Re: Photopolymer... Nuarc or BL Fluorescents?



Hi Susan,

For polymer plates, a point source with vacuum frame is the best way to go, IMHO.
Congrats on finding a unit so close to you. I had to drive to Santa Fe from Boulder to acquire mine (and I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I had to).

Best wishes,
Jon

I'm on the verge of ordering BL bulbs and buying supplies to make a UV

away from where I live.  No freight charges, in other words.

My question is whether they are a good type of light source for
photopolymers from digital negs?  Which way should I go?
