Hi

I know nothing about actinic lights. Am I right in thinking that they are
similar to flourescents? I would love to know more if someone can help. If
you are printing more than one process ( say gum and pt), would UV tubes be
your best bet?
Thanks,

Rod:
  Super Actinic and aquarium bulbs give a very high output between 390-410
nm, making them an excellent source of UV for Platinum, but lousy for some
of the other processes such as gum, which is much more photoactive around
360-380 nm. Each process has its own requirements
