital art over for CTP use in late '03 during our install. Any film we had in stock that did not have a digital origin was copi-dot scanned and we gradually converted all of that to straight digital as companies made artwork changes. We ended up with one film client that wouldn't switch. They were a very small % of our business so we let them go rather than keep chemistry in the processor and FTP plates in stock.

I kinda wish I still had a vacuum frame. Made glueing proofs together a lot easier. On the occasion I have to do it.

Yeah, weird. I did a number of visits/assessments re copi-dot, thinking it would be a big deal. As it turned out, a storm in a teacup. Glad we didn't bother. Was an Eskofot system I looked at. Would have been dead money in a few months, with hindsight.   :undecided:

Nah he's always doing crazy shit. When he moved to Portland, he biked there from Buffalo. 2 summers ago he biked from Portland to somewhere in the Midwest and went kayaking down the Mississippi. Last summer he was camping with a buddy and literally had to outrun a forest fire in the middle of the night. If he didn't have pics I wouldn't believe half the shit he's done. I'm sure he'll write a book about it all someday.

We looked at it too back in the early days of CTP, but for the few occasions we had to get a scan done it didn't make sense to buy a scanner. Within a year no-one was trying to convert film. It was just easier and cheaper to re-do the art digitally.

We demoed a Eskofuck once. Damn near useless and amazingly we didn't buy it. Went against every other purchase we made that year.
