Re: Photopolymer Plate Options
Hi Susan,
Yes - Krene is static-prone. I use anti-static spray to clean and treat
it before each session.
As far as how to use it...if your NuArc is a flip-top or designed where
you put your materials face-down on the glass to expose, you may not be
able to use the Krene. Mine is a conventional vacuum frame, where mats
are placed face-up toward the light, so I was able to remove the glass
and tape the Krene under the frame. I also wedged foam core strips
along the perimeter where the glass used to sit to improve the seal
somewhat.

Hey Jon,
I was JUST in the studio with the Krene vinyl, trying to decide how to
get it to work for me, using the Nuarc.... Can you elaborate on how
you attach it? What the Nuarc has is a rubber gasket around the
perimeter of the vacuum bed. That's what I need to pull it down
against, firmly enough to let the vacuum develop. BY the way, I find
the krene wildy static prone. I have a big vaporizer going in the
studio to cut down on static (and I even have one of those little
desktop fountains sitting near the scanner and printer... I've noticed
a real difference in the amount of lint in my scans since I got it
)... but the Krene is still a shocking (har har {can't afford to pay
Mark for the "other" laugh}), material to use.
All free ideas accepted :o)
