Today it's used by screen printers mostly. For info, try this Web site:
         http://www.ulano.com  ("Rubylith" is their trade name)
         http://sepsinc.com/cat01.htm  (catalog listing, with prices)

With computer preparation of printing plates, it's not used much anymore, 
so you will find prices a little steep.
