Hi David,

printing with plate burners works fine in most cases - be careful to
check the lamp, some processes (also with plates) require different
wavelengths to be optimal. You can find cheap plateburners through
graphic arts dealers - they udually have customers wanting to get rid off
them; I know of at least three people that got their plateburner for
free. They have little or no secondhand value in the graphic arts circuit
where most people are either installed or need big formats, we can
usually settle for what printers call small formats; A3-50x70 cm...
If you want to try digital negatives, the plateburners have the
additional advantage of behaving like a pointlight.

Good luck,

Carl Fransman
