[Alt-photo] Re: wrinkles

[Mary]

I've seen what is probably the same phenomenon with Toyobo KM 43 
photopolymer plates. I printed an image and noticed some pretty obvious 
wavy bands in the print. It was puzzling, not to mention disappointing, 
because there was nothing in the positive (printed on Arista II inkjet 
film btw), so I inspected the plate. I could just barely see it on the 
plate, but couldn't figure out why it was there.

The plates come with a UV-protective plastic film that you peel off 
before exposing. The next time I removed the protective film from a new 
plate in preparation for exposing it, I noticed the wavy bands on the 
film and on the plate. I wouldn't call them wrinkles, really - more like 
ripples. It sounds like exactly the same sort of thing, don't you think? 
Has anyone else noticed this with these plates?
